How do you scrape ice off a vehicle?

Did they flip the scraper over and use the grinder edge?  That's what it's for - rimed-on ice. 

 

 

You're not supposed to turn your car on and leave it, especially if you walk away from it.  There are tons of stories of people getting their cars stolen while they're warming up in the driveway. 

 

 

It's nice living in a community where I have absolutely zero fear of this.  I'll leave mine running as long as I want and leave.

Mowing the lawn is one of my least favorite homeowner chores. I understand that feeling.

I totally agree, which is why that made me laugh.

If I am home and the work van has a thick coating of hard ice (not frost), I fill a big pitcher with lukewarm water (not hot) and pour it over the windshield.  I do it on side glass and mirrors as well.  I've been told by several that it will crack the windshield but it hasn't for me and I've done it hundreds of times.  For frost and if I'm in a hurry I use de-icer.  Otherwise I just start it and let it warm up.

 

I admit, I've done it.  Just once, out of desperation because it was so incredibly thick, it would have taken hours to do it any other way.

Poke fun all you want, but there were several inches of ice that day.  (Dont miss that part of Nebraska winters)

Remote starter + a windshield cover is a great investment. This is my first winter with the windshield cover and now I ask myself how I've gone so long without one. I have not had to scrape my windshield with all the snow and freezing rain he have gotten. Just make sure you get a quality one like this - AMAZON LINK.

I guess they are the default. When you go to purchase you pick what team you want.
