Yeah, that’s happened to me more than once. I set up autopay for a bunch of stuff after a hailstorm repair a couple years back—insurance, contractor p...
Red paint’s always been the worst for me, especially after a couple hailstorms and summers in Texas. My old Chevy turned pink in patches within five y...
Hammer loop’s only ever held a hammer for me, maybe a pry bar in a pinch. Tried sticking my phone in there once during a hail inspection—bad idea, alm...
