Tree Branch + Car = Bad Ending
Tonight I was driving down the road at about 60mph with an incoming storm to my right as the wind was picking up (it hadn't even started raining yet!) this tree branch falls and smacks into the front end It all happened so fast i didn't even think it had hit the front end that hard because it came across the windshield and flew over the car. the branch was pretty solid (judging by what it did to the car) and I'm still trying to figure out how the hell the passenger quarter panel got dented in like it did knowing it was one branch and it hit the hood, grille, and right quarter panel Sorry for the crappy night pics i will post more in the daytime. The damage looks a lot worse in person

Passenger headlight still works but it has a broken mounting bracket so if you touch it it moves a few inches down into the engine bay Drivers headlight seems to be ok cant sell cuz insurance is fixin the car and i'm sure they wouldn't like that. Sorry

Andy, I am so sorry for your Fit, but count your blessings it did not land on your driver side windshield! You would be looking for some new teeth under best circumstances. Car can get fixed or replaced, life or body parts not.
This puts it in perspective for me. Gravel truck chips and dings are a joke. I'll take them any day istead of this.
Andy, I am glad you are OK. Insurance will take care of the car. See if you can substitute OEM hood replacement with carbon one if you care about them. At least it would be something positive out of the whole thing for the car.

That is so bad but lucky that no one was hurt or you did not wreak the car causing more damage. We've had so many storms here too - darn
that nasty weather!
Hope you get it fixed and fit again really soon.
Cat :x
