I know that this may not be thirdgen related but I just thought that you guys should see this and have a moment of silence for a great car. It is my buddies 1985 Buick Grand National that had a tree fall on it yesterday!!

I had a tree blow over and land on my 81 Trans Am.....But it didn't do any damage to it other than put some small scratches on it. The car was covered but the thick trunk didn't hit it. Just the smaller branches.

Sorry to see such a nice car get trashed like that....*moment of silence*
