Car Accidents Abundant and Unnecessary

With the recent snow here in the midwest, we once again get the opportunity to venture out to our cars under the very real threat of dying before we get there. But what's best about the winter time is that it doesn't stop there. Once we finally arrive at our vehicles, we are generally distraught to find out that now we have to either A) Start warming up the car, then scrape off the ice of B) Scrape off the ice then warm up the car. Now with either choice you are a loser, and here is why. Should you have gone with the latter option, you will scrape off your windows, and with frozen hands climb into the frigid cold you pay hundreds of dollars for every month. If you went with choice A, you will hop in, turn it on (thinking that the heater will be going nicely by the time you're done scraping) and get back out into the cold and scrape your heart out. You KNOW that whatever way you do it your car won't even be toasty and comfortable until you're home anyways, unless of course you commute across town, in which case I don't even feel like talking about what you experience everyday.

Once you are on your merry way, sliding everywhere, you wonder why nobody has caught the person that goes around to every intersection applying a completely invisible, yet very real, sheet of pure ice. God help you if you happen to have a passenger. Passengers like to complain and point out every obvious object, person, or streetlight you may come upon as a driver. I'm not sure what causes a passenger to become Captain Obvious the moment they sit down next to you, but we'll just withold judgement until we're finally home.
