I was parked at my friends house when we got hit by a storm with hail, longest hour of my life, I just stayed at the window and freaked out from any small, weird reflection I saw, luckily, no dents, sorry to hear about your car though that's prolly really expensive to repair

That sucks - I worry about it because my TI stays in the driveway.

And I don't want it to look like this.

Time to call the paintless dent removal guy. Sorry to hear about the hail damage. Guess it was better than getting hit and run.

True that, I got hit and was pissed. it's better to know it was from hail instead of some jack a$$ who didn't bother to leave a card or anything.
