Have actually had cars freeze to the ground so solid that I broke the tire bead trying to get them free.

Me too, terribly disconcerting isn't it. Thankfully I didn't break the bead before it broke loose.
NYC has had a string of wintry weather recently and last week they started enforcing on side parking again and towing cars parked where they're not supposed to be. I watched a wrecker literally rip a Smart car rear axle right off. He hooked up to the front and both back tires were frozen up to the wheels. It didn't move easily so he went to rock it and the whole rear end separated from the car! The driver laughed and drove away dragging the thing down the street and left the whole rear end assembly and wheels sitting there. I was about to take a pic but a cop was standing there telling people to "move along" so I did. If it's still there when I go back to work on Wednesday I'll be sure to get a picture and post it.
