    Visiting my brother in Omaha, NE last night. They had a storm move in. I put my car in his garage. About 10 minutes later golf ball size hail started to fall and it moved up to softball size. Cars parked outside had windshields smashed. It was a mess around town. I can imagine what car dealerships are dealing with today. Hope no Primes were on their lots. Also, had a tornado the day before this event. Mother nature is a b**** lately.

    if someone made a car cover that could protect from hail, they'd sell like hotcakes.

    There are several types made, including inflatable and foam-filled.

    I'm hoping that along with the solar roof option in the near future, there will also be a force field option. It might also help with thieves and vandals.
