    Well, cars are a lot softer than asphalt shingles, but you certainly could have something going on up there. How difficult is it to climb up and take a look? I'd offer to do it, but I just got back into town and have to leave again so I'm not available.

    There are probably resources on the web as to what composition shingle 'bruising' looks like. You might want to know what to look for before you get on the roof. If it were me, I'd also be checking the pipe boots on the roof penetrations for damage. Vent caulking seals are something that have also bitten me in the past.

    ...but Irving is the expert. Hell, I didn't even stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.

    Lost the sunroof on the Mamamobile, a couple good dingers in the hood of my truck.
    Got lucky and found a sunroof assembly at a local yard for $200.00.
    Guess what I'm doing this weekend?

    Go play with your putter.

    I’ll climb up and take a look. Maybe tomorrow or Thursday. It looks pretty good from the ground.

    The wife thinks I should file a claim and get my truck fixed. I’m leaning towards just enjoying the fuel savings from the aerodynamic efficiency of the dimples.

    Good luck with the repairs. I can't imagine it will be much fun, but you're more mechanically inclined/talented than some mechanics I've come across (and that's just from what I've witnessed on the forums).

    As for the aerodynamics of your dimpled vehicle...how often do you use backspin? Have you ever hooked or sliced on the way to your job? I have heard of turning hail damage dollars into firearms. That's almost like alchemy.

    Just stick an umbrella up through it, then open it up and pull down & duct tape around the edges.
    That should hold you until at least through winter.

    Sounds like a Red Green repair

    I use backspin regularly in my daily commute and when necessary also hook and slice. It’s the best way to deal with traffic along the front range.
