1997 Boxster got 'Beat the hail up'

I live a quarter mile from Bristol Motor Speedway, and my 1997 Boxster looks like it has been redesigned by a golf ball engineer. Sadly, the top is fine, and I would have loved for it to have been damaged, since I want to replace it anyway.

I saw the storms coming online, and logged into Progressive's website and dropped my deductible on the same day, the adjuster that called me thought that was funny.

I'm not quite sure what to expect. One dent cracked the paint on the rear decklid, so PDR isn't an option there. The adjuster will be here on Wed to look over the car. I had hail damage years ago on an RX-7 I had, but I just took the check and paid off the car.

One of my tail lights is shattered, and I looked on eBay at the Depo (brand?) LED ones. Anyone know if those retain the stock rear fog light?

Anyhow, thanks for letting me vent. I picked the wrong week to put my Volvo in the shop and dive the Boxster every day

If you knew hail was coming, you couldn't park in a garage or under a bridge?

There was a guy a bit north that pulled into a car wash, and it collapsed and killed him.

A garage would be nice, but I'm separated at the moment and don't have access to one.

This may be covered by something other than auto insurance. Ask if homeowner's/renter's will cover.
