Default Re: Minnesota X-fires

Unfortunately my sidecar rig is torn apart in the garage so the Crossfire was outside. I was engrossed in work on my computer and didn't know there was a storm coming till it hit and If I'd been paying attention I could have at least put my heavy cover on it. We had enough dime-sized hail that you could have plowed it with a truck and a tree with about an 18" trunk fell right across the road missing my wife's Buick Rendezvous by about a foot and my Crossfire by about six feet. And to make the possible damage worse there is an old birch tree over my driveway that the woodpeckers have been using for nesting and the whole top is dead and in other storms chunks have fallen off of it. Soooo... you can imagine what it was like when, even before the hail and rain stopped I went out to feel the hood and trunk of my roadster. No visable dents!!! I was so very relieved. I'll be finishing up the work on the sidecar rig tonight so my baby can get back in his cave.
