Alero with Genuine Wood Dash (WriteOff)
Well, haven't been on here in a while...but alas as of 3 weeks ago the Alero is no more. She was written off in a rear end collision, although there is no damage to the exterior.
This is what happens when you use your Alero to carry wood and someone rear ends you. I had it flagged as per law, but the individual was a bit "sleepy" and rammed the wood through my dash and front windshield. End result - WRITEOFF...now replaced with...a Minivan.

Yeh, the wood was resting on the center console. I was resting my arm on it when it went through the car...did a number to the passenger seat though. Definately an original way to writeoff a car.

Too much of a pain to bother...no time...although I did consider taking off my painted headlights and selling them. Oh well, if I ever see an Alero driving around with lights that don't match I'll know they came from my Alero

A little goo gone will get rid of that. Wow you are blessed to be alive...I would go and play lotto right now before that blessing wears off. I'm a bit surprised that there wasn't any exterior damage with the amount of damage on the inside. Glad you are alright. Better the car than you!

I don't know about you guys, but I like it! 
You should do a step by step write-up so we all can have wood dashes too!
