Well - yesterday afternoon was quite the experience.  All of a sudden - the clouds rolled in off the mountains and there was a thunderous noise and it started hailing like something I have never seen.  The hail were as large as quarters and so hard - it was like being bombarded by thousands of golf balls.  I was taking it all in - when all of a sudden, I realized in horror, that my car was being pelted with these golf balls.   I had such a sinking feeling that it was being destroyed.  The hail was so strong I couldn't even run outside to see what damage was being done.  Many things went through my mind - would my insurance cover the damage, can the ding wizard get these out....how bad is my car going to look?  Then after about ten minutes of freaking out... I started laughing thinking I would look like Chevy Chase's Vacation rolling back into Miami with a thousand dings in my car.  Once it finally stopped.....it looked like it had snowed there was so much hail on the ground - and sure enough - not a dent in my car - that good old strong German metal hung tough!!!
