Default Hail!!!

so i am at the home depot the other night around nine pm. i am in the store shoping and i hear the rain. it had been raining off and on all day. all of a sudden i hear the rain hitting the roof so loud, i cant hear the guythat worksthere talking to me.[sm=icon_blah.gif] then i hear the ping................ping of hail in between the rain drops. i bolted to the door to save her, but by the time i get there it is hailing nickel size hail like i never seen before. I am in the entry way, the roof is a metal roof, i have to cover my ears its so loud. all the while i am thinking how many dents i am going to have by the time i get to the car when its all over. [sm=insomnia.gif]It finally slows and i run to the car and park it under the roof at the lumber door till the storm passes. I lucked out with only three dent in the hood the rest of the car is fine. man did i luck out on this one. I went to the body shop and its going to cost 687.00 to get it fixed. guess i will have to watch the weather a little more offten.

+1. Should be much less than $687.00.

Every panel on my car got beat up by hail back in March. I'm talking a dozen or more strikes on the hood alone. Paintless dent removal took care of everything. Including the aluminum hood. Perfection!
