Make yourself comfortable and enjoy these pictures, ranging from breathtaking natural phenomena to some pretty foolish human errors.

Sorry but Wtf car designers? Why would you put them anywhere near each other? Put the sunroof controls out of the way up near the sunroof.

With the latest cars, you won't have this problem. You already need to navigate through at least 3 menus on the touch screen to access the most common features. The rear window demist is on a totally different submenu than the sunroof. It only takes a few minutes to get to the correct submenu for each action.

Yeah... brush the snow off the roof. I always brush the snow off of the roof so it doesn't fly off and obstruct the view of someone behind me. This is karma.

In civilised countries - or countries populated by sentient beings - it's mandatory to clear your vehicle off snow before driving off.

Lol! I accidentally left my window down last year when we got the heavy snow. My driver side was covered in snow. Luckily it dried. I'd still rather deal with that than dust any time.

My first thought when this happened would not to sit there covered in snow and take a photo of it.

Alaska is the Land of the Midnight Su, which means that the sun is visible 24/7 in summer in Alaska. A lot of cars have sunroofs for use during summer!
