I'd be getting a prop underneath that displaced roof beam before even thinking about sweeping the floor!

The car can be replaced. I just hope no one was injured when the roof caved in....

Apollo wheels. 19x8 / 19x9

I have always liked that style.

I just had to start laughing out loud with this one. Here we have a partial roof collapse on a car (although damage does not look all that bad) and someone is asking about the style of the wheels--priceless

Not surprising to me. The wheel is the most attractive thing in that picture.

And yeah, I got those on my 04 so I may be slightly opinionated.

"Ooh, Apollos..."

Yep, my first thought too. Followed by, "why are they sweeping when the building is still close to collapsing?" and "a tornado in Boston?".

Are the XK8 and XKR as unreliable as the XJS?
