Wasn`t the formulation changed in the last decade or two? Seems they
changed to a different compound that used initials as the name - like
"RPG composite" or somesuch. I seem to recall some bodyshop education
efforts about repairing the new material.

Two things-
As someone else pointed out, that was a light shower. I remember in 95 the
Ft. Worth (I worked there then) storm with 6" hail. Pea size, most cars will
weather that just fine.
Also, you need to fix the NOT part. Life`s too short to NOT have fun.
For my one car that is not in the garage I have a plan for work and a plan
for home where I can get it to a place where it will be safe from hail. But
you need to have an early warning system (weather alerts) and the ability to
cut and run.
When I lived in Colleyville, TX (near Ft. Worth) the place was Baylor
Hospital lot

奔驰 SLR, 法拉利599,阿斯顿马丁DBS,奥迪R8和兰博基尼5辆超级跑车各载1加仑油比赛。法拉利599开了1.7miles就熄火了。第二辆退出的是阿斯顿马丁,奔驰SLR是第三个退出,主持人驾驶的兰博基尼位居第二,最后的冠军是奥迪R8,它足足跑了5miles,如果你想买节油的跑车,那就是奥迪R8。
问你宝马 M3(M为竞速)和丰田Prius(51mpg in city)哪个更经济,99%的会说丰田。但是结果显示每加仑M3比Prius多跑2 miles,如果你想买节油的车,Go get BMW M3,LOL!

Title: Friday Update ~ Hotlanta!Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2009 01:25:43 +0000Author: jaebuenoTouched down this afternoon in Atlanta Georgia. I’m here for this weekend’s Obsession Fest at the Atlanta Dragway hosted by Obesssion Car Club. I went right to work and shot Edgar’s 64 Impala from Obsession Car Club. Stay tuned for more updates throughout the weekend!
I shot this on the way to the photoshoot.
