Horrendous day...370z obliterated by hail
 

All I can say is that I feel ill. My baby got completely worked over by a crazy hail storm this afternoon. I can't even imagine what it's going to cost to fix the damage. Every panel on the car is so dimpled it looks like a goddamned golf ball. Anything that was plastic is cracked, every light housing is shattered, the windshield is cracked in so many places I can't even count them all and the back window just completely blew out. It even destroyed my gas cap cover...I found it halfway across the parking lot. I would have been hard pressed to do this much damage with a baseball bat before I tired out.

It's been a fun couple of years, but I guess the Z wasn't meant to be. Maybe it's time to get a Prius or something.

That is insane. I've never seen hail damage even close to that bad and we get hail all the time in Arkansas. Sorry for your loss!

HOLY SHIT

At least you are safe!


My money is on a total... Or let the water sit a bit and get a total

Sorry bro.

Holy Fawk! :eek2:
This is Gawd's sign for U to take the Nsurance $$$$ and buy that new '15 NISM0! :D

Damn bro! Good thing you weren't in the car driving as that glass doesn't play around. I'm guessing you had it towed?

I've never seen anything like it either. Most of the pieces were the size of golf balls, but there were some as large as tennis balls. I knew what was happening as soon as I heard it hitting the roof at work and went to race out to move my car but my coworkers wouldn't let me out the front door. In hindsight they did the right thing.

I'm not gonna lie though, after it was over and I went out to look at the damage I cried a little.

Hail?? Looks more like a Pissed off midget with a ball-pin hammer...

Little :supergay:
But I'll give you a pass because ICE, that you use to cool your drink fucked your car... Such BS

Oh yeah, thats a write off for sure. That sucks!
Sorry dude.

I have no doubt it's going to be totalled, and there's at least 3 inches of water sitting in the bottom of the car. The adjuster will be out in the morning to give me his take.

Day-uhm! DEpointfive0 is probably right about it being totaled. You have my condolences.

PS: You need to buy lunch for whoever wouldn't let you out of the building. They probably saved your life.

Thanks, and you're absolutely right about my coworkers. I'll be sure to take care of them tomorrow.

Sorry, dude.

That's totaled.

Damn where was this? Glad I live in the PNW.. Sorry for the loss but at least nobody got hurt

Thanks.

Reading PA, about an hour north of Philly.

:( Sad to see this. Hope you think about getting another Z or at the very least, stick around here. I'd have cried too.

There isn't anther car I would take over the Z until you are spending at least twice the price, minimum. In other words, I'm already shopping around for another one. :tup:

Holy fvcken dog chit!

We're glad your okay man. This is one of the reasons I left the east coast.

OMFG the damage is unreal. Sorry for your loss OP!

wow I used to live in south jersey about 15 min away from philly and I have never even seen hail or anything I can remotely remember

I would rather have it be totaled though than have a repaired car that has bodywork done to it at least you can get something in mint condition

We got a little rain in Harrisburg and that was it. Wasn't until I talked to the GF in the evening that I heard how hard Reading got hit. Your pics really show the distruction that the hail can do. I know I would of been sick to walk out and see that.

Holy smokes!!! Hopefully insurance won't give you a hard time with it. Time to upgrade maybe?

Wow, that's terrible! I haven't seen hail like that since I lived just over the Rockies!

That sir is a true tragedy.
Glad you're not hurt.

Those photos took my breath away.
As the owner of a GM also, it was like looking at my own Z.

Total loss. No doubt in my mind.

Damn... :( sorry to see.

Feel your pain I have hail damage too

:(

I heard about how bad the hail was up in that area. That is awful man, I hope you find your way back in a Z again.

Correct me off I am wrong but you do appear to be taking up two parking spaces. I am pretty sure they will deny your your claim for being parked illegally. Those dents will come right out with a few hits from a ball peen hammer. Ha ha just kidding. Hopefully you are paid off our at least right side up on your payments.

We had a little hail and heavy rain here in Delaware but nothing like what happened in your area. Hope everything works out for you with your claim.

That makes me sick to my stomach.

I am sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of mourning and grief.

We got some nasty hail here in Indiana also but nothing like that! I was glad I was driving my truck and not "Tina" or I would have just cried and walked home. If there is a cloud in the sky she doesn't come out of the batcave.

The destruction in that parking lot is uncanny!

Really glad you didn't get hurt. Hate to see such damage to a beautiful car though. I guess mother nature wanted to you get one of the new Nismos.

So I guess now would be a bad time to give you grief for taking 2 parking spaces?

Dam PA hail storms go HAM

:iagree:

That sucks dude. Best of luck, hope we see you in a shiny new Z soon.
