Porsches parked under SUVs. This is EXACTLY why I don’t like Hyatt.

Meh, rich person’s status property damaged. At least nothing really bad happened.

Funny how the human mind can really suffer overflow failures.

Really? I would see that as a plus.

A Carrera soft top, no less. My second favorite Porsche (Targa being my favorite) as a car enthusiast. I still chuckled a bit, tho. At least it wasn’t a vintage Porsche.

Also, the car that is on top of the Porsche is a Subaru Crosstrek. It could probably have backed up onto the Porsche, so it makes sense that the Porsche could go under.

- This was not accidental in my book…the Porsche owner was probably a total prick to the valet and the valet did it on purpose.
- The Porsche had it coming (see point one).
I do feel bad for the poor Subaru Crosstrek owner…ah well…collateral damages.
Eh. In for a penny, in for a pound. Once he hit the back of the Crosstrek, he might as well make his last day on the job memorable.
What? Like, by the Pope? I don’t know how many trucks I’ve been behind in traffic with bumpers well above the level of mine. Not all ground clearance levels are created equally.

I’m not sure this would have worked out so cleanly in a hard top–possibly the roof or windshield would have caved in. My understanding with convertibles is that the lack of a B pillar means that the A pillars are super, duper strong, enough to support the weight of the whole car if it flips. i.e., an entire car of weight can be held up basically by the windshield. This is also why convertibles are much heavier, because the removed B pillar means adding extra strength and rigidity to a lot of spots on the car compromised by the removal of the pillar.

Um, that’s just a little wagon with good clearance. We got my wife one like it, same color too.
It’s quite nice.

NO its NOT! Wagons are for wimps and beaten down hausfrou’s, crossover SUV’s are for virile people doing virile things! Even if for practical purposes they are just jacked up compact wagons. A large portion of the market isn’t even 4 or all-wheel drive.
When our Escort wagon died my wife wanted as similar as possible replacement but “wagons” were not to be found except for overpriced Subarus.

An old joke from back in my racing team days:
Q: What’s the difference between a porcupine and a Porsche?
A: A porcupine has pricks on the outside.

It’s got body-color stitching.
