lmao! That was the worst ever. That late night run. haha. Running the gap @ 1am in a torrential down pour. haha.

Don, I was at Leo's shop today and it started to hail.. Luckily it was kind of a small hail and I don't think any damage occurred.. But it freaked me out, especially in my newly acquired car.. I guess I'll find out for sure tomorrow when I take the layer of pollen off and see if it in fact did any damage..

Hope all will work out for you and hope you get a brand new paint job!

Man I hope I don't hit none of that crap when I head out there!!!

I usually don't see hail.. First time in about 4-5 years.

Well, my STi got some hail damage last night, just the hood though as its the only thing thats aluminum. Its gonna be fun finding one or I guess Ill just get a carbon fiber one.

Am I the only one who uses their garage to protect their car?!?!?!?!

I can't believe all the damage you guys incurred, and the tornado was 2 miles from my house!!!!

The 3, the Jeep and the 626 all survived in the hail. The FC and the Miata were garaged.

HDP · 04-11-2009, 04:00 PM

I don't really have a choice. Here's a few pics I just took.

RIZZXX7 · 04-11-2009, 04:17 PM

damn!!!

Max777 · 04-11-2009, 06:27 PM

dude, just go wingless, or get the '99 spec, it looks oh so sexy.

As far as dings go btw, you guys got nothing compared to my car, lmao.

PS: I'm taking a hobbyist autobody course at my local college during the summer in order to try to get the car to look half way decent again, right now I'm thinking pearly white, but I might just swirl up another batch of the factory "Brave Blue" and lay down some flake, and massive polishing to make it shiny.

***Herblenny*** · 04-11-2009, 07:14 PM

WOW Don, That's some serious hail damage! How big were those hails? I checked my car today and nothing.. Sorry to see the damage

***ZGN*** · 04-11-2009, 08:08 PM

My gosh, If one of those would have hit you in the head...

ROTORX7Holly · 04-11-2009, 09:00 PM

Damn Don that really sucks. At least a car can be repaired. I knew another rotorhead whose car was damaged by hail. Before he had it repaired, he just said it was "textured for her pleasure".
