hail

i did have a beautiful red 09. the hail came in and now have a beat up old looking red 09. the hood, the boot, roof and the body all have big dents. i knew i loved my 8 but i never responded to a car like this one. the house is beat up also but i grieve over by 8. i live in Oklahoma city, the tornado missed us but the hail got us big time.

yes i have insurance but that will not cover the whole cost. but what really got me was the emotional response i had over seeing my 8 beat to hell.

Should be a comprehensive claim and what ever that deductible is.

Sorry about your car getting abused by mother nature. She can be a real bitch sometimes.

I feel for you my friend, My 8 got beat to hell on Sunday too. I was over at penn square mall. My hood and driver side look like swiss cheese it busted my side view and my taillight. There is nothing like softballs coming out of the sky at you. Me and my insurance adjuster have an apointment tomorrow morning I'll let you know the damage after that goes down. I know he is going to want to Paintless Dent Repair the whole thing and I'm not sure it will work with as many curves and creases that this car has in it. Anyone ever had the PDR done on an 8?

Yeah that looks about right except for looking at a pool I was looking at my 8 and my gf's new equinox in the driveway getting destroyed.

Edit: Interesting I did not make that a hyperlink, the forum must want to sell some chevy's.

yes i was that bad and i was watching my car get hit when that video was taken. the cost of repairs is about $8000 . it has taken this long to get the adjuster out. by the way the roof is totaled as are the back windows.
