I wonder... :unsure: WHAT! WOULD! Happen??, when 80 degree water hits our thin (20 degree) windshield glass... o_O

In 20°F temp use garden sprayer filled with cold tap water (even down to 32°F water if you have any). You have MANY BTU's of thermal warming in 32°F water to phase change the ice to water even a few more with warmer water. Pour a pitcher of cold tap water and 20% volume of ice????

Car wash, I watch the guy or girl guide me in the track, then they point to a big sign that says,
Leave engine running,
Transmission In neutral,
Hands off the steering wheel,
That is it,
It ain’t rocket science. How could anyone screw that up yet pass a drivers test ?
Duh ~
Every once in a while some brainiac puts his foot on the brake, car jumps the bar, car wash stops.
Grrrrr. And I’m on the highway with the same idiot and don’t even know what car they are in.

Sign over my fireplace mantle says,
“You can’t Fix Stupid”

I apologize, I’ve had to deal with dumbassery all day today.
Ain't it the truth.
You're going to love this one.
I'm in town today. I decide to get a car wash.
I took a picture of the liability sign
and the ensuing 💩 SHOW.
I'm the third car back and some rummy doesn't know how to use the car wash.
First they start heading through the car wash with their window down.
Second they failed to take their foot off the brake as the conveyor is trying to pull them forward.
Thirdly while the machine is running they put their car in park. I know because I saw the reverse lights flash on and then they took their foot off the brake. Machine is shut down now.
Fourthly in the picture you can see them with their door open (When I saw the door open I thought I hope they put it in L)🤣 they were going to get out of their car.
I will say this one is probably the mistake of the attendant. With the machinery shut down they thought they could guide the dimwitted driver slowly through the car wash. Well you guessed it, about halfway through, the driver jumped the track. Sound familiar🙄🙄

"Cherokee" quoted that very same line in his post that I quoted. You must have missed it.
