Is right, man that wouldn't be something I'd want to wake up to.

They must have been drinking crazy. I bet they downed a whole beer and a half.

You have got to be s#!tt!ng me! Do any of you know what most roofs are constructed of?
From the inside, there are 2 x 6 or 2 x 8 joists(trusses) up there, covered by at least 1/2" plywood, if not 5/8", plus tar paper and shingles.

The trusses are usually spaced 16 inches apart, not that much space in between.

That fella must have been moving at warp speed to puncture that roof!
(Gives new meaning to the term "going through the roof")

Not meaning to be too picky but most roof construction is a 2x4 top chord 24" OC and 7/16ths sheathing. Something like a door or another heavy car part had to make the hole for him. Maybe?

Hmmm, not too shabby there willie, I hadn't thought of the door aor some other heavy part of the vehicle preceeding the body.

Karma on it's way
