I guess nothing lasts forever...

Plan was to keep this forever...It hailed for 15 minutes...huge golf *****
170k+ original engine and stock u know what. It really WAS perfect inside out...

Insurance needs to come out but I'm pretty sure it's totaled. Every single panel is damaged. Now the interior engine suspension is set up perfectly for me. What do I do next if they want to total the car? I know they won't give me anything close to what I've put in...damn it. Buy back the car? How does that work?

OMFG you poor man. I am so sorry to see a lovely 911 in such a state. I am shocked. Where did this happen. What state. We have had golf ball hail in PA today near Harrisburg and also Reading I believe. I feel so sorry for you. I know how much I love my car and feel for you. Life is so unfair at times.

I was going to take my b8 a4 today...i picked up the wrong key.

Has anyone bought back their car? I'm not sure if that'll be a good idea though...

Sorry about your situation. I had a similiar situation where I faced a dilemma of pulling my car out of a flooded garage and risk getting hail damage or leave the car in the garage and risk flood damage. I ended up jacking up my car in the garage and the flood water just barely touched my undersides luckily.

Depending on the buy back price - payout, I'd make lemonade by doing widebody 997 GT3RS widebody conversion with CF roof. This would basically replace all the areas that's been affected by the hail.

Man...that's hard to look at.

I don't think I could live anywhere where something like this might happen.
