Alert reader Andrew has a tale from the road:

I was driving along I-694 eastbound in Maple Grove on Friday and noticed something strange in front of me.  It turned out to be a Toyota Camry with what looked like rain gutters sticking out the passenger-side front window.

As both he and I were in the right lane to exit onto 169 north, the gutters decided to give way and fold backwards, threatening to be pulled out of the car and strewn along the road.  I snapped some pictures as we were both on 169, after he had pulled the gutters back inside his car a bit.  Keep in mind, he was going at freeway/highway speeds with flimsy sheet metal sticking ~4 feet out the side of his window.

You know, side streets were invented for a reason.
