Yeah, let me just conjure one of those up out of thin air real quick... Oh, apartments don't always even offer garages? Or even covered parking? Oh. Not to be condescending or anything but not really a solution there, chief.

^ I'm in the same boat. Last hail storm I drove my car to work and parked in one of our warehouses. Spent the night sleeping in the car until the storm went away.

Could you cover the car in flannel comforters or something?

 There are several "hail protection" car covers on the market, but this one brought to mind that a simple double wide, camping type, air mattress might do in a pinch.  humfrz |

I'm not sure what a "hail strom" is, but it sounds really, really bad to have one fall on any car!
 I'm glad we don't have hail stroms falling on cars around here. I'd be terrified. |

Yeah, well, sorry about that. I don't want to seem mean.
Those images on Google from that link really does look terrifying, and I really am glad that doesn't happen around here. We don't get buckets falling from the sky, either. |

Ah, I guess my brain auto-corrected that for me. >.<
Also, speaking of buckets falling from the sky: http://media.10news.com/photo/2013/0....0_640_480.jpg |
