I've got a tiny dimple on the hood from a previous hailstorm. The hail started as I was driving home from work. I pulled into a gas station to get under cover, but the wind was blowing so hard that I was still getting pelted during gusts. No damage to the paint, and the dimple is only visible at certain angles so nobody ever notices it (except me of course), so I never even looked into having it fixed.
Man, I'm ripped off, I have two dimples, not from hail, but stoopid acorns! Bah!

Kate and I design and manufacture little games and those damn acorns prompted me to mock up this (not made into a game, just fun graphic):

In a pinch a pop up awning works fairly well.

I used one to protect a visiting buddies Avalanche years back. My garage was full of my cars and I looked around to see my awning sitting there. Popped it up and over his truck. He suffered no damage, every other car outside in the vicinity got hit pretty good.

Or …. A Garage?
Not an option for me. I have a Mustang and my wife's car in the garage. These days it's even less of an option as my truck is way too tall to fit in my garage.

I saw one golf ball sized bit bounce in my back yard. Rushed to the Ranger that had no tree cover.

What to do.. looks down at old Army shit in a bucket I need to do something with......

Fuck it. Protect the glass and the aluminum hood!

Three or 4 generations of cammo and the stupid mat.

And.. as far as I can tell. No damage.

I remember years ago a female friend was looking at a new car in Dallas. The dealer had a new car that was pretty beat up from hail damage. The dealer said he would make her a deal and knock of $2K because of hail damage. She was smart enough to walk away.

I got hit last night while the truck was parked at work.

Hood, roof, and ridge of door under window damage.

Haven't taken pictures yet. Just pulled in the garage and parked it. It should be fixable with PDR.

Aluminum fenders held up better than I expected.

Hope they can get it fixed.

Claim is in. They've got a drive through adjusting spot I've got an appointment for on Monday.

I'll be riding a computer wiping ass at work tonight so I'll hit my bodyshop up in the morning and get an estimate and get on the schedule.

Kind of glad the hail got my windshield too as I don't carry windshield coverage on my policy.

:wink:
