..where I have to wake up earlier than anticipated to defrost my windshield.

So it goes.

ahha, yes

10/31/2011 7:44:52 AM

I like my windshields like I like my beer mugs, frosted.

10/31/2011 7:46:14 AM

Remote Start

10/31/2011 8:50:45 AM

Garage

I feel your pain, GrayFox33. My wife and I are big fans of buying used cars so we don't have a payment so nothing we have right now has remote start and our garage was built in 1950 so my Ram doesn't fit ('that's what she said').

Thank God I live in a town where the crime rate is insignificant.

remote start FTMFW!

10/31/2011 9:08:13 AM

Windshields? Psh.

10/31/2011 10:14:31 AM

you dont need to purchase a new car to have remote start, you can buy it at best buy and have them install it. Depending on where you live, like me up in the northeast, it's can be worth it.

I'm aware you can buy them aftermarket (and I wouldn't have them install it unless it's free because it's a simple install), but saving myself a 20 yard walk in the cold (freezing or not) isn't worth $220 to me... but I can see it being more worth it if you live in the northeast.

it's not approaching, it's here. Had to scrape this morning

10/31/2011 10:21:23 AM

Me too

10/31/2011 10:38:12 AM

Garage ftw

10/31/2011 10:46:29 AM

10/31/2011 10:48:51 AM

Agreed.

99% of the garages go to 1% of the drivers.

I'll just keep pushing my gas pedal and using my wipers for 15 minutes.

10/31/2011 11:04:02 AM

this will be my first winter sans garage and i am not looking forward to it.

my windshield actually fogged over more once i actually got in this morning and started driving anyway. i was looking out of a small hole in the middle of my windshield going through uptown for a good solid 6 minutes.

Fuck off.

10/31/2011 11:47:16 AM

I got a garage but my truck won't fit anymore since I added a work bench and a bar.

10/31/2011 11:48:18 AM

^Ditto. My garage is essentially my workshop for my project-car. I'm not going to put it outside just so I can keep the fog/frost off an early-model Saturn with 160K miles on it.

10/31/2011 11:53:38 AM

My garage is taken up by a gym, so I just have to use my remote start.

Sounds like first world problems itt

10/31/2011 11:55:15 AM

My girlfriend's car gets the garage because one of the windows doesn't stay up properly and it's likely to get rained in sooner or later if we park it outside. My slightly nicer car gets to stay outside.

However, we have switched cars recently as hers is having some issues. So I don't have to scrape the windshield, but I get a car that is liable to stall on me while moving. Don't really think that's a win on my part.

wooden wedge shaped block plus rubber mallet = fixed window

10/31/2011 12:37:21 PM

This rain will not make things better.



Or will it.

10/31/2011 7:36:32 PM

I had a cheap, generic car cover from Walmart that I used before I had a garage. I preferred folding that up and putting it in the trunk to scraping windows on a cold morning. Couldn't use it if it rained though.

10/31/2011 10:44:56 PM

Nothing wrong with running outside, cranking the car, turning on the defrost, running back in the house, and letting the car warm for a few minutes.

10/31/2011 11:04:26 PM

bttt

1/20/2012 11:32:09 AM

<3 my new garage.

First winter EVER where I don't have to scrape anything.

1/20/2012 11:33:36 AM

the time of year for Pickerel fishing

1/20/2012 1:29:56 PM

1/20/2012 1:31:11 PM

not a great idea. the ice can damage the rubber on wiper blades, shredding them a bit over time if you do this continuously. so when it rains, you just smear the water, you don't really wipe it away. i learned this the hard way. nothing worse than driving on a major highway and not being able to see anything because the wipers are fucked.

1/20/2012 2:18:24 PM

BHS Im ready for the white bass run up the eno. It cant get here soon enough. Got me a little boat, new ultralight rigs and a new flyrod that im cant wait to try out. I bank fished it a few times last year and found a few real nice spots that a boat will be perfect for.
