hail storm in australia

[paul_h]

Well, I got caught in the worst of it, my ute is probably a write off.
I heard they only pay 75% of market value for hail damage, and 'market value' gets very screwed down tight when insurance companies are bleeding due to huge numbers of claims, so you really get shafted twice.
Means I'll probably have to come up with $5K out of my own pocket to buy myself something that doesn't look like a piece of crap.


My weekend car took a beating too, not going to bother with it, just drive that ****ty car into the ground. I just spent 2K on mechanical work, suspension/brakes etc and now the car is worthless due to hail damage.


Edit: For people going storm, what storm, here's a crappy youtube link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZATb...eature=related.
I've looked around, but there's no videos showing how bad it was in the area my car was parked in. The customers house I was at had all the glass smashed and had a tin roof, so it was extremely loud, I've never been witness to anything like it, and hail and smashed glass was raining down on us.
