Well I just got back from Indy, where my old college roomate got married at his parents house. Long story short, freak of nature windstorm comes out of nowhere (seemed like a nice 10mph breeze), then BAM 4 trees come down within seconds. One tree flattens the reception tent squashing a few of us, only 2 seriously hurt enough to go to hospital. I got smacked by the tent supports in the face, a few more inches either way and I would have been squashed like a bug. After I got my nose to stop bleeding I go to check on the cobra ~100yds away. Yep, it was buried under another tree limb.:cuss: Didn't look too bad at the time - found all the scratches/dents the next day.
Luckily :??: I parked next to suburban that absorbed the majority of the tree branch - clearly he'll just get a check - flattened down to the doors.
Just got back from the insurance guy, seemed nice enough, taking it to the dealer to have it repaired. Looks like repainting the hood/fenders/roof, new roof trim and new trunk lid & spoiler. Hopefully nothing structural.
So if you get invited to an outdoor wedding/reception - :nono: take the beater - I even wasted $6 to have it washed after my 5hr drive to Indy! On the up side, my car got on TV! for the Indy people - that 2sec flash of blue was my Cobra buried under the tree branches on your Sat 11pm Ch6 News. I'll stop the whining now...:whine: At least both I walked away and the car drove away :burnout:
