I always wondered about Tony. He always seemed a little pushy with the rice (heh) flakes...

I'm officially joining Billy's "Fuck this winter shit" association :x

Let the dog out last night and saw this

It was the only car frosted over and only on one side. Yeap. It is on the inside :x

Opened the door and found:

Looks like a door drain clogged and created an ice damn, then flooded into the driver's foot well :x

Now you're talkin'! I might have to get tee shirts made with that slogan.

Seriously though now what can you do to fix and dry out?

In the middle of winter? Not much.

I broke the dam away and tossed a dehydrator in it for now to catch what the sun will evaporate. After tomorrow it's supposed to be dry for the rest of the week so I'll toss a space heater in as well.

Really need to pull up the carpet to get the under padding dry, but I'm not in a position to do that :(

Looks like your weather is supposed to be good early to mid week with near 60 and sunny Weds. so that might help.

Just perusing the various 914s on the market. One of the last 100 made is up for sale on eBay now. Listing says “It has some rust.” Here’s one of the pics:
