rain and hail

I got caught in a thunderstorm today. I was about a mile from my car when it started.The sky got dark purple so I knew something was up. I didn't mind getting wet. As a matter of fact, the raindrops felt rather invigorating. Then it started to hail and I got worried; not about me but my little nine-year-old car was out in the open. What to do? I decided to chance it and make my way back home. I swear the hailstones were marble-sized, not huge but I have never been in a car while they were shooting down all around me. By the time I reached my garage, the sky was blue again and it looks my car withstood any damage... all the more reason why I love it!
