Notice to all don't park your BMW near the water at low tide.

I'm sure this car will show up as a used car shortly with "light water damage"

Wow. I guess the 50/50 weight balance only applies to terra firma.

I'm surprised no one is demanding a recall since a BMW should be able to withstand high tide.

Big high tides catch a lot of people out here too; there's a car park on the beach.
The worst casualty was a nice Corvette a while back.

How did that happen? Looks like a clean cut with a chainsaw. Was the driver just chillin in his car with his baby watching someone cut down a tree? That makes no sense.

EDIT: Nevermind, maybe the tree fell on his car first and the firefighters tried to cut the tree in an attempt to move the rest of it off the car.

Here's another sad one. A couple died when a tree fell on their moving car. How bad can your luck get?
