Watching the four-piece retractable top on the 2013 Lexus IS 350 C fold sleekly into the trunk was awesome. Certainly this marvel of engineering is not in the league of the Mars Lander’s Sky Crane, but is nearly so, right here on Earth, and several hundred million dollars less expensive. This chic luxury car was mine to experience for a week, and I had plans to enjoy topless adventures from the get-go.... Read More

While people probably plan for those events, we doubt everyone really plans for natural disasters. The east coast met with much destruction and tragedy when Hurricane Sandy rolled in, and vehicles certainly weren't spared.
