    So,

    While I was down in DC, apparently there was some "rough weather" up by me.

    Golf ball size hail fell and smashed up the ram pretty good, as in roughly 60+ dents (ill take some pics when the F'ING rain stops so you can actually see the dents)

    However, Once my fury calmed down, and the wheels in the noggen started turning...I realized that...not all bad comes from this.

    So, ill post up some damage to the ram as a "before" picture.

    Then when its done, if what i'd like to see happen happens...ill post some pics of the "after"

    hehehehehehe

    I'm not sure if the insurance company will take some world class painter as a competitive bid...

    It was very amusing that everyone on my street came to me asking about if my car was damaged in the storm...they almost seemed more relieved than i was when they found out i was in DC LOL!!!

    but yeah i counted roughly 60 dents just in the hood, fenders, and roof...good thing that the drop in bedliner covers most of the rear body panels.

    Had my car been hit with that storm i probably would have went on a rampage LOL....

    but she was safely tucked away in a garage that weekend so its all good...

    now...as much as i hate them...im going to go buy a very thick high quality car cover for it lol
