Thought I was gonna die

Happened to be outside when this started. I could hear the noise and was like...who is beating garbage cans with a baseball bat? Then one of these almost took my head off!

Royal Oak Audi is severely damaged, as are the Toyota and Honda dealers.

It looks like a new hood is in order for me, soft top protected everything else...  HMMM... Maybe time to cut it up for a snorkel.   My Wife did not make out as well as I did...  body shop time.

It was golf ball size here in royal oak. For once I actually parked in my garage,but the baseball size holes in my siding are testament to what could have happened to the jeep.
Getting grumpier every day.

Vinyl siding vs. sheet metal.  Only a slight difference

As for the "made in China" debate, that is a whole other can of worms.
