Speaking of cleaning your car off...

So I'm driving to work today and decided to head in through town instead of my usual route. While sitting at a traffic light I see what I'm assuming to be a UVM student w/ Jersey plates cleaning his car off. We've had some snow and ice lately and his car obviously hasn't been touched in a few days so it's thoroughly coated in about 2" of snow w/ a nice 1/4" layer of ice on top.

You can see where he's attempted to start clearing it. Little "clean" spots here and there. He's dousing the car in De-Ice. If you live in a snow region you know what I'm talking about, those big spray cans of de-icer w/ the little red "scraper" built on top. It's used for windows, NOT paint. But he's completely soaking the entire car w/ it! Yanking the piss out of the frozen door handles. I'm chuckling whole heatedly to myself thinking " friggen flat landers... ". Next thing I know he's going nuts, beating the fuck out of his snow/ice covered car w/ his scraper/brush. Swinging it like a club or ball bat. He gets in 4-5 solid whacks, snow and ice jumping off the car, then I see his feet fly out from under him. Feet in the air, ass over tea kettle, snow brush flying out of his hand landing solidly on his back!

I almost snarfed Pepsi all over my dashboard. God I needed a good laugh this morning. Nothing beats flat landers and snow. Thank you anonymous UVM student for brightening my morning.

I use those cans of deicer on my windshield. Works great.
For ice on the body of my SUV I find if you just warm up the car it comes right off.
 
Did you make sure to give him a nice spritzing of snow as you drove by? Offer him some Pepsi while he was flat on the ground? Take a video and post it to youtube? Offer to help him if you can bang his sister?


ATOT is full of fail lately.

I've had really good luck with this item I bought a few years ago called a "garage". Bit more expensive then the de-icer stuff though. 😉
 
what's a flat lander?

screw that, leave it on so it can fly and hit someone when driving!

For real, I mean the guy was on his back... you could easily have gotten in a quickie with him. Afterwards, help him clean his car whilst holding hands. Take a drive to taco-bell and get some heat-lamped food, and dine with each other in the glory of taco-bell's lighting scheme. Maybe later on in life, you two could have had kids. Opportunity like this doesn't come along everyday.

What's with the use of the term "Flatlanders?"


It snows in the plains as well as the mountains, right?[

Uh, exactly...that's why I'm asking.


Nevermind...it's a Vermont thing; now I get it.
