So, how upset should I be right now that small hailstones are pelting my TT?

Default It's times like these you just have to force this idea on yourself, Joel...

"It's just a car."

Try. I know it's hard. I am sure you are staring at it like a deer in headlights. I would.

Default You speak a foriegn langage! Deer in the headlights ref. right on the mark....

The hail stopped a few minutes ago but I am too worked up to go out and take a look. I'm also waiting for a call from a Federal Judge about a trial I'm starting on Monday - wouldn't be prudent to see hail damage then speak with him immediately thereafter!

"just a car....just a car..... NOT WORKING!!

Default Almost as bad - I'm watching three clowns with three leaf blowers taking about half a year to blow

crap around my car - it is a horrible view from my office window.

Default That reminds me of years ago. Take my wife to the market in my Porsche. Park far away from the

idiots. I was parked on quite a downgrade, and the low end of the market parking lot. I look up, and there is a shopping cart hurtling towards me and my prized Porsche. I am still strapped in with my seat belt on. I struggle to get loose from the belt, but my shaking hands were not functioning efficicently. I failed to make it out, and the shopping cart goes whizzing by at what looks to be 30 MPH. It missed me by about a quarter of an inch. Whew!!!

Default I was racing against a guy from St. Louis who had a white Type-R that got pelted...

...with golfball-sized hailstones. It broke out the rear window, and one stone punched a hole through the parcel shelf inside! There were even dents in bent seams, where I would have thought that the car was strongest. His InsCo was in the process of fixing the car, but he needed it to race that weekend. As he put it, the moral to his story is to never park in that big empty green field at the driving range. :-) Glad that he could laugh at it, because his white Type-R looked like a golf ball with all the dimples on it from the hail stones..... :-(
