Default A golf ball hit my car today

So I was pickin up my girl from SFSU and sitting at the stop light conveniently set adjacent a golf course. WHACK!! My sunroof made a pretty loud thud (more of a PRO-V thud than a Top Flight crack) anyhoo, it bounced off the top of my car and then hit the windshield of an oncoming 4-Runner going ~40mph. Couldn't tell what happened to the window but the ball just bounced straight up and into the bushes. Craziness... my sunroof took quite a hit with no visible damage.

You could always go and get one of those fake golf ball stick on thingies and stick it on where the ball hit just for laughs at the shows.
