As a Rochester NY Native living in DC area, they don’t get right out and plow nor do they have the resources to really attack a large area.  They can slowly grind down a snowfall, but a lot fast isn’t really feasible.

I believe I read the reason was to cut down on occupant ejections in crashes. And that submersion was a much less likely occurrence.

Well, think of all the weight savings he’ll gain walking to get help! ;-)

Yeah, surprised me too. Even with something substantial doubtful you can get the momentum needed in the space available.

Well if the windshield goes ‘walkies’ you won’t be needing the window breaker ;-) I kid I kid. Definitely a good point.

I went with reflective triangles instead of flares. Figure they don’t ‘go bad’ or have a limited run time. They are a fair bit bulkier though. And aren’t really visible unless light hits them obvs.

I have a pretty well stocked kit in both cars but this is something I hadn’t thought of.  Very good idea!

Caveat that cars since 2017 started requiring that door windows are also laminated like the windshield. (thinking is ejection from a vehicle is more likely than submersion so the lamination prevents ejections).  So only the rear window is still tempered glass.  (and I ain’t fitting out some of those tiny rear…

40 people in 28 months is nothing

Roch NY born. My Dad literally never winterized any of the spigots and I don’t think we had the outdoor spigot type; the turn knob isn’t perpendicular to the pipe like the example. He grew up in Detroit so isn’t at all unfamiliar with winter...lol

Husbands: Yeah Carnival baby! Bootieliscous, bodacious, bab....

Having custom vehicle specific batteries comes with a pretty sizeable cost penalty itself.

I’d do it for $3000 TO me.

A vehicle with a higher center of gravity is far more likely to rollover than a lower CoG.

Fun fact. The mirrors are ground imperfectly.

The human brain will edit out the bezels anyway, just get 2 and place them next to each other

but then the video is rotated 90 degrees, at least if you use the normal orientation of the attachment mechanisms. What I’ve read is there isn’t an easy mechanism in Windows to adjust/rotate the video signal. Some applications have it but not native ability.

Indeed, just like water. There isn’t enough rain in NYC to support it so it will never work.

Funny thing about electricity...it can be transmitted hundreds of miles with minimal losses. And when your fuel is free (sunlight) more supply is just infrastructure build.

We have a 22 lb mainecoon. he’s a basically a dog. with claws. who you don’t get between him and the automatic feeder when it drops it’s payload.
