Holy crap!
Well, you know, sometimes secret societies just gotta use radioactive taggants to protect their stuff. Or you gotta get stuff back from Chernobyl, that sort of thing.
(Not where my nickname comes from, though, I assure you. )
A friend of mine just called. Snow pulled down her condo's carport and it landed on 7 out of 8 cars parked in that row. The 8th car was her 99 XJ8, which was one quarter inch too low in the trunk to be hit as the carport was being supported by the other cars on the row. She speculates that the other cars may have thrown themselves in front of the carport to save the Jag. but strange.
Low profile cars for the win.

Agreed, although it can be kinda hard for me to find my sort of low riding car in a parking lot thanks for "tall sedans", crossovers, and pickup trucks.
Seriously, i parked next to a Versa and was amazed how high the window sill on the Versa was compared to mine. Minivan hoods look nearly SUV massive when they are parked in front of me.
How can you lose an SL1? They're so goddamned ugly. I get the distinct feeling that all these tall cars these days owe it to side impact safety systems.

Soccer moms like have a commanding view of the word as they obliviously run over people and smash into other cars.
It might be a little more impressive if you look closely at the pics.
Hint: It started out the day as an 88 Kawasaki EX250.
