Good Lord...that looks like a range ball. Those pics are hard to look at....I think they disturb me more than seeing pics of a wrecked 8.
I hope they can take care of you, good luck.

Obviously my condolences about your 'CanaryMobile', but it's also sad to hear about your new puppy being ill.... I know he meant the world to you, helped you thru some bad days, hope he gets better!

Up in Bowling Green, KY they had a tornado and thousands of cars got beat up. A lot of new cars were just discounted deep and sold to folks as is for TONS off of new price. Used to see some of them around here that folks purchased there cheap - looked like a golf ball.
If the car is like mine - a lot of panels damaged a lots of dents - but not covered up then a good paintless dent shop can fix it. If it is like some of the BG cars I saw - almost no non-dented metal on the top of the car at all, then I don't think so.
I also don't know how well this works with aluminum, either....

OMG!! I actually cried while looking at the pix of your 8!!! Brutal!! As you know hail storms in Texas are very common. I'm confident the car is fixable. No bondo. There are places that specialize in hail damage dents. It's paintless dent removal. It won't be cheap!! But hey, that's why we all pay too much for car insurance.
Good luck and keep your chin up!!

thanks all for the kind words and advice, as is always the case, a lot of folks on this forum make it worth contributing too, have a happy easter all and I'll keep you posted on what happens with everything. (I'm actually looking at new cars as we speak, I think I've narrowed it down to another 8 in white, or maybe the z in their version of yellow, the only reason I'm even considering the z is I don't know how hard it would be to drive the white one and not be coonstantly reminded of the one I have now, maybe I'm over thinking it lol)
