F@cking Hail!?

Kev · 06-24-2008, 06:56 PM

Was out to grab take out with the woman and right when we started driving the hail started..... Saw in horror as the ice kept hitting my car. Ducked into a garage to look any signs of damages but everything turned out ok

Funny side note:

So we were on Huntington Ave outside of the Pru when the hail started shitting down. We turned around and pulled into the Colonnade's apartment building to seek refuge. The watchdog ran out and started chasing and cussing us away. My wife rolled down the window, gave him the evil eye, pulled up the window and ignored the guy's "command". We totally ignored this dude, did a 3-point turn inside the building (while he was cussing, yelling, and throwing his fist up in the air) and pulled into the garage. We thought, "There were no one at the building at that time and there was a hail storm outside. Did that prick of a watch dog need to be such a bitch?"

Crazy weather yesterday, it looked like the end of the world @ Fenway. I Blame the Rem-Dawg, lol. Glad to hear your car is ok!

Was almost shitting bricks when the hail started pouring down, glad I decided to make a u-turn into the Colonnade.

What the fuck is wrong with the weather? It started raining like shit a couple hours ago and now the sun is out again!?

Hail can REALLY do some damage. We just had a nasty storm last Monday. Thank goodness my Bimmer was in my garage, but a dear friend's brand new Infiniti got it worse than I have ever seen before. It looks like someone took a hammer to the entire car. Makes me sick to even look at it.

Then, yesterday, on the highway, I was behind a black 535 and it looked just as bad. I hate the hail!!!

Nothing is wrong with the weather. It's the climate you should be worried about. This is the first summer in human history where the arctic sea ice may completely disappear. This is not good. I think we're reaching a point of no return.

Strong storms are something people from the south are used to, and it seems eerie that we're seeing this happen here for a week now. I wonder if the whole summer will be like this. Still, can't just use one event to detect a pattern.

When my car got hit, I felt like someone was kicking my balls. Of course, that dick head concierge at the building across from where I live didn't help either. I was relieved that there was no damage done to the car when we pulled into the garage next door. My wife was worried enough that she actually stepped out and inspected the car herself, a very rare occurrence.

I grew up with storms and typhoons (being raised in Hong Kong), so I'm used to this kind of weather. However, I was baffled by sudden change of weather this year..... I think Al might be on to something.

Kev did you just order a new set of side skirts?

Kev · 06-27-2008, 04:29 PM

Not yet, thinking about it. I'm not sure if getting a new set of side skirts and starting over would solve the yellowing problem....... Might hold off until the front bumper gets here. Asked Matt if he would be able to find someone to match it, coz the old E90 lip came out great and it's made of similar material
