Who's car was frozen?

Mine sure was.
like 1/2" thick ice.
Took some mighty strong pulls on the handle and flat head screwdriver to pry my door open

I just cleaned off the car and the Van and salted the driveway, forget the shovelling. It's now starting to snow. Once the heaters warmed up, cleaning off the car was a breeze. Had no problem opening the doors, just gave them a good tug.

i could actually see the whole door handle starting to bend as i was pulling on them trying to get my damn door open (stupid EG door handles). Took a good few minutes to get my doors open.

Why wasn't that sexy car parked in your nice warm garage?

I've used a torch before to get my doors unlocked back when I drove an 85 Crown Victoria.

silicone spray will help keeps your weatherstripping from freezing guys. and the ice on top just give it a couple of good knocks with your fist to break the ice.

The garage was full of big boxes and a few bags of garbage until this morning and I didn't really know it was supposed to snow/rain. Besides, the car is driven only a few times a week, so I've been holding out for snows and other wheels.

I just finally managed to get all of the snow and ice off, so she's tucked away in the garage now.
