So I'm at school here in ok so no garage and wide out in the open. They're calling for golf ball sized hail. I have a cover but it's for the dust and sunlight/heat-too thin for hail. I've read people put their car mats upside down on the car and then the cover over?! What do you guys without garages do . Maybe old clothes or blanets under?Chances are if it's really bad tonight I will sleep in the car in a parking garage lol. No questions asked

 

nothing like that here in socal.

 

I would do parking garage, or car wash. But if the weather gets that bad... parking garage over possibly flimsy car wash.

 

you can always get a couple huge *** blankets and tape them under the car cover for a stonger layer? lol just saying.

 

I'd recommend parking it in a public parking garage as far in as you can. It's your best bet.

 

^ parking garage or car wash. I've been stationed in Oklahoma for the past 8 years. Im deployed right now, but my G is in the garage... Hopefully it's just a warning and nothing happens. Best of luck!

 

yeah i dont think it even hailed? anyways i went with foam padding on the hood under my car cover and...im ashamed of this next part..cardboard boxes for the rest of the car lol..i ran out of padding halfway through. ghetto as hell? yes. hail damage? no

 

trust me that was plan B. lol

 

Good ideas!

 

So did it hail lol???

 

Couldn't tell ya lol
I was asleep. Pretty sure it just rained ha

 

nahhh it didnt hail lol. you know how oklahoma is, they say itll have baseball size hail but it doesnt. I was at work freaking out but knew it wasnt going to do anything besides rain. Ive had my share of hail damage tho.. that i couldnt of done anything about since it was at the dealership. =(

 

ha yeah its wild around here. personally i cant wait to get back home to jersey in a week. ill miss the friendly people though!

 

i am not gonna lie.. but if I knew there was a big *** hail storm coming, I'll drive towards it..

my car is old.. I like it.. it's in good condition.. but it would get totaled for sure after a hailstorm...

Say the car is worth $8k now.. if a hail storm comes, insurance will give me $8k to total it and probably ask me if I want to buy it back for $2k...

i dont mind driving a $2k car that has golf ball paint job for $6k profit.. I'll probalby drive this car til it dies any ways...

 

^ little extreme but ok lol...
I'll just stick with my cardboard boxes and painters tape ha
