Horrible week for the max...

I just need to vent and maybe you guys will feel better about your car if something has happened to it lately. Ok well first off it almost got destroyed by a huge tree that rotted out about 3 feet from the base, luckily a limb from the tree next to it caught it and saved my car, however when that happened another huge limb fell off and nailed my hood...2 big dings. Then I was gone for the day and left my car in the street cuz we couldnt park in the driveway just incase the limb holding up the other tree broke. So the guys came to cut the tree down and take it away. Apparently they must have had the wood chipper in the street and must have ran the branches all over the trunk of my car because there was about 20 seperate scratches all over (luckily they were all just in the clearcoat and i was able to compound em out). THEN I was on my way to school and stopped for someone to make a left and then BAM, a huge limb from ANOTHER tree falls on my roof, small ding but a bunch of scratches across the roof. I pull over to check it out...start going again and BAM, BAM...2 more branches nail my roof(I was also in the left lane, the wind blew the branches across the street in mid air...i saw them comming but i couldnt do anything or else i woulda caused an accident). THEN i washed my car and went out for about an hour and i was behind a pump out truck(still not sure wat was in it but whatever it was it was brown...you know where im goin with this)...anyways the truck stops short and there was a hole at the top and SPLASH....ALL over my car....front to back. So i get home to rinse it and take a close look and see that apparently some @$$hole tried to steal one of my headlights. They put a screwdriver in between the light and my fender and chipped the paint all the way down to the metal and it had started to rust...also the headlight doesn't line up correctly now, i think the fender is pulled out a bit. ALL OF THIS WITHIN 1 WEEK. Thanks for listening! Anyone else with crappy luck lately?

yea i have the data dots and theft-deterrent bracket. That might have stopped em, or someone may have been comming, who knows...the worst part is i don't even know where it happend. Since it wasnt missing i didnt notice right away. And its kind of hard to stay away from those trees, i live on long island, i guess all i can do is pray.

Sucks for you man. Hope you steer clear from trees. Sounds like you are nice to other drivers--letting them turn and all that...
