Pathfinder vs Tree

Over the weekend we were at Koogs's cabin. It has been raining a lot and anyone who has been there knows its not the nicest road to ride in on. We were driving back from town about 7 pm on Saturday night. I want to go down on record as saying Koogs was driving and not me. Of course it doesn't mean the outcome would have been any different but.....it makes me feel better. Again as anyone who has driven in or out of that road knows trees fall and need to be removed from the road. Usually it just means chainsawing a section of the tree out wide enough to open the road up and leaving the rest of the tree there. In this case there was a old sawed tree on the side of the road. This one happened to be laying on its branches so it wasn't on the ground but about 4-5 feet in the air. As Koogs came around the corner she slid a little and went off the side of the road right into this reminants of a tree. The trunk of the tree caught the passenger side roof(yes the side I was on) and then slid down a little and came through the window. The limb was solid and really didn't move that much. As we were not going that fast there really was no danger of being impaled movie like on the tree limb. I did comment that I thought Koogs was trying to kill me. I had to remind her that I don't have much life insurance yet so she might want to wait to do that. In any case there was glass everywhere from the shattered window. We cleaned the car of glass and duct taped cradboard on both sides of the hole in the windw and drove home. Kind of felt a little white trashish but what can you do. In any case we are fine well except the truck which is currently in the shop getting repaired. Tree 1 Pathfinder 0. Of course the tree was already dead so what kind of damage could the Pathfinder do? Pathfinder needed +1 to Treant damage.
