SP33d meets hail.

[paylew]

ruined.
I easily have 200+ golf ball size dents on the roof, hood, drivers doors, drivers fender, spoiler, and my spoiler extension is cracked and has spider cracks all over it. Oh, and my headlights are cracked. We had a freak hail storm at work tonight, it sounded like God was throwing buckets of golf balls on the roof. When I went out on my break to look at the car, and didn't notice more then a couple of dents which I can live with. The car was covered in rain, so I didn't notice anything bad until I got home. I have full coverage so that shouldn't be a problem, taking it to a buddy's shop tomorrow to have him take a look at it. ugh, FML.

Pics please...

[paylew]

working on it, we don't have street lights or a garage.

[fishdonotbounce]

Oh noes. Sorry to hear about that. At least you have the insurance to cover it so you'll be ok. It still sucks though. Keep us updated!

[Nismothecat]

damn, that sucks. i would be so pissed. but i guess there really is nothing you could have done. hope it gets fixed as good as new.

Oh, I am. I was all excited because my front mount came in, and this just stole my sunshine. I was probably the only girl at work that even cared, I heard the hail and was just like "omg, my car..."

--EDiT;; These are the only pictures that you can really see anything an, I'll be getting more tomorrow.

Ouch!! Good luck with that.

[jazzman]

Hail is definitely my nightmare. Nightmare...

[BillTheCat]

Ouch, ouch, ouch... very sorry to hear & see that. Hail is pure evil.

[Tyrdstorm]

I feel for you. When it looks like bad weather I won't drive my car, I make my wife drive. :) I've had two cars hit with hail now and I'm afraid I attract it like a magnet or something.

[CWPspeed3]

Wow, sorry to hear that. Those pictures make me cringe thinking about the rest of the car.

[LaraS]

Oh that is horrible!! Your poor car. :(

[sanblaster]

wow. Sorry to hear.

[GoFast]

wow. that really sucks! Make sure you keep us updated!

[eg6motion]

Sad story. I hate hail, makes me cringe. Luckily I work at home now and can usually keep the car in the garage. I hope they get it back to 100% for you soon.

[Saskatchewan17]

Fuckin hail.

[Sport6]

Yeah really sorry to hear that... My wife's hood has some hail damage from last year. I am always afraid of the hail. We just had it over the weekend but luckily my car was in the cover of a thick tree and my house and they weren't any where near golf balls size..

[mazdaspeedster3]

A lot worse than I had imagined. I would totally be in tears!

[Hank3]

Man, what a huge bummer and a pain to have to go through all this. Hope all goes smoothly with the insurance company and body shop.

I fear this because I'm in FL and I missed a hail storm by a few minutes a month ago. Can a body shop make all of the dents go away and look like new? I heard golf ball sized hail are the ones that do damage, not the little pellet sized ones. Not that I want to find out, cause I would cringe if any hail was falling on my car.

[ScratchNSniff]

Those pics deffinitely don't look good...

[BlueWagon]

I feel your pain, hope you get her fixed up lookin like new.

[Blendercloud]

We have a Speed6 guy from Arkansas who is deployed right now that was just told by his parents that his car got smashed up this week by hail, too. I wish you both the best with your insurance companies.

[irnbru83]

My condolences.

[Captain KRM P5]

horrible, sorry to see

[MaikuMS3]

thats gonna cost a fortune to fix :(

[Peter B]

I think hail counts as an "act of god" and will be covered by your insurance company without raising your rates.

I am sorry to hear and see what happened to your car. I can't imagine what would happen to anyone unlucky enough to get caught in that with no shelter.

[HOBDisease]

Damn, I'm sorry to hear that. Hope they fix it as good as new.

Oh, it will be. I called them and they were like "well your deductible is $1250 so go get an estimate on how much it would cost first... It might not be that much." I was like, lady look... I want my car back to factory spec without a single dent left, it's going to cost A LOT more then that. She just shook her head and was like, well call me when you get three estimates. I'm going to one shop right now, Mazda said they can't handle this type of damage.

Damnnnnn well that stinks. Maybe after this is all cleared up and you can afford it, you should look into a lower deductible..

[chief_wiggum]

weeping...weeping.

Didn't even know my deductible was that high, I'm under my grandparents insurance plan. Apparently, he is a cheap ass.

[madvillian]

I had a 97 Probe GT for six months and made four notes when a hail storm destroyed it. It came to $9,300 to repair and since it was new the insurance compay fixed it. Every panel had to be replaced along with the lights, tails front and rear glass and water damage. Your car doesn't look near as bad as mine did.

Don't settle for anything less than full replacement panels.

[mp3-79bronco]

now you can two tone it lol

[MS3MB]

wow man that sucks. Im now going to find protection under something when it starts hailing

I'm not, I know the guy that is doing all the work. It will be better then brand new, or I won't take it back.

[08cosmic3]

Good for you. Will we see you at EECMM10?

[paylew]

Yeah, I'll be there. I'm voting for somewhere on the beach!
