Default This Sucks!!

I dont know if this really fits in this thread, but it will definatly mess up my cars appereance if it happens. I go to school in York, NE and there is a likely chance of large hail tonight and tomorrow!! And the worst part is that here at school i don't have any overhangs to park under, so i tried to park under the biggest tree i could, hopefully that will shield it some....this totally sucks!!!

We got a little hail here this morning.

On a side note, my gf is from York, and she would love your car. She has a thing for Silver SS's.

I've done the same thing (parking under a tree). But that also means the hail can beat sticks and branches off onto the car... lose lose situation! We always run the cars to the bank if it's afterhours, since their lanes are covered.

How about cover your car in a car cover and park under a tree. You should get better protection that way. Its just a guess. I haven't tried it.

It's hailing now and I don't have anywhere to put my car either.

I move in to a new place on saturday, where I will finally have a garage. But that doesn't help me now!

Dammit life sucks.

I watched the weather and there is a line of storms to my east and west and im right in the middle. And, it looks like they are almost going straight north north east, so i might luck out and it might miss York!
