I kind of wished my wife had the jeep out at the time. I want an insurance claim so I could upgrade to the AEV hood, but no such luck today.
Yup, I work for the Penske Group (Audi.) LOTS of damage today. That should make for an interesting week. Supposedly, the deductible for each car is in the $1500 range. Gonna be some busy body shops the next couple weeks.

My Jeep was in the employee parking lot, no doors, only the front freedom panels on. Had a couple inches of water in the foot wells. No carpet, recently bedlined, pulled the plugs and it poured out. Got some nice dents in my hood though. Time for AEV hood? Might be...

Glad to see everyone is ok after yesterdays storm. Sorry to hear about damage to the vehicals. TonyT. you are right time to plan for that new hood upgrade. Thought about if You were to get stuck in the jeep in a bad hail storm the tops dont offer much protection.

There are far more nice rigs on campus but as far as i have seen so far, they seem to stay on campus...

You guys know the weather, its been raining here for the past 3 days too. When it started i just left the top and doors off, that changed after i drove home sitting ina puddle. I still was to lazy to put the rear window back on my soft top, so i tried hiding the back of it under the front porch. Friend of mine has had his Pontiac Fiero on jack stands and tools everywhere in the garage for the past week.



From my front door.
Nice to see no tornados up there so far this morning. Unless you saw some.... Scary to even think about tornados since there isn any type of real early warning system out here for that sort of thing.

That sucks dude...well at least you all will be busy to say the least.

From what i got off of The Weather Channel and NOAA this morning there was a tornado in Phoenix and two up north closer to flag? Were in a warning zone too here in PRC so someone has atleast seen a funnel cloud and reported it to move us out of the tornado watch phase.

Days like this actually make my job entertaining. Everyother day all i ever get to do is predict the highs and lows... Sunny is boring

I was at the Audi dealership getting wipers for my A6, lol.

Yeah go for the AEV hood!!!!

BTW work looks like crap today and so are all the neighboring businesses. McDowell is closed with lines down and Rush has no power...(how is that working for you Roger?)

6" Baja Design H.I.D.'s. The ones I used to have on my bumper went up top, then added three
