That, you can't make up. This is hilarious.
I was clearing off the .25" of ice off of my car this morning, mind you that I have a 92 Jimmy that has to be no kidding cleared off. It doesn't have all the fancy defrost features. However it does have remote start, thank God.
On my way in I had the best traction of this winter season, go figure!
