2 weeks, 2 fallen trees, 2 close calls

[ak11667 10]

so i live in the "wilderness" in socal and we get wind storms here

my dad has this shitvan as we call it a 1993 plymouth voyager stick shift 1.2l very very near death, it chokes up oil and black smoke, but my dad keeps making me fix it up and nurse it along, well he parks it around back and we use it mainly use it for hauling shit (me and my whole family wants to see the car die)

in the past 2 weeks we have had 2 wind storms and both knocked down 100Ft+ trees, the first one was about 2 weeks ago right next to the cars usual parking spot, missed it by like 2-3 feet

we moved the car to another spot, and last night another 100Ft tree fell, this time bending the antenna and smashing a fence right next to it, this time it missed it by about 10ft

i have pics of both times but the 2nd pic i was too late and the workers had already started to chop up the tree

im just wondering if this is super lucky, or if someone is torturing me

first tree

2nd tree, my thumb is blocking out the sun

I'll agree that I'm glad that nobody was hurt, aside from that I was laughing when I read your story and looked at the pics.

[ricksi30 923]

And I also agree, wall that thing!

[ak11667 10]

I would love to wall it but its so near death and the wire harness is so brittle the tiniest touch breaks a wire and you spend 3 hours fixing something that should be a 5 minute fix

so we moved the car to a 3rd spot, its under another tree, but this tree is in good shape, so im doubting it will fall this time
