well, i dont know for the rest of mp3s living on the dallas area, but in the last 3 days there was some storms and lots of hail in some areas, my car received a double dosis of hail, kinda big, and yesterday when i was washing it... found like 7 dents... oh well, i guess theres no real protection from this unless u have a garage or covered parking at work, or constantly check the weather channel!
