Now do you f-ckers see why I say you shouldn't be exposing an F-Body to the winter elements? It's not just because I'm Canadian and we have terrible winters up here.

Yes, let's totally overlook the fact that the retarded home owner allowed that much **** to build up on his house, and then when he parks his porsche inbetween two houses when the weather warms up and... common sense says "Frozen water on top of a house has to go somewhere" and he parks it in perfect position to be smashed. That's just not using your head... If he would've parked 5 feet further up his driveway infront of his garage, he would've been fine, but instead he parked in a stupid spot...

In any case though, that ******* sucks and that is a **** LOAD of ice that built up on top of that house... Shouldn't people in a winter state know better? I mean, we go up and unclog our gutters.. but yet they let all that crap build up on their roofs?

Yes, and I'm sure you would have overanalyzed the situation to death so much so that you could have foreseen something like that. Give me a break.

And as far as cleaning the roof off, I'd like to see you climb up onto the roof of your house when it is icy. So if you hit ice, whee, you fall off your house. Let's totally overlook THAT fact, too.

I live in a province that gets more snow than it does a summer season, and even we don't climb onto our roofs to clean the ice off. Quit talking out your ***.
