Ok then how did they hit the top of the hood and fenders.
They come off the roof of the house or garage? Idiot kids? Mutant Squirrels picking them up and hitting the car to spite you?
I know the nuts off the tree hitting the garage roof then into the drive have the impact of a golf ball. They have some real speed coming down. THey would ding or damage the paint even on a car from the 50's.
Just wondering if you did not park under it how they ended up landing on it.

Good rule anymore is not to lean or sit on any car or truck anymore. It take so little to damage them.
They have to put so much more steel in the structure of the cars for crash standards the car gets heavy. So they take it out of the sheet metal and other parts to make the car lighter.
I have used my car blow dryer on some cars where I can see the metal deflect from the air blower. Honda's are the worst.

Not sure about my squirrels. I think some one is killing them as I find about 6-7 dead ones a year in the yard. I get tired of burying them. I want to keep them around to clean up the nuts. I hate picking the walnuts up, 3 years ago I had 48 trash bags full.

Bummer Greybeard-
that sux.. My Ol planted 2 Black Walnut trees out in back, I figure by the time they are big enough to worry about, I'll be too old to care..
skins are thin like soda cans, or beer cans if you prefer..
