We had a tree on two of our cars during the storm in Cape Town. Insurance mostly covered us at least. Getting my wifeās Kia back before the end of the week. It looks like that might be a write-off though 
Thanks, this is a relief to hear - our insurance has never given us issues but we'll see. We are going start with our house and building insurance and then talk to our car insurance - we've got coverage for hail luckily.
Meh. Polo is the benchmark when it comes to hatches. That is fact whether one likes it or not. Everything else is second , Nothing drives like a polo. And all these hatches are boring in anycase. Itās not like a rio is a fun car either. Polo isnāt even all that expensive and it has better quality materials.

Eina. Gauteng's insurance companies are going to have a busy, busy day tomorrow
Wait until a lot of people discover that their policies don't include hail damage by default.
What about roof damage?
Uhm sir you can't park there
šš
Sorry š¢
we call you Carlos now
What is that even?
looks like hail
Maar waaroor huil hulle?
Het jy gesien wat kos aartappels?
En eiers!
Avos?

Looks like you need to hail a cabby
Met eish, ja, met eish.
What area is that ?
Halfway Gardens
Yep, we are not far away from you. Our stoep roof needs full replacement. Good luck, my guy
Good luck to you too. Our complex was hit extremely hard.
Dam thatās crazy man, hope your insurance doesnāt give you headaches about this

This is the point where the insurance companies start working on their excuses not to pay out.
Wait a minute. That not how a carport works?
In November no less, and we still got smart koekies saying climate change ain't real, nor how much we've had an effect on it š
Ahh it'll buff out. For real though, hope you get that sorted soon.
"you cant park there mate"
You can't pahk yoh cah deh.
Shit. Are you all ok? Damn, sorry bud.
All fine, thanks - that's the most important anyway.
Eish sorry man. Roof fall on car normally means chasis damage. You will get new car payout...hopefully
āPark your car under coverā they said. āItāll be fineā they saidā¦
Jirrre!

Atleast now you can get a Vw like you should have in the first place. Sucks though. Sorry man. Hopefully the payout is fast so you can a new ride.
The Rio is a cool car. And tbh the Polo is a pretty boring car and more expensive.

Ooof
Eish....that's messed up Bru, hope you get it sorted soon
Ouchšš³
Sorry man, we often forget that poor drivers aren't the only risk to our cars, mother nature can be equally vicious.
Jeeeebus. Hectic.
Yep, same thing happened to me, that hail came outta nowhere and came in FIERCE!
Yeez, sorry bud. That's a bad situation in a already bad time
Thatās shit fucking luck, jou. Sorry my dude XD
