From the annals of dumb things people do when scared comes this photo snapped by a New York Daily News ('http://photos.nydailynews.com/621673895/518532299/hurricane-proof-your-car-hurricane-irene') reader.
Yes, it's a Land Rover wrapped in plastic and packing tape. I don't know whom to feel worse for — the misguided owners, or Land Rover for having customers who think their SUVs must be sheltered from storms by a jury-rigged hair bonnet.
Let's be clear here, New Yorkers — you are over-reacting. Also, not very smart.

This must be some joke, i don't think anyone can be this idiotic to think wrapping a car with plastic like they did will help in a HURRICANE.

Some people these days make me wonder lol

If I knew a hurricane was on it's way, and I had to protect my Evoque or any car for that matter, I would find myself the biggest parkade, park it and walk away lol
