I thought this was one of those, "I was driving around a bend in the dark in the rain too fast, and this tree just jumped out in front me!" sorta crash stories.

A blonde had just totaled her car in a horrific accident. Miraculously, she managed to pry herself from the wreckage without a scratch and was applying fresh lipstick when the state trooper arrived.
"My God!" the trooper gasped. "Your car looks like an accordion that was stomped on by an elephant. Are you OK ma'am?"
"Yes, officer, I'm just fine" the blonde chirped.
"Well, how in the world did this happen?" the officer asked as he surveyed the wrecked car.
"Officer, it was the strangest thing!" the blonde began. I was driving along this road when from out of nowhere this TREE pops up in front of me. So I swerved to the right, and there was another tree! I swerved to the left and there was ANOTHER tree! I served to the right and there was another tree! I swerved to the left and there was ...."
"Uh, ma'am", the officer said, cutting her off, "There isn't a tree on this road for 30 miles. That was your air freshener swinging back and forth."

If it was, it would have lasted a week on here.

couple years ago my sister was backing up in her PT Cruiser and a tree ran out behind her and smashed the hatch and light. Those damn trees, they never pay attention to where they're going.

Downshifted and lost control... Op, 1 less limb for birds to land on, that could save you a cleaning!

Glad you and your car are both ok.

Forgive me but my demented mind immediately thought this.

I about put my Toyota grill through the trunk of a Synergy Green Camaro yesterday. My brakes on the truck are not like the Camaro, but I guess he was hoping it was yesterday. I had to lock things up as he cut me off to pull into a tight spot between me and the car I was following. I would not of felt bad at all. Extremely unsafe move to get between me and the other car just to turn at the next intersection about 30 yards later. Not a car behind me for another 100 yards, could have easily slowed down a little and pulled in behind me. After the stupid move, all I did was get more pissed after seeing all that just to turn and all the room behind me to safely make that move. Damn you Camaro crazy drivers!!
