    Yikes Bruce...sorry for the loss.

    Valued member of this group, you were the one that told me to "drive it like you stole it!" when I was wondering whether to buy it. Always remember that.

    I hope you get made whole plus a half and are back in the fold with a new car soon.

    Bruce, though I am half a world away from you guys, I feel your pain. To us, these cars are like an extension of the family. Good thing you are ok.

    That really, really sucks man. Hopefully you are made whole if this was due to another's fault, and you come out with a better car in the end. In the mean time, I feel your pain bro. Hang in there. :(

    Sorry about the car Bruce, I'm glad no one was hurt. Cars can be replaced, people can't. That still suck balls though. I hope you get a nice fat check so you can buy another one.

    Same here, I knew it was Bruce's car soon as I saw his aluminum splitter. I didn't wanna say anything until he did.

    Holy cow!! This is the stuff I have nightmares about. Waking up soaking wet in sweat I have to run to my garage and make sure the old gal is ok.

    Seriously, I'm glad you weren't in the car when it happened....much better to mourn the loss of a friends car than the friend themselves.

    I just might know of a replacement vehicle tucked away somewhere in Arizona.

    Anyway, glad you're OK........physically.

    So sorry Bruce. A tree falling in SoCal is strange enough. The fact it hit a Ferrari, unreal. Hopefully you're cashing in your winning lottery ticket right now.

    If you need a loaner Ferrari for awhile, I've got a Mondial that doesn't get driven enough...

    Hope to hear from you soon,

    Lou and Sherri

    There was a case last Summer of a woman out for a walk in a local park with her daughter. A big tree fell and killed her as she walked by. Not even a really windy day. A completely random event.

    So sorry to hear about your car Bruce. On a side note, I'd check to see where Tim was when the branch fell. Just sayin...

    Lost my 348 recently, so I feel your pain. SO glad nobody was in the car, that would have been tragic.
