Narrative:

On rollout dfw 18L, tower directed turnoff on high speed 35. There was a station wagon (airport utility) parked in the middle of high speed, not talking to anyone. We refused turn-off and went through intersection to next turn-off. Station wagon was still parked there, not talking to anyone after we xed 32 bridge to east side. Tower supervisor said tower knew of station wagon.
