Yeah, then you can have gimmicky plastic interiors that fall apart in 3 years and a transmission that's prone to failure. I know, I looked, since I have some issues with my 2016 F150.

Big hail like that (2.75") is usually very localized, unfortunately we both got caught parked outside at our respective offices, fortunately the house was 4 miles or so away and only got little pea sized hail. My wife's car was totaled, mine only had $9k in damage.

We all have our crosses to bear.... I wish my truck would fit into the garage, where I was very accustomed to parking my Civic, but alas, no way it'll fit.
What we have in Houston is hurricanes and flash floods, despite a drainage system that's probably the best in the country. You cannot do much when you get 52" of rain in 2 days.

I would think that even something like thick moving blankets alone would probably prevent the damage. Could make a "car cover" entirely of thick moving blanket material, roll it up and you could deploy it in seconds.

Great in theory. Being from Kansas, any storm with hail will include heavy wind (30-70mph) and heavy rain. Not only will that "blanket" get blown off it would be drenched and take forever to dry out. I may build a "carport" for my truck as it too tall for my garage and I prefer my wife to park in the garage anyway. I have a low deductible on my insurance for a reason.

Yep, Wyoming is a terrible, unlivable place... tell everyone you know.
