imagine having to prepare your vehicle before getting on your way in the winter
this post was made by public transport, walking, and biking gang
depends where you live.
if i had to get public transport where i used to live i would have to leave two hours before work
right, so maybe the ability to not drive should be a part of how you decide where to live? i certainly wouldn’t want to live somewhere where the only choice is driving
I wasn’t given a say in where my parents bought their house while i was in primary school
Yeah it’s -17⁰f, I ain’t walking or biking and the bus only goes the opposite direction
biking in the snow? sounds unpleasant. bus please!
I had a friend that during the cold winter mornings would wake up and piss on his windshield to clear/melt the frost. He of course kept the vents closed so he couldn’t smell it on the drive. It really was disgusting, but made me wonder if he might’ve had a clever time saving idea.
It’s a clever time saving idea in the same way that burning your house down is a heating bill reduction life hack.
How did he do it? Like, I could hit the windscreen from the ground but I doubt I could clear it… Would probably have to stand on the bonnet to get it clear with a morning wizz. I don’t wanna stand on my bonnet. Maybe if I pissed out the window… 🤔
You guys should maybe Google “homemade de-icer” before you start pissing on windows.
The vents aren’t a perfect seal. Piss is getting into the vents no matter what. That’s just filthy on many levels
How hot was his pee? Pretty sure it’d just freeze before it melted even a minor amount of ice
I mean, it’s 98.6F on average. If it’s freezing that quickly then you’re looking at some extreme temperatures.
Frost Guards for the win!
I’m too tropical to understand this
Scheduled auto start for the win!
What? Smart car?
I guess that depends on what you mean by “smart car”. It’s a 2021 Ford and the app let’s me do scheduled starts. Turns on the steering wheel and seat warmers too.
Inb4 someone turns their seatwarmers on in the garage, goes to eat breakfast, walks into the garage and gasses themself
Electric cars don’t have that issue
Wait, does everyone’s car not simply defrost itself every morning at 6am?
My car is electric
What does that add to the discussion?
I apparently replied to the wrong comment I guess
I remember that being a feature in my 2002 BMW. Unfortunately, a Double DIN stereo was more important than the native controls. So I lost the ability to schedule the auto start time.
Edit: “Auxiliary heating” is apparently what it was called.
I’m lucky if my car starts in the morning
