Boy DID I choose the wrong day for a cruise

I went to Best Buy to pick up a new router. It was a pleasant enough day although completely overcast.
Top down, windows up, and the freeway was fine at 80+, as everyone has decided to up the normal travel speed since Covid struck.
Anyway, I stopped before the trip home to raise the roof as I saw some lightning down the way towards home, and boy am I glad I did.
This clip shows the second collision I saw, the first was a single car into the fence on the right. The road surface got REAL treacherous, I even used my Snow Mode for the second time ever. The butt still wiggled a bit though, even at 30 mph.

Oh, and by the time I got TO cover, I'd have already been out of the mess anyway. Utah squalls only last a couple minutes.

When I leave town headed north the next overpass is about 140 miles away. And that is the closest one. South, East and West are much further.

Ha, I wouldn't stop either, that strategy is only when I am on a motorcycle. Plow forward at all times.

I certainly did NOT want hail damage again, especially on an aluminum-bodied convertible.

Rain I can deal with, it's the hail that is a concern. Three years ago we got a hail storm that damaged my house's roof and put holes in the house siding. Insurance paid out over $48,000 for those repairs. The entire Zip Code for here had roofers at nearly every house for over a year.

I enjoyed your video (especially the "Holy **** my ***" which gave me the real sensation of being right there

Nah, everyone around was going a reasonable speed, as was I. I had one moment of a loose rear end, but just a wiggle. I was mostly worried about metal or glass damage. It sure was loud inside with a canvas top though.

We get some crazy damaging hail here on occasion. One time I got caught in a hailstorm on the highway. It sounded so bad I thought the car was gonna be totaled. When we arrived at the destination, not a single ding. Seems in the car, it can sound worse than it actually is.
