Dang.....just got pelted with some hail ! I hope my Corolla sitting out on the street is ok. I will be checking for damage in the AM. It looks like all hell broke loose in the backyard....Shrapnel everywhere ! leaves & debris scatterred all over the yard. Dang....and I just mowed & cleaned up the whole yard. Now it looks like all hell broke loose.

^ If there's one thing I don't miss about TX, it's the hail. Chris, them things are huge. I wouldn't want to get hit by one of those. Hope your rides are OK.

The 300 and the nismo took a beating, hopefully the AM will show to damage. Otherwise I am ripping out all of the useless junk in our 3 car garage that can't have one single car in there.

So far it looks like I got lucky. I didn't see any damage on my car yet. I went outside and threw a car cover on it knowing it wouldn't do much but figured it was better than nothing. My z was outside since my friends 240 is in my garage being rebuilt.

Supra took a beating. I'll look for dents tomorrow, but it needs new paint/body work anyways. I took the Z to the shop and sat through the storm.

My girl sat dry and safe in the garage, my corolla was pulled up right to the garage door and seems to have had shelter from the house, ill k.ow in the am , but my daughters old corolla didn't fair so well. No dents but the hail here was big and jagged and looks like it chipped the hell out of the paint on the hood and roof....and I'm tying to.sell it....only min PL/PD ins on it.

I read an article on Impacts and Bosch has a really good one ! As does Milwaukee, and DeWalt. Some of the other Brands over heated easily.

But you gotta pay some coin for them.

Garages were meant for cars/trucks/motorcycles. Everyday I walk the dog and see cars in the driveways and open garages full of boxes. I dont get it, other than some Christmas stuff (in attick) I don't keep cr@p in boxes. If it has to be in a box, then I dont need it. My garage has my car, wife's car, my motorcycle, my tools, and misc car detailing stuff in shelves.

Lawn mower, and landscaping equipment go in the shed in back yard.

Hope your rides were ok

Our garage is like that show hoarders. It's mind blowing that my mom can't get rid of choo choo train sets that have been there for 18 years now. She thinks my little brothers ( 9 and 10 ) will play with them....
