So sorry to hear about your string of bad luck. That just means that there is a lot of good luck waiting for you around the corner.
Let us know if there is anything that we can do.
Wow man, sorry to hear this. Hail is scary. I've seen what it can do. Last night here in Reno we had one of the most violent t-storms I have witnessed here since I moved. I was worried about the Impulse and the Trooper the whole time.

A bad hail storm came through Dallas about ten years ago and did damage somewhere in the Billion $ range. 1000s of brand new cars at the dealerships destroyed.:(
Sounds like what they needed was one of these bad boys. Nissan has one at their plant in Mississippi to protect cars fresh off the line from hail.

Let them total your VX (dont mention the motor) buy back and keep for parts and buy a new VX
Powered by 100% pure refined high grade enriched condensed USDA approved snake oil:rolly: If they wanted to get rid of hail with sound waves the best way is obviously:Quote:

:bgwb:nice, what a ridiculous idea, sounds like Nissan bought something from some local redneck to keep the local population happy. Maybe they meant the bunker, not the actual cannon. Nothing inside the bunker has ever been damaged by hail, therefore the contraption must work!!
SONIC BOOM!
I always sucked at Street Fighter.

Paul, sorry to hear of all the bad luck... Sounds like one hell of a day...Let me know if I can help in any way?
If anything the people living in the area around the plant despise the thing. Apparently it makes a ridiculously loud sound when it goes off, which must be pretty frequently. Do a Google search and you'll find links to local news channel reports.
I think one of the articles said that there are at least 70 of these things in North America, most of which are placed in the middle of fields to protect crops from hail damage. From what I read they should work in theory, but you're right there's no evidence that they actually work, other than that the Nissan factory hasn't been hit once by hail since they installed it. ;)
I imagine if I had $10 million in inventory sitting in an unprotected parking lot I'd be willing to throw a few hundred K around on snake oil too. :)
And nice SF reference. :thumbup:
Sorry to hear such a sad story. More so that you had to go through all that... Hope you get back to normality fast.
Seen a new block on ebay, cheap!
