Default Oh god the hail hurts

We just got slammed. I had my car outside for 2 weeks while we had garage sale stuff set-up. What bad timing.

I was at Alamo Drafthouse on S. Lamar this evening, no dents luckily. There was hail at my folks house in SW Austin though. I just got clearbra on my front bumper today....maybe I should do the whole car. LOL.

Hail is the least of my worries....thanks to the garage....I went back home to Fort Hood and someone decided to mark on the back of the Z with a pen or pencil.....ba$tards......oh what I would give to have caught them in the act. Luckily the mark wiped off with a little rubbing compound, but the line is still somewhat visible.

I think Leander took a large hit. My Oak in the front looks naked as the hail pretty much knocked off a lot of new growth.

crap, sorry to hear. And so new too! Well, at least you can get the fender and hood repainted! =)

This is like one of those stories where someone you know passes away just after you've seen them. I just saw your car 2 weeks ago =(

Hood, Roof, Hatch, Passernger door, both front fenders and maybe a rear replaced. I took so many shots, and some are on bends and curves. I doubt they can be worked out.

My wifes G35 coupe got hit with hail last year. Took it to Jeff's on N. Lamar. and they did about $2k worth of PDR. Came out great and didn't have to paint. You'd be surprised were the can remove dents.
