“Fuck you, you’re fixing it, and you’re paying for my rental” has to be an extremely satisfying way to respond to an insurance provider. Special place in hell, with lawyers and politicians.

You’re never safe in a city! Garage or no garage. I had my pristine E30 while living in Philly, where I was lucky enough to have a parking spot and garage at our house but still constantly parked on the street in the city. I was very careful where I parked, but I couldn’t escape an idiot supervisor and his crew from…

I take issue with your syntax, but the point is well made.

Sure, but it’s not about being good enough to win fights. It’s about being so good that nobody wants to pick a fight with you in the first place.

You should park in the garage, and put the wipers up just to be safe

That is fantastic.

A parrot in the snow? WTF? Never seen that combination before

of all the birds.... I just... what?

Yeah, this technique isn’t so much for snow as it is freezing rain and ice.

And I replaced three bulbs so that I’d actually have functioning turn signals. I never use them, but they’re there...

Yeah I don’t usually stick them up unless it’s freezing rain, in which case I find that sticking them up allows me to scrape the windshield more easily as I’d likely lift them anyways during the scraping procedure.

Hey you’re within the lines. That’s huge!

I always thought it was so the birds would have a place to land. Who knew?

In BC wipers up means you are from the lower mainland and have no idea what you are doing.. it’s kind of like a flag for other normal people to avoid driving near those guys.

Subaru still has this and a lot of high end european models have a heated windscreen available. But yeah, it’s added cost and the fully heated windscreens are expensive as fuck.

I like to put up just one, so I can find my car when you get 2 feet and all the cars look the same.

I’ve never understood this and I live 20 minutes from where this is not at all uncommon.

Apparently neither Paul nor Doug have had the rubber part of a wiper blade torn off due to being frozen to the windshield.

I’ll be honest, I never saw this when I lived in Michigan, it was only when I moved to New Jersey when I started to see people sticking the wipers up.

Cars are actually insectoid aliens, and when snow is coming their camouflage grows weak.
