  • @Dude13450 LOOOL....pervert

  • "get everything nice and lubed up" hehe

  • that's a good idea, except with coffee, I'll try hot cocoa.. mmm.

  • @joejedlicka Oh that makes sense.I always turn on the defrost if the window is frosted so that the ice can melt.

  • @JAREDMICHALLE Actually, turning on the heater will increase the time it takes for the engine to rise to operating temperature, due to the fact that a heater core is in fact a small radiator, and with the fan engaged, it will be able to dissipate heat. He is simply recommending that to warm yourself. :) If your engine ever overheats, turn the heater on, with the fan on its highest setting. It may buy you just enough time to get home, or to a safe location.

  • @BlaineRice lmaooo hahaha you made my day!!

  • @BlaineRice ahahahhahahhahahaha
