Some busybody dog walker reminded me to get the snow off of it before I drive. I told her I'm taking the snow with me to Miami because them rich Jews down there will pay me $8/pound for it.
History repeats itself because I said that same thing to a cop in Massachusetts once over 15 years ago while I was brushing the snow off of my pickup. I posted it here.
The reason you are required by law to do this makes sense. The powers that be were looking out for illegal tailgaters and didn't want them to have a 5x5x2 foot block of snow land on their windshields at 70 mph. I got that. They want to enable tailgaters for some reason. Maybe they have shares in MAACO or Earl Sheib or something. Who knows?
Needless to say, they wrote the law saying that every bit of snow has to be removed. The reason for this was twofold. Legislators don't have to remove snow from their own cars. They have chauffeurs. The other reason was plain and simple revenue enhancement.
Fortunately most police officers don't sweat the small shit and use common sense so it's no major task to sweep one's vehicle off.
Anyway, this morning while sweeping the snow off of the pickup I was letting the engine run so warm things up a bit and a dog walker explained to me like I was a backwards child that you don't have to warm up cars anymore, just hop in them and drive.
I told her I was aware of that and wanted to heat it up so I didn't have to freeze my a$$ off. Of course she said I was wasting fuel.
"Lady, I'm RICH! I can AFFORD to waste our precious natural resources!"
That ended that.
