Going back in time - Chevy vs the Tornado - Chevy Wins New Pics
A few weeks (Dec 2015) ago the barn that my truck was stored -- was hit by a tornado. This afternoon we pulled out the Circuit Rider - I can now say Chevy is Tornado tuff. Chevy Wins.
Next is off to the body shop and repair the damage to the truck. As we like to say - we dodged a bullet.

They used a super big fork lift type of equipment - not sure of thee real term though -- the rental was $1200 per day.

Re: Chevy vs the Tornado - Chevy Wins

Re: Chevy vs the Tornado - Chevy Wins New Pics
Wow. Thank goodness you had proper insurance on that beauty. I might almost take the payout and drive it like it is...a tornado patina job! LOL!
Glad it survived.

Re: Chevy vs the Tornado - Chevy Wins New Pics
So have you given any thought to building an underground bunker to store it in?
