Default Oh no, it might hail tomorrow!

I have to keep my new 350z outside for another week or so, and I just learned it might hail tomorrow. Should I go get a cover for it or something? Would that even protect it from hail? What should I do?

Hope it doesn't hail... I seriously doubt large hail would be stopped by a car cover.

You could always throw a couple of old comforters on top of the car, then put a car cover over those. You'd have to have pretty big hail to hurt the car with that much protection.

Where are you in IN that they are calling for hail?

I'm in Brownsburg. I don't remember the specific area they said, but I just heard hail when I was watching the local forecast on wthr and now I'm scared. Unless it's changed or something.
