However...

We had some thunderstorms on Wednesday, and apparently my lightweight design was a little too light. We had wind gusts of about 70mph, and one of them spun up directly rearward of the truck. The cap was blown up and over the truck, landed on the hood, destroyed my bug deflector, gouged the paint, and banged up the cap a bit. I now have a hole about the size of a soccer ball on the driver's side of the cap... I'd post pics but at this moment I'm too heartbroken.
That storm damage sucks! Hopefully insurance will help. (fingers crossed)
