This is why we buy comphrensive insurance for our cars: for the odd case of a car-eating tree. Of course I don't bother with such insurance because. never having seen a car-eating tree, I saw no point in insuring against them. In fact, I thought such trees were just pure legend. Ents, I think there are called. Another thought: Maybe this is the beginning of the green revolution! This is the story of the car eaten heard around the world!
