well mother nature got mad at my maximas last night

I live in MS and we got a lot of bad weather last night. We had golf ball and larger sized hail...I have lived here a long time and cant remember the last time we had hail but we have had it 2 times this month alone. The last time the hail was fairly small though.

I checked my maximas this morning and am very upset. On my beautiful black 92 I have dings all over it...hood, roof and trunk. My 90 which is parked out by the road with a for sale sign on it has a few dings in it too but not as many as the 92. My Cherokee has a couple of dings on it but not that many. My 93SE (the one I am doing all the work to) was under the car port so it is undamaged. I am working on building a garage/shop but unfortunately I had nothing to put the other cars under last night.

thankfully we didnt get hit by a tornado like some did...I like my cars but love my wife and little girls and am glad they are all safe.

also I live in higher elevation and didnt get flooded like others in town did.

Well, Michael... all I can say about that is that I'm glad to hear you, your wife, and your girls are well. I'm sure it could've been worse, but having your hard work get hit like that isn't the most pleasant of experiences.....

Well at least the 93 wasn't hit. After just fixing the damage, that would've sucked so much. But yes, heat gun and dry ice should fix your woes. Sorry to hear man.

I will hopefully next week.


I am just glad I live in a higher elevation. I went to town (I live in the county) and there were several houses that were flooded. A car lot that had all its cars on the side of the road since their parking lot was flooded.

I saw a couple cars parked with water up to the windshield at a few houses.

I am going to try the dry ice next week if I can find someone that sells it here.

If not I will try a CO2 extinguisher since my dad owns a fire extinguisher business and has a few old co2 fire ext. laying around he said I could discharge
