Lots of people around here don't warm up their vehicles. They jump in a drive. You can spot them easily as they are driving 40km/h on the highway and cant see sh!t out their window but hey its some much better then idling or warming up their vehicle.

Lol, they musta read that article.
I do that, but mine defrosts by the time I get out the subdivision.
(Good thing the houses aren't near the road and the trees are cut back. Usually drive by feel for the first few min!)
If the frost is really thick, I'll just toss a glass of water on the windshield and let er rip.
(Rarely gets below +30 here)

Throw water on it when it is really cold, and you just build up more ice. Ask me how I know? Been there done that, learned better.

So what I do. In the winter time. I snuggle the truck up against the back of the car in the carport. bingo, no ice in the morning. I let it idle until the RPMS fall off to normal, and then go. and as luck will have it. It is still cold when I get to work. so I drive with scarf, and gloves. The new truck has cloth seats so my butt don't freeze like they did with the leather. Yeah it has heated seats. and they too would almost get warm by the time I got to work.
