A 2016 Honda Civic in Philadelphia\u2019s Fishtown neighborhood has officially become the coldest ride in town\u2014mostly because it\u2019s currently a 3,000-pound ice cube. After a water main break on North Front Street, the car was transformed into a frozen monument, drawing crowds of curious onlookers.<\/p>\n

A Chilling Discovery<\/p>\n

Owner Tianna Graham left her car near a six-inch water main break on Wednesday. When she returned, she found her vehicle behind caution tape and under several inches of “natural” glaze.<\/p>\n

“I was definitely in shock,” Graham said. The ice is so thick it has completely sealed the doors and windows, leaving the car “n-ice” and stuck. Talk about a “freeze” on your assets!<\/p>\n

Photos of the frozen Honda quickly slid across social media, turning Graham\u2019s misfortune into a neighborhood festival.<\/p>\n

“I feel bad for that person, do they know that their car’s there?” asked\u00a0someone online.<\/p>\n

Despite the cold reality, Graham is keeping her cool. “I’ve looked through some of the comments, they’re pretty funny,” she said, noting that people even photoshopped parking tickets onto the ice. “I thought that was pretty funny, honestly.”<\/p>\n

Waiting for the Thaw<\/p>\n

While the Water Department has fixed the leak, the Civic remains on ice until a tow truck arrives on Monday. Neighbors are flocking to see the “art installation” before it melts away.<\/p>\n

“It’s actually crazier than I thought,” said visitor Brooke Freeman. “I’ve never seen anything like this before.” As for Graham, she\u2019s taking the “ice-olation” of her car in stride. “It’s funny, I can’t help but laugh at it too. It’s just, what can you do about it?”<\/p>\n

Football movies work because the game is a perfect pressure cooker for drama. Whether it\u2019s a coach trying to hold a locker room together or an underdog fighting for a single play on the field, these stories usually end up being about way more than just what happens between the whistles. They\u2019re about ego, community, and those “get up off the dirt” moments we all wish we had in real life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 2016 Honda Civic in Philadelphia\u2019s Fishtown neighborhood has officially become the coldest ride in town\u2014mostly because it\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":102900,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[49833,242,69,71,70],"class_list":["post-102899","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-2dorks","tag-articles","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102899","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=102899"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102899\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/102900"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=102899"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=102899"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=102899"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
