Home for Christmas...

[efil4frus]

So I drove 10 hours today to visit my parents for the holidays. I was home for about 2.5 hours when I heard a loud crash and the whole house shook. Went outside to find this. Looks like I will be in the market for a new 4Runner...She wasnt even 6 months old....

Welcome Home! Ouuucccchhh! Happy to hear YOU or anybody else was not in the truck. So sorry bud. But, try to have a Merry Christmas anyways.
Be Safe.

Thanks! It definitely could have been worse, and we are very fortunate no one got hurt. Happy Holidays everyone!

Important thing is that nobody got hurt. It's sad of course but on the bright side you'll get a brand new 4Runner as a Christmas present : )

I broke down in tears when I totaled my 98, j think I would have **** my pants and cried in the fetal position for days if that happened to me.

Still, happy holidays and be safe!

Glad no one was injured. That is crazy. I remember from my Scout days as a kid learning about "The widow makers" That was one of them for sure.

How high up was that branch when it fell ?

The "branch" was actually about an 80 foot pine that snapped about 10 feet up. So about 70 feet, lol

Here's a picture of me exacting revenge on the tree...and my last view of her

That's crazy!

What are your plans for a replacement- same color?

Definitely a 2013 Trail with KDSS. I haven't decided on the color, either magnetic gray again or shoreline blue. I haven't seen any shoreline blues in the Northern VA area, so thats what I'm leaning towards.
