So the wife was driving the LX this morning....

...when she had to go visit a client in Downtown LA on Wilshire. No parking on the street so she goes into the parking garage to pay their $20/15 mins ridiculous parking rates. Well when you enter the garage it says 6'8". No problem. We took off the ConFer after SnT so the truck is only 6'3". So she proceeds.

Can't find a spot on the first level, she drives down, past the second level. Past the third level and finally arrives to the 4th level. As she is negotiating a turn she said she heard a horrible noise and then a sound like something banging on the rear hatch.

She gets out and lo and behold! The roof rack was ripped right off the roof. She looks over and see a small sign:

'6'1" Max Headroom'

......hidden by a minivan parked illegally right in front of it.

So anyway, she says that the rack is off and she can't see any scrapping on the roof at all. What I am really worried about is how much damage the nutserts getting pulled out of the roof will actually have. We'll see tonight.
