Those would flatten the tires of cars too. Unless you mean put them in the grass. I'd still use cinder blocks if the grass is high enough because it won't just flatten tires, it will send the motherfuckers flying and ruin the suspension. Plus, it won't be dangerous to people just walking around in the field.
I dont mean to be a colossal dick, but car cover/ tarp when inclement weather is called for in the winter months?
I digress, i mean if you live in a place where its a daily occurrence, I apologize.
In any case - DMV or for those of you not in that area, Marlyand and Northern Virginia drivers are simply the worst. I am one of them, but they are stupid aggressive and bad at it, which is fine, but the behavior that kills is the entitlement of the left lane. Its for passing not for schmoozing.
Im talking 8-12 lane highways where none are used for passing but just people driving at whatever fuck pace they want all over so they feel comfortable. Left lane 55 in a 55? Sure why the fuck not? Me behind you clearly wanting to get past but not being a dick about it; no please dont move over, stay there so I can pass on the right... Christ.
People who don't let everyone get off the train before trying to barge their way on with their giant oversize suitcase. It just ends up taking longer for everyone. The train I take every morning, from Bern to Z?rich, then continues to the Z?rich airport so there's always quite a few jackasses with these giant suitcases.
People who are waiting for the train who then stand right in front of the door of the train and don't get out of the way so people can get off. I've just started bodychecking them out of the way.
People who wear way too much perfume in public places. Especially on the train as I'm forced to be in an enclosed area with them for an hour+ and can't get away from the stench.
As you can probably tell I commute for over an hour+ each way on the train and these fucking people are getting to me. Have some awareness of what's going around you and some respect for your fellow passenger you dumb pieces of shit.

I have a wonderful 30 mile commute from VA suburbs to DC by way of I66. I confirm this rustling. I confirm the fuck out of it. Best part is, there ain't shit that can be done for 66. They are at least widening 95 and adding express lanes. With 66 all they can do is wreak havoc for a year while they shittily resurface the road.

When I lived further north for a short time, I used to see people just pour water on their windshield then hit it with an ice scrapper. The ice would come off quick. Not sure if it was hot, lukewarm or cold water though.

Don't use hot water. The thermal shock can crack your windshield. My wife works nights at the hospital and her window is generally frozen over and in a darkish parking lot she doesn't want to be standing outside scraping a window so she just buys those cans of deicer. That shit works well but she probably spends enough money on the shit that it rustles my jimmies a bit.
I hear that, its mostly alcohol. Can be had cheaper with the use of 1 part water 2 parts rubbing alcohol.

Yeah, pharmacy-bought rubbing alcohol on the cheap. Put combo into a water bottle and keep in the car.
Today's Rustle for me; It's raining here, but it never rains enough.

I've heard so many mixed things about this that I have no idea. I've heard people say idling is bad for the engine. I've heard people say let it idle til it hits 1500 rpm then do whatever. I've heard people say let it idle for at least 5 minutes. Who the fuck knows? Not me!

Driving in Florida is worse than anything you all encounter... take all of your crappy drivers and have them retire here, add in rich people that are constantly impatient and the working class just trying to get to work and busses that stop every 100ft because to "improve" our "public transportation" we just add more bus stops literally in 1 city block you will find 3 bus stops... mix all that ish together and enjoy.

Driving in Tampa or Miami can prepare someone for anything. I swear people in Tampa drive like their assholes are on fire and the only way to put it out is to get where they're going as fast as possible. Not that I'm opposed to this form of driving, but it's an adventure every day. Doesn't help that there's only one major highway that goes through the majority of town (I-275) and it doesn't even come near a large chunk of the city, so you end up having to do a lot of long distance driving on streets only.

tampa...don't forget to exit on the east exit to go south to downtown! tampa is literally the worst designed interstate chunk of cement in the state.... I go south and around tampa than go through it whenever possible, its longer but faster to go down and around to Brandon than through tampa to there etc.

Just moved back to VA and can confirm this as well. They are just bad. Quick fix for those assholes hanging out in the passing lane going slow: Get less than a foot off their bumper, and riiiide that highway's rumble strip until they move. It's just as loud in their car as it is yours. 90% of the time they move out of the way quick. 9% of the time they don't hear you because they have headphones or are too busy texting. The other 1% road rage right back, and proceed to have a slow race, blocking the whole highway so we all go 10 under the limit. Wheee.
At least in Mass/CT/NY people drive like assholes, but usually have skills to back it up. This happens almost daily to me in one form or another, which is why I bought a dash cam for each car (apologies for the repost from another thread)
From my dash cam, in VA of course:
