sitting in my garage watching the HAIL bounce off the neighbors cars. Good thing I didn't venture out. Hope all of you are doing ok and not in that weather.

I'm with you Evo. I just changed out a window regulator and didn't have time to put the glass in. So the minute the rain came I was like...uh...no. Then the hail? Hell no! =)

the hail ended it for me. I went out there around 7pm and not a whole lot was going on so I just took my fun drive down CR 225 and then cruised home. oh well...

Sold it a couple of months ago to a guy in Virginia I think. Something happened with the gt40 deal...not sure but he said he was "heartbroken". Never got the full story on that though.

LOL. Man, it sucked! BUT I'm glad my car wasn't out in it. Imagine YOUR car being pelted by 1,000s of little ice bullets.

Well i went to the Track there was no sign of hail at the track or on my way to it now couldnt see **** outta my window when it was pouring down. but once i got to the track it wasnt so bad just as the announced they were canceling the drag racing the sun came out and the rain stopped but they were to lazy to go prep the track so over all it was a waste of $60 for entry fee and race gas.

@Bryan - Yes...Him sold the car to a guy in Virginia...close to his asking price also which surprised me. I mean the car was very nicely maintained but I was very surprised in this economy.

The GT40 he told me some of the details at the gym but it is up to him should he choose to share the story. Nothing crazy, he had his end ready to go, it was the manufacturer/distributor that dropped the ball.

Saw some pics on the "hot" bikini show and it looked to be average at best. Didn't see too many stand out cars there, some DID have some sweet sound setups. No pics of any RX7s??
