The End of One Era, the Beginning of a New One


Here is one of the multiple pictures I took of my former '99 Pontiac Bonneville. It was crushed by a giant oak tree on Saturday at the Guys dorm parking lot at Mt. Vernon Academy.

Here is a clos up picture. The entire back window is completely gone, as is the sun roof. The roof of the car is severly bent and the front winshield is all cracked although still intact. The students tell me the alarm didn't go off when the tree initially fell on the car, only once Mr. Daniels and Dean Wright came to look at the car. Some students said it sounded like a gun.


Here is the front of the car. You can see the window is smashed up pretty bad. Behind the car is the rubble of the tree.

You can clearly see here the right side of the car where the car took the biggest hit from the tree. The frame of the car is detached and bent away from the door! This picture was taken looking down on the closed door. Tomorrow is the awaited meeting with the inspector from State Farm which will start the rest of the process. I already have a rental lined up for 19 days starting Thursday, when I will return the school's Chevy Astro. That will get me through to Thanksgiving Break and hopefully to the new potential Pontiac Grand Prix that my parents have found at Cal's.
