After Denver got hit with a big snowstorm a couple weeks back, it seems that one of the employees at my local self-service yard couldn’t resist placing this addition to inventory atop an eight-foot heap of plowed snow. By now, the car has probably melted down to a more accessible level, but I’m sure some desperate parts hunter climbed the mountain when it was at full height.

Reminds me very much of the guy with the orange tennis ball on top of a very long radio antenna on his vw. This was in canada and the drifting snow would cover the cars. The ball made his car easy to find.
If it would have been able to melt the snow I think he might have had something more useful. It was real tough getting around. Our administrator had an International scout and was the most popular ride at the station.
The yard worker went to move the newly-arrived car to its allotted position.
Kitty was in the back sit with its brood.
Handled car with care then placed signs upon it warning of occupants.
The hard-core dregs of society; most of who “polite society” would view with dread or fear or disgust, spread the word and all held off selling or taking parts from that car.
Tasty morsels were tossed inside from various lunches, etc.
Mama kitty appeared content. A bedraggled dirty due to its environment fur-face.
Kittens grew then disappeared and mama returned to prowling the area.
Inventoried car and commenced selling parts.
And all lived ever-after.
Happily?
Likely disgruntled.
Kitty never commented but did “meeow” at us.
Reminds me of one thing I really like when I had my SUV : when shopping for Christmas or going to a restaurant and there’s no parking anywhere, I parked it on a snow pile as there was a convenient free space there. :D
MANY MANY years ago there was an airman we knew who had a Fiat 128 as his daily drive. There were huge mountains of snow at Pease AFB (part of the old SAC with FB-111 and KC-135 stationed there, now an ANG base) as they tend to build up in parking lots during the winter months across the United States. A group of us carried his 128 and put it on the top of the parking lot snow mountain, much like in the picture above.
When he came out a few hours later he was not amused – but we did carry it back down for him. That car weighed nothing!
“…but I’m sure some desperate parts hunter climbed the mountain when it was at full height.”
Do you really think someone would be cavalier enough to do that? (Myself, I would wait for the sun fire to melt the snow…)
LOL Muralee,
It looks like a Cavalier or one of its J car derivatives.
