Default Disaster Avoided..with pic

This winter was crazy we had plenty of days with the winds over 70mph. I actually have been waiting for this day when I do not have to hear my bb hoop clanging back and forth. One night I did not hear anything I was like wtf why is it so quite and I bugged out, and there it was. Thank god the wind blew it in the other direction....Disaster Avoided!!!

Why didn't you park your car so that it doesn't get in range of the bbhoop fall range to be safe?

Whoa! that could have been real bad. That must have felt good seeing it laying on the ground facing the other direction.

Are you sure it did not hit your car first and then bounce back the other direction? The car cover may be hiding the damage.

Just kidding.

The cover kept blowing off bc of the wind finally I just kept it off. I just washed it the other day in 30 degree weather so it did not bounce off....wheew!! The car was filthy from the cover being off, so after I washed it I decided to put it back on, I probably will not drive until March. There are so many cars in and out of my drive way that was the best place, my beater sits behind it.
