How do you "de-ice" a 911?

I've heard of de-icing planes, but not cars. We don't see this much in Phoenix.

Still funny though. What gets me is the vw cabrio from 86 (~$4K?) and an old grand cherokee (~$16-17K?) being listed as luxury cars. THe pcar, I can understand.

Seriously though, what kind of damage do you think that would do to the car?

That picture has to get the award for the most posted picture of all time on this board. I think I have seen it five times now!

Asuming the water froze as it hit the car, it doesn't look like it did too much damage. It looks like the ice is supporting itself and not putting all of it's weight on the car. Once it melts though, that big chunk of ice on the top of the car would be the last to melt, and leave a lot of weight on the top of the car where it could dent it pretty bad.
