    I had a friend that during the cold winter mornings would wake up and piss on his windshield to clear/melt the frost. He of course kept the vents closed so he couldn’t smell it on the drive. It really was disgusting, but made me wonder if he might’ve had a clever time saving idea.

      It’s a clever time saving idea in the same way that burning your house down is a heating bill reduction life hack.

      The vents aren’t a perfect seal. Piss is getting into the vents no matter what. That’s just filthy on many levels

      How did he do it? Like, I could hit the windscreen from the ground but I doubt I could clear it… Would probably have to stand on the bonnet to get it clear with a morning wizz. I don’t wanna stand on my bonnet. Maybe if I pissed out the window… 🤔

      How hot was his pee? Pretty sure it’d just freeze before it melted even a minor amount of ice

        I guess that depends on what you mean by “smart car”. It’s a 2021 Ford and the app let’s me do scheduled starts. Turns on the steering wheel and seat warmers too.

            Ford surprisingly is one of the few that don’t do this. At least for what I have anyways, but it’s not base model.

            The only thing I’ll have to pay for to continue using is the GPS in another year or so. The app itself is free but pretty limited in overall functionality. Remote start, lock unlock, check tire pressure and oil life.

            They only complaint I have is the damn windows take forever to thaw the seal enough to roll down unless I pull them back a little.

          Inb4 someone turns their seatwarmers on in the garage, goes to eat breakfast, walks into the garage and gasses themself
