guess where the hail landed? yup on the m

i haven't been able to get outside, its absolutely pouring.... but my car just sat through a mini tornado, hail and 80-100 mph winds

i took a video of when it first started, but i can't seem to get it off my phone to my email

Dork, don't you have a garage??

 

[Briansol]

i'm at work

 

[TurboMirage]

haha now your roof looks like mine!

 

[|Chaz|]

That sucks man

 

[phyregod]

Bah, that sucks. Golf ball sized hail should only be paintless dent repair style stuff. But who the hell knows.

Still sucks.

 

[nootrac22]

Hope you're not upside down on the loan.

 

[Jeef]

Ttiwwop

 

[phyregod]

Damage report? Can you see it yet?

 

[Briansol]

it's pitch black out like its 3am. its crazy....

i got the vid to my email, now i'm trying to convert 3g2 to avi or mpg so its actually viewable

 

[Briansol]

wow, youtube doesn't even know wtf to do with this format. lol

my sound is fubar, and its sideways...

YouTube - hail on the M

 

[phyregod]

Dude! the chipmunks are watching your car get fucked up!

 

[Briansol]

[BigJ]

So how does the car look? Or is it still going on?

 

[INJEN78]

[Briansol]

i think i'm in the eye right now.

it's erie as fuck.

dead calm.

lightning and thunder like crazy in the distance...

sirens going off everywhere....

i'm tempted to go home now, but i think round 2 is coming, and i don't want to be cought on the highway in it.


yup, round 2 is coming

 

[Briansol]

well, the car looks ok i guess... i dunno. its too dark and soaking wet.

i thought it was going to be a lot worse when i saw that hail start coming down

we'll see better in the morning.

here's another stupidtube video.


totally off topic, what do you guys use to take your 3g2 videos off your phone to convert to mpg's or whatever?
