We have had nothing but severe weather here in Colorado since I picked up my car. hail,tornado's. The guy who said you need a garage......well that's fine if your sitting in your drive way but hopefully if you have this car your not having it sit in a garage! Luckily I've been able to avoid it, but it's ther luck of the draw!

This was a once in a life time event. In all 32 years of my life, I've NEVER seen a true hailstorm. I thought it was truly End of Days. :(

My Dad is from Ohio until he moved to TExas and had never seen a REAL thunderstorm or a Hailstorm. we get all of that kind of stuff every spring and summer here.
You are very lucky man...but im happy for you.

keep this in mind when it is a Very warm day outside and a rain storm/shower blows in which means cooler weather always expect hail !!!!! imgaine 98degree's outside and a storm blowing in.......happened 3 times last week for us .

now you see why they say like a rock lol they are as tough as a rock hahahahaha.

Global warming at its best

Any news on the paint? did it withstand the hail?

Revo1 · 06-16-2009, 12:17 PM

NOOOOOOO! Dude, where were you parked? I'd have that thing parked halfway in my front door if that was the closest spot to me all night LOL I can't imagine any worse weather to have your car out in- that water definitely crept up to the pan... How nightmarish

khislop007 · 06-16-2009, 12:24 PM

Dam that sucks! I feel your pain because I have to worry about hurricanes :(

Revo1 · 06-16-2009, 12:33 PM

It looks like an avalanche of 7-11 Slushie...

JewelZ · 06-16-2009, 12:40 PM

hope all is well

DDustiNN · 06-16-2009, 12:50 PM

Wow that is INSANE!! I don't know how I would react to that situation! I definitely wouldn't have thought to whip out a video recorder, haha... Glad you were able to stay calm. And it's good to hear that there was no damage!

RocketCutlass · 06-16-2009, 12:57 PM

Anyone else think it sounded like the car was idling with a rediculous cam in it LOL? I watched it on my iPhone and that's just what went through my mind LOL. Glad it's ok though.

Dude that sucks. I guess you should've opted for the $400 factory car cover.
