Tuesday during a bad storm a 24" diameter tree branch came down on my mini clubmanS and broke the racks (which really saved me from worse damage), bent the doors on the back, lowered my passenger door and pretty much resulted in close to 3K in damages and it will take 24 days to fix. At least Perry Buick is a super body shop and their insurance adjuster (hawkeye) really knows her stuff. It will be better than new when the "Blue Meannie" returns! I watched it from inside the art center where we were doing a charity auction for the Girl Effect. It was even worse seeing a 70 to 80 mph gust grab the tree after it smashed my car and then it picked up the branch in mid air and rolled it over onto the right side of my car doing even more carnage....shheeeeesssshhhh....

Glad it could be repair; winds were nasty in Kentucky last Thursday and Friday nights too.
