10News.com reports that someone used a heavy-duty construction loader to drop a 1966 Chevy Nova through a Vista, CA store’s roof. Firefighters discovered the car while investigating a tripped alarm at the industrial park. California Sliding Door Window and Screen suffered water damage from a water line broken by the falling car. The red Nova was parked in the lot next to the building before it was used as a hole punch. “You don’t see a call like this, uh, very often,” said a police officer at the scene. In an associated video, 10News reporter Juliette Vista refers to onlookers as “lookie loos,” and gets this quote from a bystander at the scene: “Either it was a really expensive prank, or somebody’s mad at someone.” Someone’s been watching CSI; you know, other than me.

Viva la Killdozer!

Hopefully, it was badge engineered Nova or at least a 70s model. The first generation Nova with the 327 rocked!
What a waste of a perfectly good 66 Nova.
In other news, San Diego police said they had received a number of calls about a 30-foot tall ape in a Mopar T-shirt wandering in the downtown area.
I’d be looking for a recently dismissed employee of the establishment.
My father once had a late ’70s 4th Generation model Chevy NOVA coupe. It was white with a red interior
powerpeecee: You meant Twisted Sister.
Wow, that’s just… wow. It would have been even more clever to place it on the roof and not have it fall through, so that the business owners would have to get the damn thing down again without destroying anything.
poor nova…
Back in the day, a high-school buddy who lived across the street from me had a sharp-looking ‘70-ish Nova SS in black. It looked (sort of) like this one.
He had an aftermarket stereo in it, and I’ll never forget the song he would have blasting whenever he gave me a ride to school.
He’d slam through the gears and along with the roar of the V8 engine, I’d hear:
If I gave you everything that I owned
And asked for nothing in return
Would you do the same for me as I would for you
Or take me for a ride
And strip me of everything, including my pride
But spirit is something that no one destroys
And the sound that I’m hearing is only the sound
Of the low spark of high-heeled boys
Low Spark of High Heeled Boys, by the English band, Traffic.
Written by Jim Capaldi and Steve Winwood, it was released in 1971.
The title refers to an inscription written by actor Michael J. Pollard in band member Jim Capaldi’s book while they were both in Morocco. Capaldi and Pollard were planning to work on a movie that was never filmed. Capaldi said:
Pollard and I would sit around writing lyrics all day, talking about Bob Dylan and the Band, thinking up ridiculous plots for the movie. Before I left Morocco, Pollard wrote in my book ‘The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys.’ For me, it summed him up. He had this tremendous rebel attitude. He walked around in his cowboy boots, his leather jacket. At the time he was a heavy little dude. It seemed to sum up all the people of that generation who were just rebels. The ‘Low Spark,’ for me, was the spirit, high-spirited. You know, standing on a street corner. The low rider. The ‘Low Spark’ meaning that strong undercurrent at the street level.
Anyway, a Nova SS from those days are expensive cars now.
Wasn’t the term ‘lookie loo’ used to describe some sort of con in the “Ocean’s Twelve” movie?
I think it had to do with observers crowding around a celebrity look-a-like….hmmm.
