Actually, I drove mine through a really bad storm once. I had a CAI at the time. Hail was bouncing off my car, you can here it pop loudly off the metal panels. It was so bad that everyong pulled over on the highway and stopped under bridges. I couldn't find a spot under a bridge so I had to keep driving to the next exit. It was one of the worst days of my life. I was sooo worried about hydrolocking and I thought my car would have a million dings for sure. After the storm settled, I went out to check for dings. Luckily, I didn't find any dings on my car. I was soooo happy afterwards. I was also shocked that the aluminum hood held up to the storm.
