Default weather today

listening to the radio this morning and it said we are going to get thunder storms, with giant hail mixed in. the presenters then went on to discus this and got on to saying that if the hail is big enough it could dent cars . what do you think? how big would they have to be to actually dent a car? my car is parked outside.
thats if we get this giant hail, as they are always wrong, but what if

I would.

Not for the safety aspect, but it'll proper confuse the kids when the hailstones come flying back up past the window
