De-Icing your car

[cardboard]

I don't bother. I know where the road goes - roughly, so I just beep my horn and flash my lights to let people know I'm coming. Eventually the window clears itself and I can see where I am.

Soup over pc moment, thanks a lot

Next time - piss on the lock. Works a treat.

Not wise if it's still freezing outside.

It's probably where the phrase 'piece of piss' comes from...

I had to use my bare nails this morning, it f***ing caned

 

[countrygull]

OK I will become a convert. I have always been a cassette case, CD and credit card scraping devotee - tomorrow, I join the luke warm water set, for a better start to the day

 

[Gwylan]

Just get a pushbike: no windscreen to clear, no keys to turn.

I'm out of the door and on my way in seconds.

I found the best way for melting ice is steam it comes from all my orifices when i think about how the govenment have ruined Great Britain in the past 10 + years.

It only takes seconds to clear my windows!

Whats wrong with a can of de-icer? Took me ten seconds this morning, start the engine, wipers on, srpay it to f*** with de-icer

Why not just cover your windscreen with a blanket, or old bath towel the night before?

We've got a silver cover over the windscreen which fastens in the doors either side. It doubles up in summer to keep the car cool when the sun is beating down.

Do you put that on the outside?

Not worried it will get stolen?

Why would anyone want to rip a silver cover worth about £2.50? It would get ripped as the flaps are inside the driver and passenger doors.

Oh one of those! I know what you mean! Not a bad idea!

De-icer only costs a pound a can! Good enough for me

True but we've had that cover for three years now. Cheaper in the long run and useful in summer.

Heated windscreens all the way. The rest of you are just peasants!

We had one in our Mondeo but only half of it worked. It would have cost more than the car was worth to get it mended.

Deicer clears it quicker than the heating elements do, and considering the time I leave to get to work in the morning, that 15 seconds counts

Watch out for those frozen puddles caused by people pouring luke-warm water over their windscreen!

*Nerd alert*
I wrote to the Crawley Observer about this very subject once when as a teenager I fell off my bike having ridden over a frozen puddle! It was published.

Cool - away in no time. Meanwhile I can pass you 30 seconds later in my warm car whilst you are shivering and shaking like a pissing dog
