You need to talk to an insurance adjuster about the insurability of the hail damaged rig... What I suspect I suspect you do as well or you'd not have ask.

Now here is an interesting thign.. What will it do to toe TOWability.

Well Mythbusters did a segment on a "Dimpled" v/s a smooth car.. Turns out the Dimples improved MPG.


Home was where I park it. but alas the.

I've determined there is only light cosmetic damage on the passenger sidewall. The roof will be resealed and inspected by me at the pdi. I will get a new battery, full 2 propane tanks, and I got the 400.00 prep fee waved. I'm satisfied with the deal and pulled the trigger. Thanks all for your input.


If the discount was sufficient to ignore the resale value hit, good call.


PS: Mythbusters episode was overly complicated and horribly flawed. Much simpler would have been to take a ballpeen hammer and dent up the car after doing the pre-testing.
