You have to drive around in frigid temperatures with both windows rolled down and your hood is cinched tight with ratchet straps. The blower motor quit, so to keep the windows from fogging up from my breath,,, I have to drive to work with the windows down until Thursday,,, which is payday,,, so I can buy a replacement. After checking with my test light and determining it was the motor and not the resistor,,, I shut the hood, and it would not latch...... upon inspection,,, I saw the spring was gone,,, looked everywhere in the snow for it,,,, no lunch.... so ratchet straps it is,,,, for now.

I lived in Kentucky for a spell. At that time (maybe still) they had no state inspection. You're riding in style compared to some of the vehicles I've seen rolling down the roads there.
Eh...wot?

They have to be Chartreuse colored straps to get street creds. They have to be Chartreuse colored straps to get street creds. Guilty as charged

At least you didn't have the hood fly up and break the windshield.

You know you're a redneck when you become totally incapacitated because of a bit of cool weather.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I had my blower go out on a rainy day when I was out of town down in Texas. Sure made it hard to see with those windows fogging up and pulling that 18" trailer.
I stopped picked up a blower pulled into a car wash bay so I could change it and stay out of the rain.
I have tied a hood down with tarp strap before. Be careful driving tell you can get your new one in. Driving with those fogged up windows sure was not a good way to have to drive.

or are you a real redneck when you drive around like that way past pay day.
my cousins car when we were in high school a dodge colt 4 of us would pile in after wrestling practice so the heat part didn't matter but it was the passengers job to keep wiping the inside of the windshield the gas tank strap had rusted through so it had a 2x4 and several wraps of fencing wire to hold that side on

I just have to limp it around tomorrow,,, payday is Thursday,,, no intention on even trying to attempt trying to drive it past Thursday without the proper repairs,,, just too dangerous,, especially in these kind of conditions
