My first car didn't have a blower in the air conditioning system. It worked off of convection. The first winter I drove it, I'd roll down the window and stick my head out into the weather.

Haha, funny. You could’ve killed someone.
Look the ford pinto was peak engineering at the time, it was as safe as it got back then🤷♀️
Speedrun tip: just completely remove your windshield with a sledgehammer to remove the ice
Cue the sound of me revving the engine to heat the defrost after I half ass the scraping
I totaled a car this way when I was 17. Would not recommend.
I usually just spray a lot of washer fluid on it.
In Norway you lose your license immediately if the police sees you driving like this
In the U.S. you might lose your job if you don't. One missed alarm.
Good luck.
Yeah but the US is fucked when it comes to the working situation and workers rights.
Sure. Though that doesn't change the shittiness at all. It just represents the issue the loudest, and one that occurs in more places than just the U.S.: Abysmal working conditions and shitty bosses. Forgive me for pointing out something I think everyone already understands, though we are part of a global economy. To create effective change we should also act as a global force to promote those changes.
In a perfect world, at least. Sadly, problems on our own doorstep takes away a lot of energy to do just that.
I legitimately cannot imagine a scenario where you have time to clear this eye hole, but don't have another 30s to clear the rest of the windshield. It's pure laziness, regardless of how exploited your surplus labor might be.
But if you hit oncoming traffic you'll still be late for work and also potentially kill someone and end up incarcerated for vehicular manslaughter.
grab a rifle and vive la revolution/s
I was literally going to say that exact thing. Det er veldig slitsomt å kjøre i Troms :(
Good punishment. If you don’t consider this extremely dangerous you shouldn’t really be allowed to operate any machine bigger than a lego set.
Pro-tip: you don't have to defrost a windshield if you walk, bike, or take public transit instead.
Please don't do this. It's ok to be late.
Better be late to work then a late worker.
Better to be a smart feller
not in America when you can get fired anytime
I do understand, but it's still not worth killing yourself or others
