The backyard at the cottage is quite steep so the driveway is below the street. I have trees that are above the driveway. A dead tree fell, although it was not a particularly windy day, on my car and that of my GF. Her car was totalled and mine has C$35,000 worth of damage .. so far. We have three cutters coming in to clean that portion of the land.
That piece of wood is actually sticking in 2 feet in the car. My biggest concern is whether I will see my car before xmas. Driving a Mitsubishi RVR meanwhile. Not the same thing!!! Last edited by 255zr; 11-14-2020 at 11:06 AM.. Reason: Grammar |

Wild, but glad to read no one was injured... the car and trees can be replaced but people cannot. Look on the bright side... you get a new car and new landscape.

That’s why i can be humorous about the whole thing. Although the ar my GF will get doesn’t excite me all that much and it seems i will be lucky to see my car again before 2021

I got the open pore wood finish, too. Mine is on the inside, though.
P.S. Glad to hear no one got hurt!

I do not like this individual wood option one bit and definitely wouldn't spec a car with it.
Good luck getting it fixed quickly

So talked to my dealer who is repairing the car. It seems we are now at C$40,000 worth of damages (added the full back seat. Chards of glass cut the leather).
Bad news: a lot of parts are back order, so won’t see my beast until 2021. Bummer! It’s already been a month! |

So it seems that parts are still backorder. No end in sight and now my insurance company has contacted the dealer to let them know they will stop paying the courtesy car on Saturday.
My dealer says this makes no sense and will contact the insurance company. My insurance broker agrees this makes no sense. Fingers crossed, cause otherwise need to find a Plan B has my gf has not replaced her car yet and was not intending to do so until the Spring |

Did you talk to the dealership about them providing you a free loaner given that the wait is beyond what you would consider "normal"? Good luck and i hope that this all works out for you in the end. |

40,000 CAD for some body panels and glass?
Man...body shops are some of the biggest rackets in all of dirty business. MY GF's 2015 X6 was rear ended and she needed a new trunk and bumper. $18000- 1/5 the price of the car for 2 things. Its insane. |
