Park Your Automobile Facing East Overnight To Melt Ice In The Morning

One of the reasons your windshield can easily scrape in cold weather is that you may be in a hurry to depart in the morning. Not everyone has the time to sit and wait for their car to warm up sufficiently to melt the ice. If you don’t have the time or are simply impatient, it’s best to be prepared when it gets cold outside. You can use the stocking hack, but another option is to park the car facing east. Because the sun rises in this direction, you have a better chance of melting the ice from your car before you have to leave. This only works if the sun isn’t obscured by clouds.

Hang A Tennis Ball from Your Garage Ceiling To Indicate Where You Should Park Your Automobile

Nowadays, car technology is extremely advanced. Sensors that alert you if anything is close when you’re parking are becoming increasingly popular. That way, you won’t hit anything and end up damaging your car. However, not all cars have this, so those that do face the risk of dents and scratches. Fortunately, there is a way around this, at least in your garage. What you need to do is park the car in the best possible location and then suspend a tennis ball from the ceiling. This should align with the windscreen so that you know where to stop the vehicle when you park there in the future. You won’t travel too far and end up hitting something.
