I drove around in a Hyundai for all of my senior year in high school. It's fun being able to hit things and not care

Sorry to see the car like that though.

Wow, that really bites.

Keep in mind that every tree has an owner, and the owner might be responsible. Their insurance should pay for repairs, in full, and provide alternate transportation equal to what you roll in now.

Be sure to send a thank you card to your liberal tree hugging politicians that won't let you cut and properly care for a tree that can cause property damage, and you still loose the tree.
