Weather 1 - HHR 0

Ugh, 90 KM/h gusts today and I got caught with my pants down... Good thing this is all covered under my insurance, just sucks to be without my car for a couple weeks, but eventually she'll be all fixed up again.

Ouch!

Sorry to hear Mother Nature wrinkled your ride, it's repairable, but it doesn't make it suck any less.

HHR doors seem to have more "sail area" than other vehicles, you've really got to hang onto 'em when the wind is at your back.

Ouch! Sorry that happened to you... Thankfully it is a bolt on part so you can make it good as new :)

Couple of weeks?! Sorry it happened but if my body shop took weeks to take care of that we would be out of business.

Couple weeks ow my best guess haha, the adjuster comes this week. You think it will be a repair or just hang a new door? The fender and hood look like they were undamaged. Yeah just hoping everything works out with insurance, they said I am covered for wind storms so we'll see

I don't think anybody does 'bump and paint' on bolt on body panels anymore.
