If you came out of those storms today with just that hail damage, you were lucky! I've been watching the WX Channel and the news and it was NASTY down there!
Good Luck getting it fixed!
Dang man, that sucks.
My car got hailed on pretty badly last Saturday night. Out of nowhere, this one little bitty storm came through. We had 1"+ sized hail for about 30 seconds, and then .5" sized for about 3 minutes. Wound up with several inches of hail on the ground.
I haven't cleaned my car since then, and it's filth could be hiding something, but so far, it looks like it came out alright. Although I was slightly hoping there would be a little damage, as I want to get the hood and spoiler painted anyway.
That sucks man, I hope the insurance guys can help you out. It hailed at the college today for a good amount of time, I was freaking out about my car but I was lucky and I didn't find any damage to the car yet...
Btw didnt you just lower your car and get rims for it so why you selling it??
Haha I was waiting for someone to bring that up. Yes you are correct. I sort of had a realization that if I'm going to continue dumping money into a car, I might as well be dumping it into the one that I really want. Don't get me wrong, I love this car to death, but I spend like 5 out of 7 days looking and dreaming about owning a classic mustang again. My first car was a '66, and I regret ever selling it, even though it was just a I6, it was a great car.
By the way, I finally just got a good look at my car without water all over it and in the bright daylight...hail damage on both fenders, quarter panels, and some on the sail panels as well as what I posted above. We'll see what happens when the insurance guy takes a look over it. Guess if it requires a new paintjob I might have to end up keeping it!
I disagree. Get it all fixed. There's nothing more ghetto than getting an insurance claim and spending the money on beer instead of fixing the car.
In my experience, body shops often do extra minor work as long as the bill is being covered by an insurance company. Not saying they'll repaint a door, but they'll fix any damage that exists on panels they are fixing anyway. 'Course, that's the body shop I went to for an estimate in the first place, so YMMV
But don't ghetto it by just fixing the windshield and letting the rest rot dented and broken. You'll sell your POS for $1500 in a few years and be lucky to get that if you do.
And what is with renting in Austin that would be condos in every other city in America? Buy a place, man. Even if you have to haul water and use an outhouse in the back yard. Paying rent in Austin TX is just collective dumbness. Everyone I've ever met from there rents regardless of income. I don't get it - none of these people are struggling, but they'll pay $2-3K+ a month in rent for reasons I cannot fathom. Nice places, don't get me wrong, but no covered parking and no equity. Any other city in America and you'd only do that if you were planning on moving in a year.
