THE Mook Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) There are no scratches on the outside of this car, but the vehicle is totaled! A man in Waterton Park , (south of Calgary ), came out to find the inside of his 18 month old Toyota Sequoia trashed. A grizzly bear had somehow got a door open. Once inside it got trapped when the door shut behind him, probably by the wind. The Toyota was the Platinum edition, all the door panels were ripped off, the head-liner torn to pieces, all headrests, the leather seats, the dash shredded. The steering column was twisted Sideways. Two of the six airbags went off, the other four the bear ripped to pieces. You can imagine a trapped grizzly being hit with an airbag in an enclosed space ! He must have figured he was in for the fight of his life, and by the looks of this car,he won the fight. When the bear ripped off the door panels he also clawed all the wiring harnesses out. Toyota figures every wire he pulled or clawed at resulted in alarm bells, voices or sparks. The head mechanic at Calgary Toyota doubted if they had the expertise to put this vehicle back together, even if they had enough parts to do it. And, to add insult to injury, the bear took a big Dump in the back of the SUV . . . and then broke out the rear window. Fish and wildlife officers have inspected the damage and figure it was a 3 year old Grizzly. The vehicle has been written off by the insurance company. The cost of this fully optioned vehicle new was over $70,000, and they stopped counting the repair costs at $60,000 plus.

Tim Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Crazy. But this does answer a question. A Sequoia is also a tree, right? So, if someone asks if a bear craps in the woods..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redbeard Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 The most shocking aspect of this is that someone spent $70k on a Toyota Seqouia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormChaser Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Love it!!!! I saw this all the time in Alaska. People leave some food or something in the vehicle and there you go, it's attracting bears. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwag one Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Love it!!!! I saw this all the time in Alaska. People leave some food I bet the guy just had some Adam's Detail Spray in there or just got done detailing the car. I blame Adam for this, is that why Adams products smell so good?? Maybe why the headquarters was moved to Colorado...so everyone can claim bear damage and get a new car??? joking of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
