Default Hail In Manteno!!! Golf Ball To Tennis Ball Size

I was hitting the gym and when i get home my dad is like i got some bad news look at the ground...holy **** there was huge ice ***** every where...

well needless to say the garage was full with the boat, my dads racecar, and my moms new cadillac CTS...he tried pulling it in as much as he could but it got 2 decent hood dings, a 1 ft cracked winshield, and 5 or 6 rear fender dings on the top...why couldnt gm make this whole car out of plactic like the doors, front fenders, front and rear bumpers...

Oh well looks like it is back to the paint shop or dentless removal...good thing i got comprehensive insurance...

That sucks Chris. With your theory of making the car out of plastic I guess the windows should have been made of lexan to. Hope it comes out alright. Vince

Thankfully my mom pulled my car in the garage. I was in Bradley and I hear it was gonna hail so I was freaking out. My buddy saved some in his freezer and after they had melted a little...they were still golfball sized.


Ch2 news was out here taping it. At the skatepark down the street from my house.
