Default Aw Hail!

Tornado time in Tennessee. My egg now looks like a golf ball. Don't know if the mirror cover will pop back on, but the tow hook cover should. Didn't even make it to the 1st oil change! In the big sceme of things, I'm lucky. Any body else got storm damage? I hope everyone is safe.

It busted out the rear window of my wife's Honda.

I live in Tucson, what's hail? J/K

Sorry about the damage, but I think you did get out lucky in comparison to many (including your wife, who doesn't have the fortune of owning a hatchback).

Well, its clear which manufacturer uses the thinnest sheet metal!! My top looks like the moon! Very minor damage to the Honda's sheetmetal. There is a Saturn parked next to the Honda with almost 0 sheet metal damage.

invest in car cover but use the cloth type.

The saturn will have the least amount of damage because most of it is plastic ..

Yes, Cali would do. Earthquakes, floods, landslides, fires, liberals, etc.

Actually, a little car damage is nothing compared to so many people who lost everything, including their lives. Sometimes I'm so self-centered I tend to forget to count my blessings. I may not even have it repaired. I'm not big on washing cars so the dents will just fill up with dirt and then they won't even be noticable!
