    Took my two idiots out for a drive in our local state park a couple of days ago.

    Nearing the halfway point on a fairly heavily wooded road, I saw that there was a car creeping up behind us, so I accelerated a *tiny* bit and then maintained that newer speed. We were doing about 15-17 mph when i heard a huge WHOMP! and the truck jolted.

    A tree about 70 feet in height just gave up on this sunny, windless day and fell.

    I'm glad I sped up as much as I did- I'm not certain we would've made it otherwise.

    The damn truck didn't have a scratch on it before this. And I just installed my Clazzios about a week and a half ago. Dammit.

    Be careful out there.

    Glad you're ok and sorry about your truck.

    If it's any consolation, this is the best Friday (almost) thread in a long time.

    That changed the tune of the day.. I'm sure you are glad to be ok but that certainly put a dent in your feelings and truck.. like the wheels though!

    Yup. For a total of three idiots in the car. You can just barely see Ladys’ ears in the side view photo.
