My Tahoe was struck by lightning!!!
My luck really sucks. Sunday night my wife was out shopping and bad weather started moving in. She was driving on an exit ramp and BOOM!!! A blinding white flash, the side air bags deployed and the truck died. I had it towed in to the dealer I work at and discovered in deed she was struck by lightning 
. It hit the antenna and burnt the tip and we found were it shot out of the left front wheel. Thank God my wife is ok, but the Tahoe isnt.
So far the bill is up to $3000.00 dollars and growing. Good thing it's covered by insurance.Had to borrow a car from my brother for my wife to drive because insurance wont cover a rental car. This is not what we needed right now, w'ere under enough stress with me trying to get my truck up and running and now this to deal with

i seen on real TV one time where a car/truck was struck by lightning. it looked scary as hell. i am glad she's ok. i know how you feel about not needing this crap right now. this kind of thing seems to happen to me all the time. (not the lightning part)
