Default Gotta love hail...

We had a ton of big storms come through yesterday.

My poor Camaro took a big piece of hail to the mirror!

My windshield also got cracked pretty bad. From the inside though?? Kind of weird.

Yea, I thought we would get hit too in Skiatook but the storms parted right as it got to us & we only saw some wind & light rain luckily.

I'm just happy to have my house! I could care less about this mirror. I feel for the other people and wish them the best.

The good thing is this mirror is cheap and I have a good glass policy to replace the windshield.

I have a few dings on the hood, but I'm not too picky about that.

I'm glad my C5 was garaged.

I saw a Camaro several years ago that was apparently in a hail storm. The hood and rear panels were dented everywhere.

The rest of the car was fine.
