hit a tree at about 60 and then roll it over!!
removed hood, radaitor, intercooler, front axle and leaf springs, front engine crossmember, rear engine mounts broken(so engine fell though the frame rail!), transmission bellhousing broken so it fell to the ground hanging by the driveshaft all during the impact
massive carnage!!! why people should go in control when driving large vehicles.

thank god for I pass lanes in IL, as i was way to wide to fit through a regular toll booth once i got onto 294 due to the fact it was so bent it doggtracked a good 3 feet to the left behind the wrecker.

just wondering how big of tree and was it still standing, them trees dont like movin much

Must have been about half the size of a Red Wood:doah:

When he hit the tree, did it knock the drink out of his hands? :doah:

It definitely didn't have to be too big. You can't move trees to easily, unless you hit them up high. It takes something pretty big to budge a tree with a 12-18in diameter.

It takes even more to get the damn stumps out. (I've dug out my fair share)
