Things that really suck: Getting your minivan crushed by a tree in Bay Ridge

I went to go move my car last night and I happened upon a really unfortunate sight:

Some poor shlub got his car buried by a bunch of fallen branches.  At first, I pitied the owner of the little black car, until I went around for a closer inspection:

Turns out it wasn't the black car that got the brunt of the damage, and it was, in fact, the whole damn tree that game down.   Actually, what I didn't show here is that the tree actually completely missed the little black car, other than a few light branches here and there... by inches!

The whole damn thing got yanked right out of the ground at the roots:

Man, if I would have come out to discover my car like this, I'm pretty sure I would have cried.
