General Car Talk Discussion Thread
They probably do, or have something like that for situations like these, but my info is coming from pics and word of mouth that the sales side will be closed for a while. Couple other dealerships in the area had to close for Saturday as well. Toyota lost 50 cars, & Subaru reported that they have 400 affected units. There was a video shared of a Gallardo Squadra Corse & a MP4-12C left out in the storm as well. 
Drove by a few of the places and saw a few empty lots & cars with sheets over the windows including a row of Mustangs at a Ford dealership. Chevy dealer here had a white C7 Stingray out facing the intersection that had a sheet over its back window. Looks like the storm caught the worst possible place with all the dealerships on the same stretch of road.

Ouch.. I've been through having my car fucked up with hail... and we've had two storms the past month in this area produce at least baseball size hail.
I check the weather often and if it says chance of hail, I stay home and keep my car garaged.. not taking any risks. I'll cancel plans even. Not worth it.

Nevermind how much the electronics are to repair/replace on a Lamborghini/McLaren...
Depending on how much money you get off the car, (which would still be mechanically perfect) you could bring the car to a shop and have them fix the dents and get a new paint/wrap job for considerably less than buying it new
My buddy said he stopped by the Subaru store today to see what got hit and their sales side was closed until further notice. And the Ford dealer threw all their cars they could sell in the middle of the lot in "As Is" condition. Mixed bag of mostly black vehicles where the damage is pretty noticeable.

But then this 2018 Rebel lookswise is like the 2018 Civic Type-R. Gaudy and likely only to get admiration mainly from prepubescent boys.
Whoa, I remember the 2016 or 2017 Ram Rebel being basically a hardparker's version of a Raptor. But then again most Raptors are hardparked anyway

Also, there's no way anyone would take even a lowered raptor or rebel for an OG lightning.. but hot damn..
A reggo cab small body pickup on a hellcat platform.. shiet.
Might as well make the body a coffin.
2013 rdx
Recently bought this used RDX for my daughter. She recently graduated from college. It came with some cheap Chinese tires. I would not put them on my lawnmower! What do you recommend for this front wheel drive (base) model. I generally like Michelins for the money and quality. im curious what you Acura enthusiast like.
I've always wanted a reggo cab TRD Tundra w/ SC.. I almost bought one 4-5 years ago.. full dynomat in FL..
It was a steal at the time.. something like 25k.
This one:
Has a nice install of the supercharger on the channel too..
