mmm, insurance fraud... Hey those hails stones look pretty wussy. My experience is it takes something approaching golf ball size to dent most cars. But I've never seen an RX-7 get hailed on before.

I just got hailed on when I got to the movie theater in muncie indiana. There was nowhere to put my car, but I got lucky and the hail didn't do any damage. It was comin down in chunks though, not little round *****.

If you do get any insurance money, I suggest you put it towards another bumper so that you can move out of the 'Angry Catfish' phase

pwwatkins, you are brave taking your FD to the movies. I don't anymore out of fear the car won't be there when I get back.....

Had a date, and the other car is at the shop. I usually try to hide the cd player, pfc, boost controller, etc. But tonight I decided to live dangerously.

To bad your not chuck norris, he would've thrown the hail back up at the sky and dented it.

Sorry to see what happen, I probably would've laid across my hood and took the hits for her! lol.... not even joking....

Someone should turn you in for insurance fraud if you do try turning it in. Everyone wonders why insurance is so high, here's a prime example...

how is that insurance fraud when you are hit with Hail damage?????? Its a legal claim. Just because he has a new bumper ready to go doesnt mean ****. They will give him the amount it should cost to remove the dents or get a new hood + paint. Anything extra on the cost is on him, not insurance.


6 years ago Fairfax County was hit with a random hail storm. Insurance paid for new siding all the way around the house, fixed my dented hood/roof/trunk. Neighbor had a vert sitting outside and received a new roof after 50+ holes were created in it.

Its insurance fraud because he doesn't have insurance right now... He was planning on getting insured and then file a claim.
