Had no choice...he'd never make it home in time!

The front end of the 83' is still apart...so with a little shifting around and popping mine up on the step at an angle...his fit right in with about 1.5 feet to the garage door behind it!

After experiencing $10K+ of damage on my 2010 TDI a few years back...I refuse to have this happen to anyone else. White is the way to go, don't ya know! :laugh:

My brother is in OKC at the moment fixing hail damaged cars. Apparently they are fairly beat up too. Golf ball size is ideal for fixing...softball is nasty.

Nope, he cheated! He has the backup camera lol And sitting in the OEM Euro seats being all plush, I'm sure that calmed him down baking his R up that close to the wall

Don't hate! :beer: I turned my back long enough you could have had them... :laugh: Yes, the RVC helped to a point but Carlos took over with hand signals.

OP is a good friend and should be rewarded with beer.

Where's the hail?

We got extremely lucky at the house with only very high winds (45-50 knots) an heavy rain for a few hours. However, it was a good decision to stay put after the phone call he received from his roomMate about the golf ball sized hail they got at his place in Tx...not once but in three different waves. We based the decision on the pending storm front that was inbound and based off the radar we had fully expected to get hail. Parts of the town did get hit...we were just lucky this time around.

He even drove the R for me I had an accident at work with a knife and I couldn't maneuver like he did. George is truly a good friend
