“That’s ‘hail alley’”

My daughter’s Ford Escape got hit by a similar hailstorm in Denver while parked at the airport. It looks like the top, hood, and one side got blasted by high-speed golf balls. The insurance company totaled it. Our daughter, being frugal and money-smart, took the insurance payoff, repaired the broken windshield, and kept the car. Mechanically it’s still fine and she’s still driving it today, about five years after the hailstorm. It’s got a “Totaled” title, but big deal.

Don’t the dents start to repair themselves? Our minivan got hit years ago, not to that extent, but I can’t see them anymore.

I hear through the grapevine that Oregon cars get damaged from falling whale debris: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPuaSY0cMK8
