I felt really bad when I woke up one day after a storm during the night to see this:
 |
| It was completely covered! The second picture is of the flattened roof! |
A tree in our neighbor’s yard got struck by lightening and crashed down right on top of my little Rambler, caving in the roof! Although I had comprehensive insurance on it, the insurance didn’t cover the damage because it was consider “an act of God” which was listed as an exclusion on my policy. I don’t really remember how long I had that car, but it didn’t take me very long to go find another used car.
This post is in response to Mama Kat’s Writer’s Workshop to write about your first car.

That's too sad about your car!! My Mom also had a Rambler - hers was blue. I always said it looked like a blue frog.
My grandma had a Rambler. You pushed buttons to start it. She used a board to prop up the front seat because the seat was broken. Thanks for helping me remember that car and my grandma.
Oh that's terrible that your first car was damaged and your insurance didn't cover it.
My wife had a Rambler when I first met her.
I never knew that God didn't like Ramblers until now :-)
What a sad ending for you car. Funny how ins didn't cover an act of God. Seriously.
Oh wow! That'd be awful to find your car crushed under a tree! It's too bad the insurance didn't cover it either. My first car isn't being made any more either - I got a 1980 Pontiac Trans Am for my 16th birthday and they stopped being made awhile ago. I'm old!

Beaded Tail: I know--I was bummed and not happy the insurance was useless. I remember the TransAms. Pretty sporty!
When Blogger went AWOL for a day and a half, I lost this post along with the comments and had to repost it. I salvaged the comments from my email notifications that were lost.
Dianna: A blue frog? Mine looked more like a box. It was light green.
RonJoe:
I didn't know that either. . . so sad to see it crunched.

It didn't take long for me to go find a used car to replace it, but yeah, the insurance was useless!

It was a sad end for my car. I felt bad especially since it had been a gift!
Oh, that's a sad story. I can still remember that feeling of freedom, being able to solo in the car though. I even felt that way in the spring when I could take off on my bike, for that matter.
(I got enough comments to send the money for the goat! I am so pleased!) Thanks for the good idea!
That would certainly be an unusual way to lose your car.
Oh no, what a sad end.
