Pro Tip: Don't drink the battery fluid, it's not caffeinated.
I know of a guy that did put gas in a diesel on a -15 morning. Found out a year later when the carcass was sold and the guy came back and said there was gas in the cylinders.
ReplyDeleteBack in high school, a kid was talking about how his mother borrowed his car, a VW rabbit diesel, and thoughtfully filled his tank for him before returning it. Problem was, she put gasoline in it, instead of diesel. He said it ran like a bat out of hades until he finally made it through that tank of fuel.
DeleteWorked at a gas station when I was in my teens. Guy called up complaining, wanting the station to pay for the repairs to his diesel truck, due to his girlfriend coming in and filling up the tank with gas at the self service islands....
DeleteIf you have a thin layer of ice on your windshield,
ReplyDeletesimply put a sheet of sandpaper under your wiper blade and then turn them on and let the wiper blades scrape that ice away...I always like helping Liberals in their day to day lives...

Yall really are a sad lot.
Deleteand dammed proud of it !
DeleteAs a life long Maine resident, I laughed hard at the images but harder still at the thought of how many people are going to take one or more of your suggestions seriously.
ReplyDeleteAlso remember to drain any and all coolant out of the radiator and replace with fresh pure water right before the freeze hits...Because it is going to be really cold and if you have coolant the car will get too cold!
ReplyDeleteSaw a vid somewhere last week of a guy pouring hot water on his iced over driver's side window. Instant shatter.
ReplyDeleteI had a cracked windshield on one of my cars and had it replaced in February. On the day of the replacement the air temp was in the 40's. Overnight, the temp dropped to around 20. Driving down the road going to work I hear a loud SNAP and watched a crack creep its way across the brand new windshield from the lower left corner (drivers side) to the middle of the passenger side. My insurance company was not happy as they insisted that I use a particular local glass replacement company for the first replacement. They sent me to another local company for the second one. I have zero deductible on glass for my cars.

The two flat sheets of my RV windshield were delaminating, they were so old, and I brought them to an RV glass specialist who replaced them for $250 for BOTH. Two weeks later I was driving it to the gas station, and.. CRACK went the Passenger side one. I took a picture of it and sent it into the glass guy, and he replaced it for free - he had left a small chunk in the channel when he put the glass in, and the stressing of the glass panel caused the crack. Good company! Glad the windshield wasn't curved like I see on the modern RVs because that would have been an expensive mistake!
Deletereposted all of those to one the worlds largest internet boards... OMG the screaming !
ReplyDeleteYou have great wisdom or connections I don't know how you do it as I have seen none of those at any time. And that is some funny ass shit, funny ass shit right thar.

My friends grandfather in the winter time drained the oil out of his car in the 30's and 40's each night when he got home from work in "The Oil Bucket" and left it by the wood stove at night so it was warm in the morning and he filled the car back up with warm oil every morning so it would start easier and didn't cause extra wear on the engine. Can't say he was wrong but that seemed like a lot of trouble to go through on a daily basis. It was cold where they lived.
ReplyDeleteOne year a Darwin Award recipient went to the guy who heated his gas on the stove.
ReplyDeleteAnarchist's Cookbook has a recipe for, IIRC, napalm that involves cooking gasoline to aid in dissolving the stuff that makes it gooey.
DeleteThirty-two below one morning I went to thr truck to warm it up before leaving... had a cup of boiling coffee in my hand, which put it on the dash as I got in. Windshield popped like a fire cracker surrounding the cup. Great morning. Boss asked me what happened to the windshield, told him. He said it was the first time he ever heard that happening. Me, too.
ReplyDeleteHad a friend use warm water to deice his car one winter. When he go to work the doors and windows had frozen shut and he couldn't get out of the car.
ReplyDeleteYou forgot about putting antifreeze in the blinker fluid, that stuffs sensitive.
ReplyDeleteA friend was a mechanic at one of the GM dealerships back in the 80s when the Olds diesel was introduced. One of the rookie mechanics was sent out to bring one into the shop that was out in the lot for repairs. He couldn't get it started. They told him to squirt WD-40 down the intake and see if if would start. He thought they were pranking him, so he took his squirt can of gasoline out, pumped some in the intake, and tried to start it. The repair was easy after that, it blew both heads off the block.
ReplyDeleteOne fine frosty deep winter Wyoming morning many moons ago when I was a youngish lad, I stepped out of my motel to go to work and saw one of my co-workers pouring straight anti-freeze into his washer reservoir. He was feeling so proud that he had come up with a solution all by himself that the rest of us hick country boys hadn't thought of. The first time he sprayed the windshield, it left an ethylene glycol smear that you could not see through and he had to scrub it with windex to clean it off later. I was nice enough to give him a ride in, but only so he was trapped and I could give him crap the entire way there....lol
