[doug]

There's a severe thunderstorm/large hail warning for our area again.. everyone hide!

[[sr20]sean]

whats with PA and hail? its pouring like hell over here no hail though

[ozthunder]

lol...counties/times?

[Roadkilled75]

Sweet. [/sarcasm] I still have two golfball-sized chunks in the freezer from last time. Luckily my cars are either garaged or pieces of ****.

[Erik]

hail would do my ride good.

[JKrome]

Damnit My Dads Not Home To Cover My Car !!!! Fuuck !!!

[coleycole]

Being that the last 3 times hail has been in the forecast nothing happened, I'm not to worried.

[sleepersatty99]

ok here is a crazy question... but dosent insurance cover damage from hail?

[LilSubiedrvr]

Yesh insurance should cover it. *weeps a little* doesn't change the fact that I am stuck at work and have to worry about my car out there when I know I have a garage at home that its safe in :cry:

My thoughts exactly. :eek:

[Renegade_]

No worries here... All the damage it does just justifies me buying a new shell...

[speifer]

There currently aren't any severe thunderstorm warnings for our area, and the radar looks pretty clear for eastern PA at the moment, so I wouldn't worry about it. National Weather Service issued a message saying there is a possibility for severe weather in our area, but they haven't even issued a severe storm watch area.

At least you guys have steel (or fabric for convertibles) roofs and hoods...

[doug]

I saw it on channel 120 for our area it said severe t-storms/large hail warning in effect til tonight before I was about to walk out the door, so I threw a thread up for common courtesy. Sarcasm appreciated.

Not sure if you are referring to me, but I'm sorry if I sounded sarcastic; I didn't mean to be. I was just clarifying; news anchors mix up watches and warnings all the time. A "warning" from the National Weather Service means that the threat is imminent, as in, the storm is already showing up on radar so run and hide! "Watches" means that there is a possibility severe weather will develop in the given time frame.

nah.. not you. no big. whether it was a watch or warning, it was all over the weather channel on tv and on the website. clear skies here now, so whatever.. I guess it blew over?

[ozthunder]

Yea I hate warnings though. I always get scared to ****.

[turbo4g63]

It looks pretty nice out..i'm not worried

[zerioustt]

please stay on topic from now on...

[doug]

From what I saw on the news during dinner, there's some storms rolling in from Virginia and Pittsburgh that could carry hail.

[ozthunder]

Yea, they are still calling for storms later too.

Living in a heavily wooded area = BLOWS

You guys are lucky, weather goes around me over here.

(and STi/WRX hoods are aluminium too:thumbup:)

[NOPSTNS]

somebody implied that insurance covers it so its not a big deal, and ur right. but last years storm straight up ruined my entire car and tho the ins is happy to pay for it, u are still liable for ur deductible....and my deductible was more than i could afford for that particular moment. work had been slow and i just didnt have the extra $. the damage was, i think , about 3 grand in PDR....and for PDr thats a lot of work to run a 3k bill....so for ppl who hear hail and freak out, its for a just reason, i understand their fears.....


(and STi/WRX hoods are aluminium too:thumbup:)

as are the hoods on rx8s....and the rear doors....and i judging by the roof, i think thats also aluminum...


point being, hail sux......i hope u guys didnt get hail, did the storm pass yet?

[DPancoast]

speak for yourself up there...... I have glass t-tops lol

[DPancoast]

holy wind and out of no where rain batman

[Erik]

yea for real. i see lightning too

[Renegade_]

holy wind and out of no where rain batman
I was driving back from my GFs house not realizing the roads were slick and I go around a turn and before I know it I am sideways sliding into the road with 1/4 throttle because the road was so slick... At least I got to have some fun before I got back home...

[DPancoast]

yeah man, I was tempted to go out in the deuce to slide around a little, but then I remembered that I'm being good and saving parts on my car and not breaking them lol

[99SL2_Modder]

Aww hail naw, man!

[Renegade_]

yeah man, I was tempted to go out in the deuce to slide around a little, but then I remembered that I'm being good and saving parts on my car and not breaking them lol
I got a pleasant surprise on the way home that I broke loose in fourth on the highway :eek: After I hit a bump. I like RWD but goddamn, when third gear breaks loose in the rain at will, I dunno... AWD seems kinda nice...

[DPancoast]

haha yeah, I have that issue as well. If it's SUPER wet out on the highway, my car will walk no matter what suspension or tires I have in quick successive bumps.

Traitor :-p nah seriously tho, It was windy like wholy hell here but little rain.. it bypassed us

[ozthunder]

I'm glad my car was at my gf's during the little gail; there was a big ass branch on my parking spot here at home :(

[speifer]

Yay, no hail last night in Bethlehem, just really strong wind.



(and STi/WRX hoods are aluminium too:thumbup:)

Correct.


as are the hoods on rx8s....and the rear doors....and i judging by the roof, i think thats also aluminum...


You are right about the hoods and doors. The rest of the body is steel except for plastic bumpers.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the Evo (MR & RS) is the only production vehicle with an aluminum roof. I know the M3 has a carbon fiber roof, freakin sweet!

[ozthunder]

You wouldn't think various Ferrari's/Exotics have aluminum roofs?

[speifer]

I think that most exotics would have carbon fiber roofs. Maybe some convertible hard tops are aluminum, but I'm talking about non-convertibles.

Sorry I brought this thread off topic, but considering the section it's in, I guess thats ok, lol.

[mrchariybrown]

no hail here, but it was so windy last night.. a bucket was flying towards my car, but my friend did a little soccer goalie slide to knock it out of the way

[pearl]

hail the king
