Default What my Type R means to me.

I just picked up my Type R not even a week ago and its a very clean one. Today we are having REALLY bad storms and hail in the range from marble to ping pong to baseball size! I stood with a huge panel of wood and blocked the incoming hail, it stung a little but no damage!! The sound was incredible....still waiting to see the outcome of my EK race car.





Priorities are strait, LOL.

Now if you didn't have that panel, would you use your body as a shield?

Damn, I am in NC and we had some of that bad weather as well, tornados and ****. A little hail but not like that. I was at work and park so I can see my caR from the front windows. I was scared that my caR might get blown away and all I could do is watch.

Garages FTW! I was driving home a few summers ago and got hit by a freak hail storm... My friend sat in amazement as I had a freakin mental breakdown about having the R in hail... it was very much not damaged by it. This is also the R that never goes out in any wet weather! haha
