Probably 15 or 20 minor dings.  $500 deductible.  '06 Infiniti G35x w/ 45k miles.  Do I really want to eff with this?  I'm probably going to drive it until the wheels fall off.

File the claim. If you don't think it's worth the trouble, reduce your coverage.

Go get an estimate and see if it will be worth it.

Now I'm not advocating insurance fraud or anything but I've been told that some shops may work with you on that deductable.  Definitely worth an estimate.

I have been told that you can pop out hail damage by putting your car out in the heat/sun on a hot summer day, then putting dry ice on it. 

Then, go to Vegas.
