You can't go to Memphis without getting shot at
Very hip city though. I spent the 4th at my cousin's house in Midtown. I took my '85 300cd, and had to do a few repairs, and got done around dusk when people started with the fireworks. I came out the next morning to find a dent in the roof from a bullet falling from the sky, never did find it though. I really can't be mad about that, has to be filled under the **** happens clause. I am just glad I wasn't still working on the car, and it didn't hit on the back window about a foot away.

I lived in midtown Mempho from 80-84. When you bought beer at the Walgreen's at Poplar and Cleveland - you were ready to dive on the floor to avoid armed robberies. Sorry to see your baby with a boo boo.

Wow!
Mythbusters did a show on this. Gawd if that landed on a skull, might
have hurt  . We have a "Dent Pro" in my area that may be able to fix.Search "paintless dent repair". Kinda like a hailstone repair.

There are several other flaws on the car, I just going to patch it with some sanding, primer and spray paint off the shelf. I have a few other things to spend money on before a new paint job.
