Friggin' HAIL DAMAGE !!!

I'm so pissed. Its hailed 3 times in the last 3 weeks here. The first 2 times, I was lucky enough to miss them... but last weekend, it caught up w/ me. By the time I went out to move the car, it was already too late.

its not "that bad"... but its bad enough to have done $2100 worth of damage.

Good thing for badass body shops, and Paintless Dent Repair though.

Man... it hailed like twice here in the past week. I picked up my ride this Tuesday as well. I was lucky that it was in the garage as i saw hail piling up in my driveway for a few minutes. Scared the bejesus out of me.

Sorry about the damage. Hope when it gets fixed it's just like new.

Bought an Accord EX in 1995 - hail storm the following week. $9600 worth of damage. Had 635 miles on the odo. This happened in Dallas.

a little bigger than pea size... and yes, insurance covers it. And the best part of it all, doesn't raise your rates either because its considered an "act of God".

Hmm... seems the hotter the climate is, the more frequent the hail. Oh man...
But then up north, people have to deal with gravel and thigns like that because some cities spread gravel over the roads when they ive over. Once the snow and ice melts, it's "pit city" for windshields and hoods.
