    Check the link again. I used one of the OP's local zip codes 78560 as the starting point for "nearest".

    You typoed. 78560 is in Texas. You meant 28560, I assume

    Try this.

    Meh, the US is tiny. We did the NYC to CO drive in 28.5 hours of driving over a single weekend. Flew out Saturday morning leaving DEN at 7am, landing in LGA at noon, bought the car by 6pm Saturday in NJ, dinner in PA at 8pm, On the road at 9:30pm. Stopped around 7am/8am in Indianapolis for a short break, then powered through and got back to CO at 2am.

    Got a huge discount and deal plus it was exactly what we wanted. If you're not willing to spend 1 weekend to purchase a vehicle that you will most likely keep for a while and be in every day, then there is really no need to complain that they won't budge by a couple thousand dollars on the price.

    The RX450h was totaled by hail. Along with close to $250k worth of damage to the house down there. It made world news! :eek:

    So we got another RX450h.

    Hail at Colorado's Cheyenne Mountain Zoo kills 2 animals, harms guests

    When it's the size of a softball and traveling at over 100mph, not much you can do. Destroyed most windows, all skylights, almost all the roof, took out chunks of the solid wood siding. Split a log of the split-rail fence in half, shattered satellite dishes, left actual holes in the metal garage door, split tile in the bathrooms that after the skylight broke (2 panes of glass and a pane of plastic each) it was hailing directly onto the tile. BBQ looks like it was dropped off a cliff, mailbox has a hole in it, etc.

    Nope. First time in that area in recent times because the mountain usually shields the storms until it gets 10-15 miles away from the mountain. But it's pretty common. Just a few miles away the organization my mom works for had a close to $80million insurance claim for damage to their buildings from a previous hailstorm. This is the fourth big hail storm for the summer in that area. It's getting worse... Anyone with a few brain cells to rub together knows why.

    That's why I only replace with 10 year shingles where we live...and they usually don't last that long. Lowered our deductible after the first hit...one year after moving into our new build. Wildfires, mudslides, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding, lightning, ect...almost every where people live you have to deal with something.

    we have a hurricane rarely, a few tropical storms over the years, a blizzard every now and then, but extremely rare to cause the kind of damage your disasters do. but the biggest disaster is that we only have a few nice days a year.:whistle:

    I live in North Carolina as well—I drove to Jim Coleman Toyota in Bethesda Maryland back in April 2018 to buy my 2017 Adavanced Blue Magnetism. They were dealing—$3,000 rebate and over $2000 off sticker. Good luck.
