Horrendous day...370z obliterated by hail

Nillaz · 05-22-2014, 11:27 PM

All I can say is that I feel ill. My baby got completely worked over by a crazy hail storm this afternoon. I can't even imagine what it's going to cost to fix the damage. Every panel on the car is so dimpled it looks like a goddamned golf ball. Anything that was plastic is cracked, every light housing is shattered, the windshield is cracked in so many places I can't even count them all and the back window just completely blew out. It even destroyed my gas cap cover...I found it halfway across the parking lot. I would have been hard pressed to do this much damage with a baseball bat before I tired out.

It's been a fun couple of years, but I guess the Z wasn't meant to be. Maybe it's time to get a Prius or something.

That is insane. I've never seen hail damage even close to that bad and we get hail all the time in Arkansas. Sorry for your loss!

DEpointfive0 · 05-22-2014, 11:34 PM

HOLY SHIT

At least you are safe!

My money is on a total... Or let the water sit a bit and get a total

Sorry bro.

L33T Z34 · 05-22-2014, 11:36 PM

Holy Fawk!

This is Gawd's sign for U to take the Nsurance $$$$ and buy that new '15 NISM0!

Masterbeatty · 05-22-2014, 11:40 PM

Damn bro! Good thing you weren't in the car driving as that glass doesn't play around. I'm guessing you had it towed?

Nillaz · 05-22-2014, 11:49 PM

I've never seen anything like it either. Most of the pieces were the size of golf balls, but there were some as large as tennis balls. I knew what was happening as soon as I heard it hitting the roof at work and went to race out to move my car but my coworkers wouldn't let me out the front door. In hindsight they did the right thing.

I'm not gonna lie though, after it was over and I went out to look at the damage I cried a little.

Hail?? Looks more like a Pissed off midget with a ball-pin hammer...

But I'll give you a pass because ICE, that you use to cool your drink fucked your car... Such BS

I have no doubt it's going to be totalled, and there's at least 3 inches of water sitting in the bottom of the car. The adjuster will be out in the morning to give me his take.

Day-uhm! DEpointfive0 is probably right about it being totaled. You have my condolences.

PS: You need to buy lunch for whoever wouldn't let you out of the building. They probably saved your life.

Thanks, and you're absolutely right about my coworkers. I'll be sure to take care of them tomorrow.

Fuzzzy · 05-23-2014, 12:10 AM

Sorry, dude.

That's totaled.

Xplicit97 · 05-23-2014, 12:15 AM
