Thread: Did I get any hail damage?

  1. #1

    Question Did I get any hail damage?

    I just read that "Quarter-size hail was reported at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport" last night. The Miata is currently sitting out there in the Express lot. I did upgrade to a covered spot, but it occurred to me that the car-port style cover might not provide much protection if the hail comes in at an angle do to the wind. You guys think I am safe, or will I be coming home Friday to a dented up trunk?

    My car was out in the hail yesterday, but it wasn't large enough to do any damage.

    I heard they had golf balls the size of hail stones in Colleyville. My Miata looks good still, the only ding I've found is one I put in the door. Your's will be fine.

    I'm sorry Titus, but you did get hit BAD! You're just going to have to dismantle it and start the Westfield build

    Really, I think/hope it'll be fine.

    Screw the express lot. I'm glad my company pays for terminal parking.

    When you get a good day job you can get yourself a work car and leave the Miata under it's protective cover.

    I normally park at the terminal when it is a business trip, but American had me flying out of the international terminal, and I know they are going to have me returning to a different one. The weather didn't occur to me at the time, and I just figured it would be just as easy to park in express as it would be to go from terminal to terminal to get back to my car.

    I bet you have thicker sheet metal though. Hopefully Todd's car will be ok but if not, Glenn can fix it.
