What is the worst thing you've had happen to your vehicle?

For me it was a month after I bought my Firebird, and school had just started back. I was standing by my car after school and letting traffic clear outwhen the guy who was parked next to me in a truck with 44 inch tires (for Florida's oh so huge mountains ) just pulls out, or should I say turned out. His front passenger tire went over the hood of my car, then his back tire followed the same path. The guy stops and looks back at hwat had just happened when a few of his redneck buddies tell him "keep going, it aint that bad, just a few scratches." I get pissed off and reach in the trunk of my car and pull out a tire iron and tell his buddies if he keeps going I'm gonna put more than a few scratches in their trucks. Long story short the guy's insurance wound up paying for the damages done to my car, and I milked the shit out of his insurance, I got 4 new tires thrown on, free paint job, and since I was left without a ride for a week and too young to rent a car I got 15 dollars a day. Oh, and the guy had only been driving for a week when all this happened.

I was in at work a few years back and at the time I had the T/A as my only vehicle. During the day winds picked up to over 70mph, and it was dry. Needless to say my car spent most of the day getting sandblasted. Ins picked up the tab thank god. It's happened a few times after that though, and once again the clear's getting kinda thin.

I was at work with the car, and next door they were doing sprayfoam insulation on a roof. It was windy, and the car's whole top and hood got killed by specs of the insulation. Luckily insurance covered it.

Another 70MPH wind day today here.
Several this time of the year.
About a month ago we had some nasty gusts over 100MPH.

I can remember being in HS and the roof for the theater was ripped off by a gust of unknown proportions. Some dumbass screamed tornado and damn near caused a riot to get out of there.

Its a long story, but i'll sum it up. Im on vacation, in the middle of nowhere, driving down a nowhere road at about 10pm and its raining like no tomorrow. I know I should pull over, but im only about 15 mins from where im supposed to be. So I come up to a bend in the road, and all I see is truck headlights in my lane, so I try and dodge him unsucessfully, he also trys to dodge me, this particular truck ends up being one of those trucks that carries glass... so those huge rails on the side made a 2ft tall hole from the rear quarter to the end of the front fender. Needless to say the truck had no damage. The state trooper deemed it as equal fault, and gave us both "Unsafe movement" and "Driving over the yellow line" tickets. Yay.

(Hence why the alignment of the bodypanels on my drivers side isnt exactly correct, they are aftermarket and painted by me.)

Lets see. Would have to be about a week after it got a new paint job we had a bad storm and a big branch fell and hit the passenger side quarter panel denting and scratching the crap outta it.
