Description An icelocked car in the parking lot of my old apartment building the day after it burned down.

Kids, this is what happens when your car is next to a 3 alarm apartment fire that burns for 15 hours in -23 degree weather. This car is now a write-off.

Huh? The car couldn't be started or anything afterwards?

The weight of the ice would have done enormous damage to the frame and totally wrecked the suspension.

Wow... Is it really a write-off "just" due to the ice? Beautiful in its own way though...

Yea, that amount of ice on a car pretty much destroys it, too.

We had a really warm winder until about a week ago where the sky suddenly dumped 15cm on us. It was pretty unexpected.

If you call that luck. At least it's been above minus 20 most of the winter.

It's not too bad. It's a dry cold, so if you cover up it's pretty manageable.

Ive seen something like this when close to a block of buildings that were all connected burned down and there were about 3 cars like this, trees snapped off and power lines snapped because of all the ice. that car is now a parts car.

Aaaah, I miss seeing all those icicles back when I lived in Moscow; I always found such a fun game of kicking them off the car. c:

Sucks to hear what happened, though :c

And thanks. It did give me an opportunity to take some amazing pictures though.
