Why is pouring water over the side-view mirror of the car not a good idea, when the weather is below 0.?

i think it can freeze the motors inside and damage them, if it frezes then you would not be able to move them

In My case, Knowing what to do would not be the problem, my toughest thing would be to do it without panic, because your wasting valuable air & time when you panic, i would first of all unfasten my seat belt and try to find somthing that has a point to break the side window glass out, and exscape that way and swim to the top , if you fail at trying to break the window , be as calm as possibile and let the car fill with water and when it does you should be able to open the door , because the pressure should equal the same on the outside of the car and innner , so dont waste your time and energy trying to open the door until it has filled with water , once you hit the water if you have electric windows , use the electrically switch to roll them down before it goes under , ofcourse they wont work under water .thats what i would do if i could keep calm, Good question!

An "inversed angle" cup like the one you suggest, would certainly be more stable, but I think that the point here is the tilting angle you should give the cup in order for fluid to run down to your mouth.\nNotice that in an "inversed angle" cup, you should tilt it much more to drink, making it a bit more uncomfortable.\nThe limit should be a straight cup, of which there are lots in the market (mugs).

Because there is no risk of snow or black ice on the road and little risk of rain.  Because you can roll down the windows and feel the wind in your hair.  Because if you have a convertible, you can get a suntan while driving.  Because it's the best season of the year, if you live in the northern US.

Yes,but it's providing downforce to stick car to track better.The car is going to cut the air,and you sure don't want it to go under,then car would lift up and get airborn.

When the sun goes down, it is no longer produced.  If you lived somewhere like seattle where it is very rainy and there is little sunshine, it wouldn't be too effective.

People don't let enough time to get the last drop out.\nIts the science of water tap, that even after putting it off, some droplets drain down & then totally stops after sometime.

I am not in Shawno County...but here in SW Wisconsin...it has not been cold enough as of yet for ice.  Heck...only had to scrape the windshield once so far this season.

strange situation.. anyway why you dont use thermal tape ,, its strong enough to prevent any leak

The problem with that is that water wil freeze below 32 farenheit. so it would need a eletric trace(heat trace to heat it up if temp goes below 32) and insulation to keep the heat in. Also, rusting is a major issue which is bound to happen even if the most rustfree material is used. Also leaks are a major issue. Something chemical has to be mixed with water to determine exact location of the leak if one takes place. the oil pipelines in middle east use a chemical, i forget the name, for the same reason. Adding and removing the compund from water may be a major pain. Also another major problem would be collecting the water, how exactly would that be done. Drainage water maybe, but it would be very very hard to collect pure rainfall and transport it. The idea may seem easy but it would involve major reconfiguration of water systems, water collectors, pipelines within existing eastern cities, etc to provide water to the west. Its just not economical to do so. Also pumping stations to clean water at each interval are also expensive to first build and then run.

This is a possible answer. I dont know how far it holds. \n\nThe roof of the car is generally metal,and it offers a huge surface area for exchange of heat inside the car and outside. It is therefore here that frost forms first. The sides of the car are mostly glass and they offer lesser heat exchange. Besides they dont give a cozy surface like the top for the frost to settle down.

well, i turn the heat up in the winter and i turn the air up in the summmer.  The only time i sit in the car and wait is when there is ice on my windshield.  Other than that, i get in the car and go.

The chemical reaction from adding\nsalt lowers the temperature in which water freezes.\n\nThat is why they throw in onto the roads in areas of winter freezing.

Well, if it's frozen, then it's not very condusive.  I'd say (from personal experience) that a freshly dropped one has the best chance of conducting just about anything, thermal or nonthermal.  It's the worst during the summer when the pile appears to be dried out and you step on it only to realize that the top crust  is very thin.

because\n\nit is a cold rainy DAY\n\nit is not night time\ntherefore... he could see the girl in the daylight\n\n\nRegards\n\nDebs\nx

Because cold air has a tendency to sink !!!

If the coolant level is dropping, it is going somewhere.  If you can't find any leaks or see coolant on the ground then it's probably the head gasket.
