so my sister had to get new tires for her truck today and we need to take two cars to the shop so i could give my mom a ride home form the shop.
well it was going pretty good till it started raining, then pouring, then small pieces of hail i got my car somewhat under a tree to try and stop the hail, but that is when it picked up. golfball sized hail started falling ad this is what happened...

3 out of 4 of my familys cars got messed up

sorry the pics are kinda bad, but my car looks like shit now

















size of the hail...


but i should be thankfull, we saw soooooooooooooooooo many cars with busted windows i lost count after the first 15
here are pics of some cars that were not so lucky

car i was parked next too... if i didnt move my car my back window would have probably looked like this


and an rsx

 

ahhhh my worst nightmare.

 

hollyyyyy shit! im sorry to see that.. wondering if you have hail insurance.. that would be nice.. but god damn, thats like softball size. im sorry to see this, i hope it all works out in the end.

 

jeez
sorry, that sucks!

 

Gotdamnnn thats horrible! HAIL ?! I thought it was spring already!

 

insurance will be paying for most of it, but im so pissed right now
my dads car looks like shit too he has bigger dents than me, we went through a parking lot and there were about 12 cars with the back back windows, side windows, windsheids completly smashed......today sucked

 

Holy shit.. you're car was like a tank compared to those other ones though! crazy shit.

 

good lord carson, im sorry that happened, especially to a car as nice as yours. that RSX's window is fucked up!

 

and i was sitting in my car when it was going down, it sounded like people were outside banging my car with baseball bats i thought my windows were going to shatter any second

 

pics of my dads mini cooper

 

I should get some pics of my rental, it got wailed on, there was a tl that I saw on the way home without a back window, several other vehicles (including a REALLY nice bmw) with cracked and/or shattered windows as well. I was in the office when it started and it sounded terrifying, weirdest part was all the tree guts all over the place once it finished....yikes.

 

Ok you CAN fix some of these. First do you have insurance you can claim it on? Second take a heat gun and a can of airduster. Heat up the metal where the dent is until it is good and hot. Dont get to close or you will blister the paint. Once it is hot, hit it immed. with a shot of airduster. The quick blast of cold compressed air will cause the molecules in the metal to shrink and pull tight, thus popping out the dent. It will work for some, but not all. Goodluck man.

 

wow, that looks horrible carson.
We had a hailstorm a while back and my car was no where near what yours looks like. And to be inside the car when that was happening woulda scared the shit out of me.
Glad to hear none of your windows got busted or you got hurt at all.

and your insurance is gonna fix all that? have you had an estimate done for the repairs.... because it looks like it's gonna cost a shitload of money..
good luck

 

this happened aroung 4 so i couldnt get a claim yet... plus there are like 10,000 other people trying to get claims too so it might be a while before its fixed

when i was in my car i had to cover my ears it was so loud
FML

 

wow what size hail do u have fallin over down San Ant. thats just plain out REDONKULOUS! i feel ur pain tho...i parked under a walnut tree once at a park....damn...i left her there for 4 hours came back...i had the same situation u have on the hood...

 

this is by a golf course.. golfers might have trouble finding there balls

 

^ lmao

 

man CK, i still can't get over these pics!! that hail is insane!! especially the cars where the hail just went right through!! and you and your dads poor cars with all those dents!! hope you're able to do some sort of claim, good luck with the process! again, insane man, insane..

 

holy shit that sucks. i kind of wish it would hail that big here just so i can see what its like. with my car inside of course. =)

 

thats a fml story right there. damn man that suckssss!

 

ill post up videos from the news when some are posted up it.

it was crazy it looked like snow, but loud as hell

 

the only benifit out of this is i might get the car repainted :/

 

Man... What was left of that storm came through here... And I was out on the freeway but luckily it was just wind and rain. Looking at the pics and depending on your insurance company, I'd guess they'll probably estimate the damage at around 2500-3000, minus your deductible.

 

Man, I'm sorry to hear that. That hail looks crazy. I've never seen anything like that.

 

We didn't even get rain.

God Carson, I am so sorry to hear about that. Looks worse than I thought when you texted me. Just think about fresh Inza Red Pearl.

 

dude just use, hair dryer and air duster. apply hair dryer to the dented areas and then use the air duster (upside down) on the dents...stand back and watch them pop out...but it can damage ur paint...

 

holy fawk, so sorry about your car. Man down!

I can't believe those rear windshields, I've seen crazy hail but nothing like that

 

ya i dont want to damage my paint any. ill tell you what its a good time to own a body shop here in austin at this time, all body shops are gonna be flooded with cars next month

o ya and this happened just at the right time... 4 days before the Big as Texas Meet, my car will look like crap there

 

Oh my gosh, Im sorry bro, always been a fan of your car (still am) sorry to see that.

 

man thats some serious damage.
it'll be cheaper to replace the hood and trunk. pretty much every thing else can be PDR'd

 

cough carbon fiber cough

 

holy shitty!!! wow omg! crazy shit dude!! sorry bro

thank god we dont have crazy weather like that here

 

YES! someone mentioned the CF hood! we have a winner

 

No way man, your car is still hot. Can't do anything about the weather. I'm sure there will be other cars with hail dammage too. Either way, shit happens. You'll probably get it fixed before I get a freaking drop!

 

meh not really a fan of the cf hood. i like it but not on my car. makes it look too "ricey". but ive seen alot of members pull it off on here, but i dont want one

 

Carson...I feel your pain buddy. My car is damaged as well but I think you got it worse than I did. I share the hail pain. You have a nice car and you need to defenitley get it fixed!

 

jesus.

 

It was insane seeing people back windows and side windows shattered.

 

So which lucky car was the one in the garage?

 

^my moms dirty POS suburban... all of the nice cars got ruined


i stopped counting after about 20 cars. ive never seen anything like that in my life
