Default DAMN you Mother Nature!!

Just got a huge hail storm here in Scottsdale and the car just got DESTROYED!! UGH!! there is not one panel that hasn't been touched! The Hood is a mess, the roof...forget about it...every quarter panel and door...I am sick to my stomach! My body repair guy is thinking well above 6k in repairs! would post pics but I am sick to my stomach and I wouldn't want any of you all to throw up on your keyboards! ok...I'm done venting!

Wow bro...sorry to hear that...just claim it on insurance if it's that much. You could look at the bright side and repaint the whole car?

I would absolutely take this opportunity to do a custom paint job on the car.

resale value...well that's gotta be out the window now...Custom paint...thought about it but Not sure what I would do. Ugh...just not in a happy place right now to be able to think very clearly...Put my claim in yesterday with Insurance company and they should be getting back to me today. I got a great place ready to do the work.

Saw it for first time this morning with all the rain water dry (was secretly hoping to open garage door and see that it was all a bad dream, not the case) and it was sooooo much worse. Sorry for no pics, but i will try to get some up...so so sad.

I saw the thread title and wondered if you were in AZ. Sorry to hear. Some people had their cars totalled by the hail in Scottsdale. Others had their cars floating away in the flood. Mine was in a garage luckily.
