Default Hey Nashville, Help

My wife is taking the Vette today to Lake Cumberland KY. It looks like the storm currently in Nashville is heading her way. Is there HAIL. Hate the rain. Dirt washes off. BUT, hail is forever. Thanks in advance for your help.

I've been in my car in hail....not so bad, just noisy! The composite doesn't dent!

Thanks for the reassurance. This paint is so dam soft that's amazing.

Don't be afraid to hide out in the nearest parking garage for a while until the storm passes. Not only is it safer for the car, but you're off the road with all the panicky-crazies, too.

We've been having some pretty strong thunderstorms the last few days - complete with hail - in Middle Tennessee. Whether your wife gets hit by one is anybody's guess.
