Notice anything.....funny?

Was at the mall today with work and I saw this CL in the parking lot. It's a camera phone pic so it's not that great, but can you see something out of place?

That would be ice/snow, not a dent. Notice the other car has snow on it as well.

Why not? I've seen those little uhaul trailers hooked up more then a few times. I also have a friend w/ a first gen that tows his bike to the track I don't think a 3.0 would have a hard time at all towing 1,000 lbs

Ice does.... and I do believe I said "ice" in my post. The area in question is also white/lightly colored and raised. Follow the contour from the window down.... it doesn't match.

Nice attempt at being smart, CLPower. You'll get em next time.

If there ain't ice on the top, or any of the other cars I definately doubt that's snow/ice sticking to the sides . Since there is no snow on the car, that'd also leave me to believe it wasn't parked there overnight and had been out and around that morning (proven by the fact it's tire tracks go OVER the snow already on the ground), thus leaving the possibility of ice pretty slim.





nice try though anotherlevel, you are a smart one

Could be a bike rack that is mounted by the mini-trailer hitch.

It has to be a 3.0 because a 2.x couldn't tow anything at all




...and the 3.0 vs. 2.x debate continues
