    Boy I have never "rearranged" my garage so fast in my life. Luckily I was able to get half of the Taco in the garage. Using the Tepui as a shield. Didn't get out unscathed, few minor dents to the rear fender. Left skidmarks in my driveway as I tokyo drifted around and back into the garage after tossing everything out of the way including a 150lb motor block.

    We keep the side I don't park my car in easy to clean up for that reason, haha. We haven't had a bad hail storm yet luckily. Glad you at least got the front end in; I haven't seen hail stones like that since I was a kid

    My daughter lives in Dallas TX where they get hail all the time. She and her husband are the only ones on their street who actually use their garage to park their cars in. Most people on their have had some sort of hail damage over the years.

    Hey, any pics of your neighbors’s car? Curious about the comparison.. my RTT really keeps the cab cooler from the sun, they offer great protection!

    Yeah I took more damage than I thought actually. The max trax (knockoffs) and pelican (knockoff) saved the roof while I was scrambling to get it the the garage. Tepui saved the bed and cover dont know what it'll look like when I take the cover off. I got probably 20 dingers. My neighbors brand new Challenger looks like Swiss cheese and cracked windshield.

    My house took a beating. Was so worried about the taco I forgot the house lol

    My biggest fear right now.... my garage has my 2 other cars in it, so the taco lives outside under a oak tree.

    Hard to tell from the picture, but this is my neighbors Challenger. Compatively speaking I came out pretty good.

    I can imagine that hurting quite a bit. I see a few dingers on your truck but hopefully not too bad, Challenger looks messed up bad. Sucks about the siding, atleast that's a semi easy fix hopefully. Thank god you had that garage were able to act quickly.

    My house is old, Taco wouldn't fit in the garage, I'd be fucked. Let us know how things look after a thorough inspection.
