That's right. We hate the cold. Always freezing, can't have fun with your car, frost bite, doors frozen shut, etc.

So why don't we move where it's warmer? It's too hot. Sweating all the time, hard to breathe. Basically, we want to live in a mall. Where the temperature is always the same.

I was on the highway and pulled off onto the shoulder because the hail stones were so effing loud. My cowl looked like winter. Those stones must have gotten to be dime size, I was freaking out! Luckily not big enough to do any damage to the car.
Reminds me of the first year I owned my monte.

I could see the storm front coming. I was hoping to make it home before it started coming down. Or at least find some kind of cover. Coin-op car washes are great for that. But I couldn't find anything. As I hit the leading edge of the storm, hail starts coming down hitting my car. I pulled into a hotel parking lot and went to the side of the building that was getting the least amount of hail. They didn't have a canopy or anything with a roof. I sat in the car for what seemed like an eternity. Listening and watching hail bounce off my Monte. I was cringing the whole time. Half expecting my sunroof to be damaged. But the whole time I was thinking, I just bought the car and it's going to be written off by hail damage.
