My guess is it is a result of a green horn driver. Bet Mom and Dad are very happy.

Uggg ... I drive by a 75 that's for sale (every day). With the last 2 Nor'Easters
that hit our area, the vintage - antique - C3 vette is totally covered in snow.
Now, the plow slop is starting to make it towards the car. I wish I had a relief
fund to rescue her.
