Exclamation My E63 Vs. Big Tree !!

Came back home from work on the 18th of this month. VERY VERY windy day Looking forward to a nice quiet night. I get a call from my friend who used my car and had it parked inside his house. He says to me HSH i don't know what happened but a tree is on yor car. I ask him what the damage was and he just tells me i'm not sure, i'm coming to pick you up and we can both come back and See.
Let the pictures speak....

1st and only thing i'm thinking while i wait in suspense for him to pick me up is that the car is long gone, finnitooo, totalled...

30 MIN later i get to the car to find luckily most of the tree, resting on his garage roof... That roof saved me plus someone had to be praying for me that day. A smaller branch as u guys can see was resting on the car, it was soo heavy we couldn't move it, so yes we had to cut it off with full suspense of the whole thing fallin but thank god it didn't

I escaped with four minor Yes minor dents over the rear door with all the paint in tact......

KEEP UR BEASTS AWAY FROM HEAVY BIG OBJECTS...

Sorry to hear about and see what happened to your E63... Yikes!

Good to know you only have a few minor dents which probably can be massaged out and be like new again.

Hope all goes well.

Are the dents small enough to be fixed by paintless dent removal or is it going to take bondo?

According to the garage i deal with, its not as simple as Paintless Dent Removal, another thing that happened is the plastic seal on the panoramic roof was slighty picked out so thats gonna have to be replaced. They're gonna have to push the dents out from the inside so some panel removal is required. Also a respray of the top pannel is gonna be done. Not soo simple but doable...

Wow! Luckily the damage was minimal. Normally I don't like those colors, but your car looks great in them.

No longer stock '06 E55, A3 3.2 Quattro, LRD4 HSE, R107 280SL
This sorta thing happened a long time ago to me ... I was REALLY lucky ... tree fell over pivoted on the fence next to it and cruched the car next to me.

My car was litereally unntouched parked between the fence and the car that got crushed ...

I just reversed out 0f the parking and ... kept checking the car thinking I could not have possibly have come out unscathed ... not a mark.

Thanks to those in control up there btw...
