Any sympathy for my not-a-jeep that the universe keeps trying to destroy?
So our family adventure wagon is a 2009 patrol, with not much over 100k on it, barely run in (disclaimer - not making any comments about capabilities of patrols vs jeeps, the patrol came first and it's the one with all the crap bolted onto it), and kept in pretty good condition (for a camping/beach car).
Late last year we got pounded by the hail storm in Toormina, dimpled every surface on the car, smashed both tail lights, insurance wrote it off (that's how I got my jeep), but we kept it because it's still the same car, just with more character.
Then, just a couple of weeks ago in some nasty weather, two roof tiles came off my neighbour's roof (still tarped over from the hail storm while they battle with their insurance), and BOTH OF THE F*#%KING THINGS landed on my patrol!
What the hell does the universe have against my poor patrol??? He only ever brought joy to my family!
First pic is after hail storm, other 2 are after roof tiles. I'm in touch with their roofing contractor and he's already replaced the glass out of his pocket, was talking to him the other day and he says his insurance company is being an insurance company about it. So I'll give it a little while and then look into options.
