This is precisely why I panic when I see a severe thunderstorm approaching while parked at work.
Damn nature, you scary! |

Yeah PDI is not going to bring that car back...looks like the whole thing will need to be worked on in a shop, like 10g in damages (with labour, parts, painting etc) that really sucks.
BUT those little dents may just smooth out the air going over the car, like how the bottom of the a lexus is dimpled like a golf ball? haha  Quote:
