When I was a teenager I remember having a lot of very negative experiences during the winter.
Because I worked a half an hour away from where I live, it was rather challenging to deal with the snow on a daily basis. You never knew when another blizzard was going to blow through town and bury your car. Then, you had to worry about navigating the roads and safely reaching your destination rather than drifting into a ditch. I hated every part of the transportation that was necessary during winter. I especially hated defrosting my car when it was ice cold outside and my fingers were bleeding from the low temperatures. If you have never scraped ice off of a windshield, consider yourself extremely lucky. If you have never been locked out of your car that was frozen shut, you don’t know how frustrating life can be. The day that I realized that my vehicle’s heating system was not the most efficient way to keep my car free of the snow and ice that plagued my existence was the day that my life changed. I realized, instead of heating my vehicle from the inside… I could try to heat it from the outside. This is why I had a small heating system installed in my garage. To this day, whenever I need to warm up my car I simply relocate it to the toasty warm garage. The heating system effectively warms all the snow until it melts and I can leave for work without wasting my gas. Use indoor heat and save your car some extra strain.
