OK, I'm not kidding about this; but that actually happened to me! I was on a work trip to Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, AL. My friend Ricky liked to build dune-beetle-buggies out of old VW beetles (like this one) and race them around the hills of Alabama. He took me out for a speedy little jaunt and he drifted out of control and we glided right into a tree just like that. It pierce the firewall on the passenger side (my side) and I heard a gut wrenching "KA-RUNCH" and watched the tree literally "grow" right out of the floorboard.

I jumped up out of the seat as far as I could and the tree pierced the seat and went through to the back. I found myself sitting on the limb, pinched up against the roof. Ricky looked at me and thought it had gone through my abdomen. He opened the door and puked his guts out, he was really messed up about it.
