Pedestrian fatally crushed between two parked cars after one started remotely

I should have taken picture of my Chrysler today before I used remote start. The windows are all frozen and white, you cannot even see through them before either car gets warm or I scrap it with plastic tool.

Sometimes it's even challenging to open the doors, because they are all frozen.

I get that not everyone gets the white snow christmas, but some do :)

A good quality cabin-window cover costs about $80 and takes about a minute to fit, with magnetic anchors.

No more iced or snow-covered windows.

It's not only iced windows, but iced car. It might rain while its 40* and go below freezing over night, then the next morning as you are rushing to work you find your car and your $80 cabin-window cover entombed in 2 inches of ice. I hope your ice scraper wasn't in the car.

There are other ways to defrost a car though.

Ofcourse. But pressing 2x a button on a remote and having a warm car when I get to drive is one of the best features of the car.
