Don't park under trees
Well, about 3 weeks ago I parked my runner in its usual spot under the tree in our front yard. It was normal mid April weather.. The next morning I woke up to about 6 inches of snow on the ground.. And if that wasn't enough to piss me off, the willow tree was now on top of my runner..
Can't even see the truck
The tree got it the worst though.. and the neighbors fence
Snow in the middle of april.. (Although I realize that is probably a regular occurance for some of you guys)
Well, luckily the tree fell right on top above the passenger window. I feared that it smashed a window out or smashed the hard top. I think it just kinda fell on it and slid down the rest of the front of the truck. When we got the branches off, the passenger mirror was bent forward and the antenna was bent. The top of the roof only had a couple small dents:
not too bad
Cant even see it from ten feet out. (my buddys runner in the background)
Lesson learned: don't park under trees in the middle of april cuz it will snow and make dents in your truck

That's nothing. I parked my car (funny enough, also a Supra) under a lamp post in front of my house, ran inside for 10 minutes, and when I came out, my car was pooped on SEVEN times! In 10 minutes! Damn birds.....

Well at least you won't have to worry about that tree falling anymore, now you can park there without worry.
I'm surpirsed that only 6" of snow would do that to a tree, you're right what a weak ass tree. It probably fell over relatively slow as the accumulated, so you got lucky.
