i remember seeing that video. we've had a few hail storms in my area recently. luckily, each time my car was garaged. my buddy's RS4 had intense hail damage with golf ball sized hail about a month ago. and the aluminum didn't help much...

Many. Fairly commonplace in North Texas, where I grew up, and I saw a few smaller storms in Central Cali when we lived there. The ones in Texas could be brutal... I've seen golf-ball sized hailstones and larger.

Btw, largest hailstone on record was found last month:

http://blogs.woodtv.com/2010/07/30/w...d-hailstone-2/

"8.0 inches in diameter, 18.625 inches in circumference, and weighed in at an amazing 1.9375 pounds!"

Luckily the few I have been in involved pea or pebble sized hail, and it didn't last more than 15 minutes. Each time I worried my car would take a beating. The worst of it was the headlight housing getting a bit dinged up.

Yup and each time my car has been outside. Luckily no damaged but holy hell are they the scariest thing to try and go thru if you are a car guy

I was driving one day and it started raining marbles, made me pretty nervous about dings in the M but they were small enough that they didn't damage anything.
