I dunno about you, but that'd be enough reason for me.

I'm used to seeing falling ice here in the NE, but I can't imagine HUGE blocks of ice falling from the roof!

Ouch People should not even be allowed to have a nice car if they can't afford a house with a garage

Forget the car good thing the owner wasn't standing there when it happened. He has insurance to get that fixed.

LOL! I doubt that. There are more than a few other cold places in the states where that could happen and has happened.

The problem that I see is that the guy parked next to the house rather than further up or back in the driveway. That way when the ice slid off the roof it would have only hit the concrete and not the car.

Whoever parked it there was an idiot. And if it was the owner, I hate to say he deserved it.

That's a complete tragedy and it could have been avoided with common sense. A car like that should not even be in those conditions, much less parked under an avalanche.

Unless that is his beater daily driver and he keeps the Ferrari and Lamborghini in the garage Just Kidding. Seriously though, I know a few people with exotic daily drivers. If only I were so rich.
