You're a long way from shelter. You're out on the prairie in Texas, & there're no underpasses to hide under. The sky is ominous & you hear the ping of hail. Here's my plan.
Open the hood, sunroof & deck lid. Oh, it's best to first pull over and stop the car first. You've now minimized the surfaces that hail can damage by 60%. Cover the exposed part of the roof with the front floor mats. Cover the horizontal portion of the raised deck with the rear floormats. Now sprawl your bod across the front seats to cover the console & listen to the CD until the storm passes. So what if the engine bay's covered in ice?....it needed a good cleaning anyway.
You say your back is bruised & bloody? Something to post about in the Mod forum.
Glad to be of service.
