I will say a prayer for you. I thank God that he provided me with a garage for my baby to stay in.

I work north of the airport at Sir Walter Chevy...live in Cary. My car was in it for the whole time and drove home in it. Got it parked in the garage and scraped off the water. Didn't look like any damage. Hail wasn't too big. I think you'll be ok

sorry to hear about that ws6, you should move to Texas. That is almost non existent here, as well as anything relatively cold. Not to mention us texas guys own this entire board!!


I hope your car is fine, and by the other comments, it should be!

Hail sucks. I still have some hail damage from a storm a couple years
ago. I've been too tight on funds to do anything about it

'll explain a little. I purchased a new home almost 2 years ago with a 2 car garage and my car is able to be parked inside instead of sitting out in the elements. So having said that, I do thank God for everything I have. family, friends, job, Ect,ect.

He said "word," not "weird."

"Word" being the slang for: "I agree with what you said good sir. Excellent point my good man."

That's odd. My car is at Diversified Performance in Cary/Apex and it didn't seem to hail on my car. I looked and looked - nothing. My buddy told me that north Raleigh got hail, so I called Diversified and had them pull the car in. Not sure if they did or not, but no dings.

I guess the hail was really spotty. Hail in north Raleigh and Cary, but apparently none in Apex, and none where I live in south Raleigh.

Anyways, sorry that your car got hit - hope it wasn't too bad.

Oh, and what car show are you heading off to? I know that Piedmont is having something big Sat. Didn't know if that was what you were going to.

ws6 - call your insurance co - if you have damage
- do you have comp coverage ??
If you dont you are SOL.

Seek out a good PDR vendor.
DentSmart is excellent.
Dent Wizards are also very good.

They can save your OEM panel if the hail is not too big - If it is real big - it can crack the paint - typically on body edges. or damage it beyond repair
