The other upside to oiling your rotors is that eventually the oil will catch fire which will provide additional warmth on a cold day.

On a serious note, A tarp or blanket over windshield will keep it clear. Warm the car up first before driving off or it will freeze over

In kinda curious what would happen with the towel one. Does it break the whole windshield?

10 years ago | Likes 21 Dislikes 1

towel. Pouring water on should do the trick. Room temp/tap water would be best.

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

water will freeze and stick the towel to the windshield. No real damage except for the fact that you'd have to unfreeze it to remove the 1/2

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Towel will freeze to it, the boiling water one would be the one to fuck up the window

If done as a prank, better to use paper towels, so there's like a 0% chance of being able to peel it off in one go

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

But paper towels are soft enough to scare off with your scraper, a big towel is tough enough that you can't just scrape it off like normal.

Car. A late 90s Hyundai. Tire looked like a actual donut. It was about to explode and send steel radial into our hearts and skulls.

I work in a Nissan dealership, and some poor woman actually did put antifreeze in her brake fluid...

10 years ago | Likes 13 Dislikes 0

I don't know the properties of brake fluid. Is it denser than anti-freeze and thus able to maintain proper pressure on the brakes?

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

TL;DR, yes. The pedal drops to the floor, car keeps on rolling.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

If they put raw ethylene glycol in, it wouldn't mix, but would also have the same effect.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

DOT3 is what's in most cars, and it's hygroscopic, which will suck in water and lose all hydraulic property. In short, no brake pressure.

Remember that if you are being towed, the other car will do the braking, so do NOT touch the brakes under any circumstance!

You can fix anything with enough money. The biggest thing would be cracking the engine block from draining coolant, and busting the gearbox.

Or like the last one which means they're all dead and can't fix shit :)
