ive seen this before

one year after the fourth of july i walk by my dads elcamino just outside the garage and on the hood sat a slug that had come down almost cut a hole in the hood when it came down..looked like it came staight down. ?????
he was really pissed ...glad it didnt hit a person but pissed about his car
oh,it was in a nice middleclass neighborhood...not where you think to find guns being shot off on the 4th of july. no telling where it came from

We were in Ft. Lauderdale, FL this past spring and came out to find a bullet lodged in the decklid of our rental car. It had to have been someone firing up into the air - it didn't puncture all the way through it was just stuck in the outer skin.

I'll have to dig up the pictures.......................

Sorry to hear about your damage.

throw some kevlar in with the carbon fiber hood, a new line of car products, Bullet proof hoods!!

actually about 1/8" thick carbon fiber while stop some smaller rounds.

spike tv has a show out called a 1000 ways to die. it had a similar situation where a guy fired a bullet in the air and it came down and killed some one a few miles away. i know we love our cars ,but luckly they can be fixed..

Get yourelf a pack of those fake bullet hole sticker to cover it up, then when someone questions you about it, tell them your covering up a bullet hole but those were nicer,pull it off to show them and then replace it till the next guy asks about nit

My dad was driving to work at 3 am one day, down a 2 lane highway in a '05 Ram quad cab, when he heard a loud bang. Turns out the truck got shot in the C pillar by what looked like a buck shot pellet. There was a wooded area around, but definately not hunting grounds...

He was very lucky... had he been a split second later, it probably would have come in the window. It was at head level.
