SLPT: in a rush after a snowstorm? Skip brushing your car off by simply driving fast! The air will brush your car off for you.

This can also save you shoveling/plowing your driveway, simply drive over the accumulated snow at high speed. Make sure to avoid getting stuck however.

If there’s ice on your windows, sometimes it can be difficult to drive fast because of the visibility. In these cases, I recommend pouring some boiling water over the windows. That will remove the ice.

Technically correct!

It will also give you some nice air-conditioning with the window gone.

Also, the more you rev your engine the faster your car heats up and melts the snow

You want to get the RPMs into the redzone because thats where the most heat is made.

How can one sentence sound so right, and so wrong at the same time?

Just a heads-up, in some states "debris" coming off of your vehicle qualifies as an "unsecured load" and will get you a nasty ticket if it flies off and hits another car, moving this up from a shitty life pro-tip to an illegal one in some jurisdictions.

Pfft. Use your gas powered leaf blower. Driving around like a troglodyte, for shame. This way you'll exercise supremacy over your neighbours by waking them up at the crack of dawn.

An excellent winter alternative to revving a motorcycle in the driveway for 30 minutes before slowly wobbling down the road.

Even better whe ya get up to speed aim for the nearest tree, the suddeb lack of movement from speed will clean everuthing the speed doesnt get!

Can confirm, best option and you only need to do it once. After that no more worries or headaches.
