haha sorry had to laugh at the image of you pouring water over your car.....I guess we have just learned all the tricks. Use de icer on the drivers side door, then reach in and start the car and turn the heat on full blast. Go back inside for about 5 to 10 minutes, depending on how bad the ice is (If it's just snow just use an ice scraper right then over the car). Go back out and use an ice scraper over the car, the heat from the inside will have helped it by then. Of course, I too prefer to just park in the garage, much easier
