    Wow! I hate sunroofs. If I buy a car with one, I check that it works before I buy it, then it's never opened again.

    Never heard of the car. It certainly blooms like Blackmagicfu##ery the way it just sits there balanced on two wheels.
    Check out the description for a link to it's restoration and how the gyroscope does it stuff.

    Looks like someone dropped a very small speedboat on top of a motorcycle and then gave it training wheels.

    Seriously cool, though. Now all our car innovation is "more batteries!" or wireless phone integration.

    Was there an impact to the glass?

    I never use sunroofs (too pale ), but generally buy cars with them because they sell. My superwagon has a pano sunroof that covers most of the roof, I had my tint guy black it out so the interior of the car is darker/cooler.

    Not unless something fell out of the sky. I was driving home from the store ~ 6:30am and I heard the loud Pop.

    Took me a min to figure out that it was the sunroof, it wasn't until I heard the crackling of the glass above me.

    Wow, I've never heard of anything like that happening before.

    I love sunroofs, though. If I'm in a fixed roof car, I've basically got to have one.

    I got it fixed today. The glass tech said it was probably just the heat.....who knew?
