Sooo, I hear this WOT sound outside...
Sounds like racers outside.

As I'm walking towards the front window to investigate. ..


My window and frond wall explode towards me...

Some old lady floored her car out of control and drive into my living room...

Channel9 news charlotte crew was out... I'm on video boarding up the damage. ..

2015 toyota...

1946 woman... small problem.

Well, a stroke is forgiveable. Not her fault. Poor lady. Just a bum situation.

Fortunate she wasn't driving a diesel Benz. You might have been tempted to part it out.

If she was driving a 240D, she probably wouldn't have done nearly as much damage... might have hit the house at like 10 MPH .

Call your homeowners insurance. Her auto carrrier may deny coverage if it was a medical event.

I recommend a nice dry fit field stone wall in front of the house for the future.
