Since quite a few of you seem to have an idea that some cars would have withstood those hefty grown up set of 4 on the roof let me tell you I really doubt that. And here is why. Many suggested that an Amby can withstand that. The answer is NO it can not... and thats first hand experience speaking. As a kid when I lived in Kanpur one day I heard a loud thud outside the house. It was more like "dddhuppppp... pataaaaak". I came out and saw what had happened. The amby which had come from the office to pick my neighbor up (we lived in a Min. of Defence estate) was parked under a tree. A rotund monkey decided to take a fall from the tree directly on the roof of the car. And that left a huge dent, more like a crater on the roof of the amby. The poor driver who had gone to call my neighbor came back and was standing next to the car with a completely bewildered expression on his face.

So there... the amby could not take a monkeys weight. Anyhow, the roof is the single largest piece of sheet metal without any support to prop it up. The moral being, any cars roof will not be able to avoid a dent if people decide to sit on it rather than inside.
