How would you like to try and get that car started?

There must be at least a ton of extra weight on that poor car.
Look at the compression on the springs...

I think they'll have problems with bent panels and the like as the ice would way a fair bit.

It's gotta be at least 2" thick over the whole vehicle....

Anyone have a couple of gallons of de-icer? Maybe you just need to get through the drivers door?

A couple days after Takza posted that image, my sister emailed me several more! They appear to be in Europe or something, there was a VW van totally coated, and more cars on the bridge...I tried to find out where she got them but they came from a guy who got them from a guy etc. I wanna know how it happened! I suppose wind blowing the water around, and freezing temps?

That's a Porsche Boxter. See? Even rich people get screwed sometimes...

Just imagine - water would've collected in all the door jambs, weatherstripping, and any joints or seams. Once the water froze, I bet it caused some damage. That roof will probably never work right again.
I almost look forward to winter now...

Well no, maybe it's not a Boxter. Looks expensive, though. At least it was.
