Nifty Trick
Just wanted to share a nifty little thing I've discovered on my own this morning. It's starting to get icy and really cold out, which as you know causes your wind-sheild too ice over. Now if your like me, you woulnd't dare think about buying an icescraper even though you know it'd be ideal. It's quite simple: Use your drivers license! I had to use that this morning, and it works just as good!
Just figured I'd share that with ya'll .

It's actually very common for people to use credit cards and the like.

Why not use an ice scraper?
I have a heated ice scraper. Plug it in the lighter socket and away you go!
Mind you, I've also got heated windscreen washers which work no end!

Then go buy one!
They're only a few bucks at most.

I plan on, but the problem is when I do buy one they end up "disappearing"

Just pour a glass of really hot water on your windshield, the ice comes right off...

How cold is it starting to get where everyone is? Today is was up in the 70's. Now yesterday it felt like frozen tundra outside and tomorrow (more like today) it's supposed to be in the 70's again, then drop back down.
