I just looked out the window 5 minutes ago to see some nice skittle sized hail--

those with aluminum hoods beware, I don't think the hail was big enough to damage steel panels but who knows.

My WRX hood got seriously messed up a couple years ago from hail-- not just the hood either, fenders-- you name it. It was a PITA.

i havent been out to check my car yet, but it just started pouring again with hail, maybe a new cf hood out of it and my fenders have lil dents in it so maybe i could get money for that haha

what kind of insurance do you have? It isn't as easy to score a new hood as you may think. AllState paid for the paintless dent removal but wouldn't spring for a 'new' hood as much as I tried.

Damn it was bad. going down the PA Turnpike, I could barley see 10 feet infront of my hood. I had to pull over, and sit on the side of the road. 20 minutes later, I had to put my hazards on and do 40 on the TP. :eek:

Nothing here in Lincoln University. However, it did start to drizzle right when I had my carburetor nice and open:mad:.
