So, at about 9PM last night, I get a phone call from our renters at our other house (I kept a couple cars there while I was working on customer projects and friends projects back at home).

Anyways, this phone call lifted me out of my seat and into my car faster then ever before. I arrive at my other house to a destruction that I would never have imagined would have happened to me.

I took pictures this morning as I pulled up and leading to the back where my cars sat.

An amazingly huge tree (would take about two of me to hug it) plowed over my cars.

To say the least, my very rare 1971 factory 4-speed crown was pretty much totaled; bent the door pillar and all... (I will try to save it). My 1967 Toyota Stout is no longer: Cab is gone, and so is the frame. My Other wagon got involved too, but at most it suffered a couple dents and scratches... so far its hard to say exactly the extreme extent of the damage, but here are some revealing pictures.

Sad night indeed. :cry: :cry:

Nobody is going to understand this as much as us man.

This is one of the fucking worst things that can happen.

We have to try and fix the Crown...

R.I.P. Stout - You were such an amazing and impressive truck. Let alone a piece of history.

My condolences to you.

all i can say is.

HOLY FUCK man ..

That sucks beyond anything i've ever seen. .
like. . . a enzo/lambo/carrera GT you can replace. . These classics are pieces of history. . and CANNOT be replaced. . even if you could fix them . . they would not be the same. .

Fuck man i feel your pain. .

I came to work today and my fenders (sitting on top of my car) and all my stacks of tires were all over the fukcin place. . Pretty nutz. . they were tied up and shit. .

I just died a little inside. Ive drooled and cried over cars in the local j-yard. Crowns, stouts, celicas, cressidas, and all the others. Loosing a car isnt shit. Loosing pieces of history like yours is the worst.
