  • lucy22, on 07/04/2008, -1/+10Bad news if you are waiting for a Volkswagen.

  • o0dhacker0o, on 07/05/2008, -1/+3Not necessarily a huge loss...
  • Vitiare, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1Clearly most of you have never spent any time in Texas.

    This link is useless without pictures of the actual damage, not just a shot of a hail stone.
