Hail the size of golf balls reportedly damaged an estimated 5,000 cars in the span of 10 minutes Sunday at Mar del Plata, a beachside resort in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Since the huge hailstones were breaking car windows and denting car roofs, one man made a valiant–and rather hilarious–effort to protect the roof of his car.
