^^^^LOL...here goes:
Step 1 - Do not own a truck ---- use your Alero like one and go to the store to purchase 10 2x6x14's.
Step 2 - Open trunk, lower rear seats and place down center of the car resting on the center console.
Step 3 - Flag load and proceed home.
Step 4 - Rest your arm on load to ensure it "remains secure" for the journey.
Step 5 - Come to a stop in traffic and hope there is someone behind you that can't see the orange flags (or your car for that matter).
Step 6 - Prepare to be amazed as the wood is launched through the dash.
Now you have a genuine wood dash.
By the way, as a testament to the Alero everything still worked except my aftermarket radio (which was against the windshield) and the hazard lights/turn signals (only because the relay had become unplugged).

It's been awhile since the last post, but I thought I'd see how you were coping, and I have a question...
Did the security light come on?

damage looks like:
- windshield
- seat
- radio
- dashboard
- ignition cylinder trim
- gauge bezel
- radio console trim
- misc. wiring
and whatever exterior damage (there has to be some on the rear... but all the above + labor would be expensive probably

Haven't been on in a while..but yes it was written off...damages of $5500...value of $4750. All the dash, radio, and controls would have needed to be replaced. The dash mount was wrecked too. Unknown if the firewall was damaged. Passenger seat would have required replacing, in addition to fixing metal clips that rear seats fasten too. Some metal would need to be bent back into place to close trunk and top plastic cover replaced. Probably a couple of other things..so all that plus labour.
So far as me, suprisingly I was pretty unphased...definately lucky...only small scrape on arm/bruise where rested on the wood.
Missing the Ho.

Be thankful there was no passenger. If there was he'd have no head.
