Ok so last night we got a nice long night of freezing rain.. my Jeep gets blanketed in the beautiful crystal frozen wonder that we know as Ice.
I go out and start my car so its nice and warm for my 15 minute drive into town... I leave the keys in the ignition, Spare keys in my cup holder, and all doors unlocked, shut door.
I grab my heavy duty Scraper and get to work, I start chipping away from the front right fender all the way around my beloved Jeep. As I work my way around to the passenger front door I notice it's froze shut, so I chip around the seal and begin tugging on the door.
I tug and tug and tug to no avail, finally I notice that the door is locked, I think "hm ok, I must have just unlocked my driver door.."
I go around to the driver door and it doesn't open.. "WTF..!" and I see both sets of keys are in there! "That's Okay I can get in with a coat hangar!"
So I get myself a coat hangar and make a little hook, But it doesn't wanna wedge itself in there.. so I push a little harder and just when I think its about to go in..
*BOOM* My window erupts into a shrapnel hell and tosses small shards of glass at me and all inside my interior, I let out a loud "SON OF A BITCH...." and immediately called my insurance company, who could barely contain the laughter as I told them this very story.
Tomorrow morning I make a cold drive to get it fixed, $211 of entertainment on a Friday afternoon. :)
