I am a bit intrigued as to why English drivers
have frost-free cars on a chilly morning
Having lived in snow country,
I am a bit embarrassed to say I still haven't graduated from
using a plastic card to scrape my car
before my mad dash to get to school on time
As most of the English do not park in their garage
(it is used for storage)
they must have some magic trick up their sleeves?
Here's a few possibilities:
1.
Throw water on the windshield with wipers on
(never hot, which could crack windows)
2.
Overnight, cover windscreen with a towel
3.
Use one of the popular de-icer sprays I've seen for sale
4.
Spray a vinegar/water mix on windscreen the night before
5.
Wipe a homemade saltwater mixture over windows
when parked for the evening
6.
Without worries of a stolen car,
warm car a few minutes before leaving
Most of these I haven't tried
but entering the frosty season,
I may experiment
Do you have any tips to share
so I stop looking like the foolish American
in a frost-covered car?
