It is, i can imagine is painfull none the less to watch it get ruined by hail and not be able to do much about it. And most if not all insurance companies wont really pay you for any costmetic aftermarket mods that get damaged during a hail storm (if that was the case)

That's my car. There is an entire ~5-6 page thread about it on here somewhere, and that video is going to be on The Discovery Channel soon. The car is fine now, insurance took care of everything. Pics in my sig/garage. Total was around $15,000 in damage to this car, and $16,000 to the Challenger.
And yes, my "priorities" are all wrong. I DEFINITELY should have risked my life to run out into softball-sized hail falling at terminal velocity to pull my car into the garage. Sigh.

Damnnnn I'm sorry to hear, I ran across the video on youtube and pictured it happening to me in my head. Sucks when shit like that happens that you cant control and you're there to see it happen..but I'm glad it all worked out good for you and I don't blame you for not going out there because if hail can do that to a car u wouldn't like to get caught in it. On the brightside your car will be featured on tv, not everyday your bimmer makes it to nat geo |

No one here really knows what they'll do until it happens.
Fuckin hailstorms come out of nowhere sometimes. Life first, car second. I see nothing wrong with her priorities |

I had the same thing happen about 2 years ago to my 2009 F150. Was so sad to watch my baby get the crap beat out of her. That being said she was traded for the 335 so I don't think I got a bad deal.

The wife has a Suburban so there was no need for me to have a truck anymore. That and I missed having a BMW since I left Germany in 2003. I had a German spec 1987 M3 there and loved it.
