Snorkels on vehicles
There's an SUV that's been parking outside my house recently, and it looks like something that suzzer would drive to Patagonia. It's got extra gas cans strapped to the top, some sort of cargo carrier, big ol' spotlights that would blind an elk, and most importantly a snorkel.

Has anyone ever had a vehicle with a snorkel, and did you ever find yourself in a situation where you used it? I like them a lot and am considering putting a decorative snorkel on my BMW just to make it look even more cool.

I have an Xterra and have the same problem here in Honolulu. The high point on the roof rack is 6'3". I've run into several parking garages in the 6'0"- 6'2" range. Mine is stock too. In one garage we can go up to the 4th floor, but any higher and it scrapes. When we go into town to a place I don't know I always drive my wife's car just in case.

Our big shopping mall here had to close down half of their main parking garage entrance for several weeks because someone drove a tall vehicle in and nailed a support beam. It apparently took quite a while to fix it.

I wonder how the costs worked on that. Did the person in the tall vehicle have to pay for it? Does insurance cover damage to a multi-story parking garage from wedging your SUV in it?

I debated on installing one on one of my ATV's at one point for deeper creek crossings, but ultimately decided against it. I get into enough trouble on these things without something like that.

Not yet bud, the weekend got crazy so I didn't make it up there yet. I'm going to go take a look on Tuesday when the mechanics are there and I can have them rack it for me.

i'm mainly talking about the guy who puts all that shit on his car to drive it to the office everyday and thats it
So it sounds like I should find somebody else to put the snorkel on my BMW.

That would indeed be one of a kind.

In my case I had a 2007 Ram 2500 that just barely fit in my old garage that had 6’6” clearance. I then bought a new version of the same truck, but the new one has satellite radio. Well, the little satellite antenna dingus sticks up above the roof just a little bit. So the new truck is just under 6’ 6 7/8” so I was just barely too tall thanks to that stupid antenna! That’s when I realized how many of the garages around were too short. I don’t park in a lot of garages, but am always paranoid about going into new ones. You never know how well they measured. I like to play safe and allow a few inches for error. I don’t want to be the guy with the truck wedged in the parking garage!

You hit it you own it unless they had a sign saying the height was taller than it really is.

Taking out a support beam in a parking garage? Must have been pushing it?. We did that in the 80's in midtown KC Noise was deafening.

You wouldn't be the first person to notch a "v" into the header.

Maybe you would

You have never seen how fast you could get from the roof/ basement to the exit in a parking garage in the early morning without sideswiping a wall or support?
You have missed some of the best fun you can have in a car.

Just like 50 pct of truck/SUV drivers are women and none of them are using their 4X4.
