Default gotta love hail damage....

its kinda worthless to take pictures...but my truck did get hit by hail

long story short i called my insurence company adn they sent a dude to come look it while i was at schoolz and i called him today adn got a check in the mail.....1064.88 bucks!!! after my deductiable...

my question to you is what i should do.....ig i could take pic but idk how good u guys would be able to see dents...but from my observation..theres about 3-5 dents to 1 square foot that are about dime size(golf ball hail hit it)..

-i need new tired for the winter bc im not driving my rims in the snow/salt roads..
-fix the dents, dish out another 500 bucks, and another 400 for tires and my truck would look new
-save the money for mechanical issues
-go buy hookers
-find some kick *** mods for the truck

hookers are a good investment... but they prefer to be called "dancers".
