weather

Let me just say that it hailed today the size of golf ***** and when I came outside from work there was hardly even a scratch on my Camaro, no dents or anything. Yet about a block away my friends tiburon got covered in dents, does mother nature just respects camaros or are they just built better?

Re: weather

Having dime sized hail here right now, not worried so much about it as all the branches flying out of the trees.

Re: weather

We had a good hail storm here last summer with some hailstones about an inch across and my car only got some dents on the hood

I marked it up to the fact that most of the body panels are plastic or fibreglass and a little luck . . . my truck however got some fair size dents in the roof and hood
