Even when it's 50! LMFAO....Yeah, that'll really make your nipples stand up. Oh that's right, you're a Floridian. So if it were to get below 50, I guess you folks put your chains on.

I was born and raised in California. When I first moved, I lived in central Illinois. I thought it would be a great idea to wash my car in one of those do-it-yourself pressure wash bays. After my car was all shiny, I drove it home. When I tried to open the door to get out it was frozen solid. Just like all the other doors were. Yeah, I thought of the windows. Yup, they were frozen too. So here I was, firmly frozen in my car like a pteradactyl fossil. I figured I'd probably be there until the spring thaw so I humiliated myself and called my wife on the cell phone. She came out of the house with a pail of warm water and thawed the door so I could escape. I had to sit there helplessly, watching her laugh her ass off. So the moral to the story is, in addition to the comfort issue, make sure you have a warm place to park your vehicle after you wash it, or pack enough supplies in your car to keep you alive until spring. Here's a photo of me, honoring the occasion.
