Man Damages 2,500-Year-Old Tree By Driving Nissan Armada Through It | Carscoops
The old adage of leaving the wilderness as you found it evidently doesn't apply to this tourist
Too bad.
Was he fined 10 times the car was worth and forbidden from driving anything more complicated than a lawnmower for a decade?
“Let’s just fine the guy about a million dollars and make him unable to get to work for the next ten years because he hit the tree with his side mirror”
You’re fucking unhinged if you think that’s even remotely a reasonable take. I get this community is about decreasing our reliance on cars but that doesn’t give you a pass to be an insufferable piss baby when you get upset about something.
That driver isn’t single-handedly responsible for our car dependent society, so stop acting like they are and direct your frustrations somewhere more healthy.
I think we shouldn't justify antisocial behaviour.
Now,to who the fuck thought drive through sequoias were a good idea?
I feel like something like this should have a steel structure the same shape or a little smaller on either side so that if a dumbass like this tries to get through with too big of a car they just damage the car not the tree. Kinda like those things before parking garages or drive thoughs for height, but on the sides
Or, what if we just don't drive through trees at all?! Like, walk through, bike through, but not drive through. This living tree looks like it has been carved out more than it originally naturally was to specifically accommodate cars?! This munter didn't just gently scrape their wing mirror, they tore it almost completely off by grinding it against the interior of the tree!? Fuck cars! And fuck this specific car and its owners! I hope they enjoy their repair bill!
I love the idea of armored trees.
I was more of thinking a little ways from the tree, but on the tree would look cooler
Also maybe make it pointy so it would shear off excess material to make a tree-hole-shaped-car lol
I mean, it makes it sound like he crashed into the tree. He scrapped his car mirror off into the tree. Dumb but that tree has seen a lot worse, stop with the damn clickbait
Of course it was a SUV...
I love how everyone here is more or less on the same side but still kicking each other in the shins what the appropriate level of anger is.
I don't actually like it when everyone agrees with me. It's... useless. I prefer dialectical friction.
Satan's oldest tree VS God's Drunkest Driver
I'm sure it was the tree's fault. 🙃
The only thing damaged was the passenger side mirror. I’m sure it happens all the time there.

What an awful comment section.
Cars do bring out the worst in people
