Nuts!!!

Literally........... I just went out to the car and was like WTF are these dents from..... I was just about to strangle some kids or somebody.... anybody. There was some wind earlier, not too bad, but the direction must have bent the tree just enough.......

Walnuts!

So now I have one dent in the hood, not to bad but under the inner framework so I can't get at it. Also a triple dent in the passenger front fender.... it bounced. I may be able to get at those if I can get the inner fender well out....... Not her first dents, but the first since I've owned it, and the most notable......

Hail will wipe all the cars out. They have to remove weight anywhere they can and sheet metal adds up.

Make it as thin as you can has been the way it has been for a while Imports were the first.

I have a walnut tree too. I would not park even my plastic Fiero under one. Those things come down hard and would even dent a old car.
