As the spring thaw starts in Saskatchewan, two cars are starting to emerge from a massive pile of snow in a parking lot in the north end of Regina..The cars are in the parking lot of an old Sears store that is now a vacant building..A man who said he owns the cars told CTV News that he was informed to move the vehicles a few weeks before the parking lot becomes a winter snow dump..However, the owner became ill and ended up staying in the hospital. So, the cars were not moved before the snow was dumped on them..The building’s current owners are the Dilawri brothers, who founded the Dilawri Group of Companies, including several vehicle dealerships in Regina..A Regina auto body mechanic Adrian Winterhalt said that the cars probably have significant damage. Still, the full extent will not be known until all the snow melts..“The hood and the roof could definitely be damaged as well as the windshield with that much weight, there’s also a chance the suspension could be damaged,” said Winterhalt..There’s a good chance the vehicles will not start if water leaked into the computer system, fuse box, or engine..“If they tried to tow them out still partially buried, there’s a good chance the pressure from the snow would do lots of damage to the roof, hood, and windshield if it hasn’t already,” said Winterhalt.
