To make matters worse the insurance company got back to me today. They have such a backlog of claims that it will be at least 2 weeks before an adjuster can even take a look at it. I'm told that if I want to expedite the situation I can tow it again on my dime to one of their preferred body shops in order to get an estimate on damages. Otherwise I can go pound sand.

Ugh! When a similar hailstorm hit my community last year a couple of the big insurance companies (State Farm was one), set up mobile claims stations at the local Home Depot. Not much help if the car isn't drivable though.

Good luck!

As upset as I was at the time I probably would have had a stroke if it had been a brand new GTR. I feel terrible for that dude.

Wow thats crazy! It hailed here last week as well and my wife's 3month old car got a few small dents on the roof and I was upset. I couldn't even imagine seeing my Z like yours. That sucks your insurance isn't responding sooner. Luckily that should be totalled. Good luck with everything

Sorry that happened to you, bro. That really sucks, and I'd have cried too....... Just an observation, but at least you didn't get door dinged parking in 2 spots like that! Not trying to be a ****, just trying to give you a chuckle......You need one right now.

No worries in hindsight it IS kind of funny...I was always so worried that someone was going to nick my paint and took steps to combat it and then my car got hit with the equivalent of an asteroid. Karma's a bitch!

As an aside, I was positive that if anyone was going to out my crappy parking on the forum it was going to be you that caught me. Funny how things work out.

A friends GF works at reading hospital, and parks in a parking garage. She was leaving when the hail started, and she said it sounded like the roof was going to collapse, so she drove her new car outside, where it was totaled by the storm.
We didn't get any at my place, but a few miles away they got hammered pretty good as well. Nothing like in your area, though.
Take the insurance companies check, get a Titlest golf-ball vinyl wrap, and go to Hawaii with the rest.
