    I don't think it was an English Oak. If it had been it would have said 'terribly sorry for the damage old boy', 'it was my fault for growing in the wrong place' and compensated you for the damage to your Prius :)

    Oh, I get it now, you're the typical "New Yorker." Please pardon my temporary sanity. I'll try to make certain it doesn't happen again. Enjoy plowing through trees in your new GM "Yank Tank." BTW; you may want to let your dog, .. you know, ... mark each of the trees before you plow em over.

    Trees Sueing Toyota

    Sherwood Forest (JNN) - Trees are banding together to bring a classs action suit against Toyota. "We've had it!" a Poplar spokestree said. "Toyotas are plowing into us with little provocation! It's not like we can run away or anything!" Two Post Oaks uttered their agreement. A member of Treehuggers Against Toyota is said to be acting as the go-between for the forest and their legal council. "The trees are getting a bum rap in this!" Treehugger Moonglow Hollywood said. "Toyota will have to pay, and pay well!"

    When asked about the tree that fell on two Prius in Boulder, Colorado last year, the Poplar replied "It was self defense! Those Prius were driving beside that Maple, and the Maple was in fear of his life! Colorado has a Make My Day law - the Maple was just defending himself!" When it was noted the Prius were showing no signs of being agressive toward the tree, a Post Oak uttered "and now they never will!"

    Authorities fear an escellation of this conflict, and warn Toyota drivers to avoid tree-lined streets. "We know there have been deaths from falling trees in the East this winter," officer Pigg noted. "We can't be sure these weren't cases of murder!" Police continue to investigate all tree-related incidents.

    When two Prius pass each other in Boulder and a tree falls on them both- do they make a sound? | autoinsane

    This is a fraud! A scam! I do not believe a word of it, and certainly not worth my time reading any comments.

    It seems to me that your dog is the one that should be embarassed; humiliated by your scam. :)

    Don't Worry, I'm gonna split the Money from the lawsuit with him. Besides, he wants to date one of the lawyers, I think they're of the same breed.;)

    Makes sense, everybody knows Bush was behind the Gas Gouging by BIG OIL that made the Prius sales skyrocket, and the GOP's campaign war chest so heavy. I mighta driven a Ford if not for that, so I guess I'll havta add Bush to the Class Action. Maybe I can relieve him of some those 'Honorariams from Blackwater, Big Oil and all those Lowlife Wall Street types. Maybe buy the dog a diamond collar.:p

    I tell ya, it's a conspiracy--and They aren't waiting for the poor Prius to be alone on the street. No. Saturday there was a home invasion in my neighborhood and the Tree attacked the neighbor's Prius while it was sitting right in the garage. At first I was just afraid to drive it now I'm also afraid to be indoors with it. This mental anguish is keeping me up at night and I can no longer perform my job. I'm going to have to take the county bus to the Social Security office so I can file my claim & call those disability lawyers that advertize on late night tv. They seem like such nice, helpful people.

    Not really, we were playin' that for the lady that ran out of gas, and was goin' back to GM 'cause it was all Toyota's Fault. Now THAT's a story that's truly 'Out There' ! Even Rod Serling would have had trouble believing That One ! Steven King oughta meet her, she could be his muse.

    For my tale of woe I was thinkin of usin' the theme from the old TV series, the Rockford files.

    Join the Class Action, that's where the Triple Damages are found.

    America may not have enough doctors, but we graduate lawyers from law schools the way fleas grow on a dog.:D
