OT: Snow Removal From Your Car Before Driving

I'll always take the bitter cold over oppressive heat. 5 degrees is nothing a good winter jacket can't fix, if you're going to be out in it for a while mittens/gloves and a winter hat fix it.

There's nothing you can do about 111 degrees other than sit in central AC. Shorts and a t-shirt/shirtless/naked outside ain't going to fix that.

A few close Chicago friends of mine moved to Chandler several years ago. They seem to like it a lot but they're always doing stuff outdoors early in the morning because of the heat.

Meanwhile my mom reached out to me this morning that she has no heat in Connecticut and the oil guy can't get down the tiny incline driveway so there's always drawbacks to the weather.

Yea there are drawbacks everywhere. You only live once though. Take chances when you can

Been to both many times on business trips. Cali isn't my cup of tea (although San Juan Capistrano is on of the few places there where I could spend extended time).

Greetings from Louisville.

Bardstown Rd, as pictured here, would be like Farmington Ave, perhaps just west of West Hartford Center.

For ice off a car (not truck) to appear to hit the top of her windshield and cause that much damage, she would A) have been going really fast, and B) have to be close enough to the car in front of her to tell whether the driver of that car had bleached their butthole.

Don’t tailgate.

isn't that victim blaming? None of this happens with an ice/snow-free vehicle.

I hadn't looked at this thread in days, and here it is back at the top again. Are we still arguing about clear the snow off vs. don't tailgate? I hope this challenging question will be resolved before the Final Four.

You'll love it. It's a really nice area and Arizona is a beautiful state, lots of great day/wknd trips. I'm a major wuss when it comes to the heat and the cold doesn't bother me.

One thing I have heard is north/south facing properties are more desirable to negate some of the heat.

Why are you defending tailgating? I fully expected most people to agree with a fairly benign recommendation like "don't tailgate". I can't believe people are still trying to defend it 10 pages into the thread.

Also, following as close as she had to be for that kind of damage means she isn’t a victim, she is just a reckless driver that hasn’t hurt anyone yet.

she was asking for it by wearing that miniskirt and not following 6000 yards behind the car in front of her. I dont see why the whole board is continuing to defend tailgating in an otherwise innocuous thread about removing ice from your own car since its the law, and courteous to others.

I saw on the news this morning a clip from NJ where a guy had purchased an electronic drone type snowblower. Just set it and forget like a Roomba and your driveway is done. Supposedly can get up to 5000sf per charge while removing up to a foot of snow.

Can’t wait.

I've always preferred having seasons and from as long as long as i can remember until maybe my late 30's I liked having extremes (well, as extreme as it gets in the NY suburbs).

As each year goes by I prefer it less and less extreme, now in my mid 60's, it wouldn't bother me if a summer day never exceeded 91 or 92 degrees and if the winter never dropped below freezing. I'm not sure that can happen up here.

During my 4 years stationed in San Diego, over 90 and under 40 were countable on 1 hand.

1) Read the link I provided. No one who tailgates is a victim in a collision with anything in front of them. Some people think that driving super aggressive makes someone cool or edgy. It doesn't.

2) That is a really offensive analogy in your post and also untrue. The Venn diagram between people who tailgate and who would say "she was asking for it" has a lot more overlap than the people who don't drive like *****s and think your joke is funny.

Nelson Logic: I'm going to do donuts all over your entire yard, but it's your fault because you planted grass there.

Lol it's also the fault of the guy that left the snow/ice on his car💀

For those scoring at home, we are on page 10 of a thread where about 15 posters are justifying their right to tailgate and literally put everyone on the road's lives in danger by yelling at me for not cleaning snow off my car off even though I park in a garage.

Yeah and the person that leaves snow on their car is just as big of an issue.
