[MBZ] heard a cool sound this morning

2009-01-13 Thread Wonko the Sane
When I left for work this morning, outside air temp was -8F. Because my
garage is insulated, the temp gauge in my 300E said +28F when I started the
car.

On my one mile drive to work, kept hearing this rapid snap, crackle  pop
from the car roof. Almost like someone was eating Rice Crispies up there.
The water droplets (garage must have actually been warmer than +28F) on my
car instantly freezing and expanding as I motored on down the snow-covered
highway.

Don't remember ever hearing anything like that before.

My 240D has picked up a bunch of new rattles from all the ice hanging on the 
outside of the car, it also sounds sometimes like a door is slightly open from 
the wind catching the ice..
