For those of you worried about hail damage...
Last night I was watching Leno and counting the days until Hillary Duff turns 18. Then it started raining outside. It sounded really loud for just rain, so I went outside to check it out. Sure enough there was hail mixed in with it and it sounded horrible bouncing off the car. I stepped out from under the porch to find out how big it was and a couple of pieces nearly knocked me out. It was about quarter sized hail and was falling really fast and hard. Since it was too dark to check for damage, I went back inside and went to bed. This morning I scanned the car and the glass roof held up perfectly and I couldn't find a single dent anywhere on the car.
Just a heads up for those of you who might be curious as to how it holds up.

I am super paranoid about hail. So much so, that I've been known to stay home from somewhere I wanted to go, and leave my car parked safely in the garage if it looks like we might get one of those evening thunderstorms that are common during the summer. Just the thought of hail ruining my car/paint is enough to make me half sick. Yeah, I know insurance will cove it, but I have a deductable and who wants all that hassle anyways.

It even hails here in Hawaii, along with an occasional tornado, tsunami, hurricane, earthquake - you name it. Good to hear though that a good sized hail storm won't bother a tc. My 06 should be coming in this week.

what insurance do you have?? My jeep got hailed once... USAA replaced my windshield, and repainted the roof and hood. My deductable was $500, but since I am friends witha guy at the body shop, he basically did it for me for what USAA cut me a check for.
