Would this work as sun protection for a car I rarely use? I mean, the obvious answer is yes, so I’m mostly wondering if the material it’s made out of is suited for summer months as well (I do see the maximum temp at 140…). Anyone know anything about that kind of stuff and things?
@El_Oel@jst1ofknd@zhicks1987 …every night at 9pm I must go to the computer and log in to meh!.. to click.

The wife wanted me to cancel my mehmership. I just flat out out said no. I occasionally find things I need. This and the games are my most recent purchases.
I have one like this and it’s great to have sometimes, but one of my complaints is that your windshield has to be dry when you put this on. If it’s wet, it will just freeze to your windshield and tear into shreds when you try to take it off. Also if you get deep snow it’s very heavy to remove.

@katbyter Good points, I’ll skip this as I don’t live in snow it’d only be used for Tahoe trips… I was thinking the mirror covers would be the best part for me.
@katbyter Basically, they’re good once- as prep for a big storm, but once it has passed, there’s usually too much residual snow left on the vehicle to put it back on afterwards
@jaimelobo cocaine, it’s a common drug up north because it just falls from the sky. Some people use so much of it they become called Snowmen.
That’s what Frosty the Snowman is about. It’s about a pimp who snorts a bunch of snow and becomes “alive” and starts dancing around town in his silk pimp hat.
He only stops a moment when he thinks he’s about to get busted by a cop that hollers “stop”.
@rpstrong We’re actually WAY WAY down on rain. Statistically the hurricane-season rainfall always makes it look like everything is “per usual” when we’re actually having what is effectively a drought because all the rain fell in a week.
2 years ago it was the same story - this lead to an aggressive blight that swept through slash pines and numerous varieties of oaks (thankfully not liveoaks) - Pinellas county lost like 20% of their trees. I had to take 4 down on my tiny half-acre lot.
@Pufferfishy I’m thinking of Pensacola, where I spent about a year. ‘Daily’ rain might be pushing it, but it was close . . . but it was also typically over in five to ten minutes.
And dang - I just looked up Pinellas county, and I am surprised about there being a fire watch when you’re so surrounded by water.
Dunno why I’m surprised. I live in the SoCal where beach front communities were just recently swept away in blazes.
[And I’m in the mountains; in a seriously high risk area.]
@Pufferfishy
We’re still dealing with the aftermath of the Emerald Ash Borers having killed all of the ash trees on our approx. 7 acres of woods.
I’m cutting them down [and up for firewood] as fast as I can, but the roots and trunks are rotting through now, so they’re blowing down all over the place- luckily only a few have landed on our driveway.
Our woods look like they’re midway through a game of pick-up sticks…
@PhysAssist@Pufferfishy Sheesh. Reminds me of a similar die off of pine trees where I live, around
30 years ago. My brother lost 70% of the trees on his property. Kept us in firewood for a few years, till it began to moulder.
@Pufferfishy@rpstrong
Pretty much exactly the same. Initially, I was cutting down standing dead trees, but over time the trunks and roots were degraded by the groundwater that they absorbed, leading to rotting, so now many have fallen and are either laying flat[-ish] in the ground or are leaning on [and sometime damaging] other trees.
We’re in a race to remove as many as possible both to salvage them [for firewood] before they rot further and to save the trees that they’ve fallen on before they’re damaged irreparably.
@PhysAssist@Pufferfishy@rpstrong In the town I lived in when I was a kid, there’s Elm Street with lots of old lovely “stately” homes. The street was lined with elms many decades ago until Dutch elm disease killed every one of them, probably during the 1930s.
@ItalianScallion@PhysAssist@Pufferfishy@rpstrong The trees that end up rotting will enrich your soil very well, though. The best flower bed I ever had was planted where a huge willow tree came down & its roots broke down into the dirt. I had the most gorgeous delphiniums and foxgloves that grew really tall. Also daisies. I miss that garden.
@ItalianScallion@Kyeh@Pufferfishy@rpstrong
Absolutely, but since we live on a mostly wooded lot, we have no shortage of forest loam available.
Plus, the more we burn, the less we but to hear our home, and apparently it makes less of a carbon footprint to burn it than to let it rot.
@ItalianScallion@Pufferfishy@rpstrong
Not to be at all political, but those [Dutch Elm Disease, and Emerald Ash Borers, and other non-native pests] are pretty much the only immigrants that I have any issues with.
@PhysAssist I dealt with all my ash trees dying on my property in Ohio. Just under 5 acres, but I’d guess 75% of the trees were ash. All dead 0ver the course of about 5 years. It was heartbreaking. I gave up on salvage pretty quickly - can’t cross county lines with the cut wood (not that most of the NE Ohio morons cared, particularly the Amish).
Worse, they were replaced by tulip poplar - an unbelievably fast growing, self-seeding “hardwood that’s really a softwood” tree. Not unusual to see them gain 10 feet a year. The problem is they age out very quickly, and lack the fortitude to deal with Ohio winds…
@Pufferfishy
I [am] feel[-ing] your [initial] pain, and hoping not to see poplars [of any type] take over.
We have a mix of various hard and soft woods in our 8 acres, with lots of [now dead] ash, though nothing like 75%.
Our attempts to raise and plant more trees have not been very successful, with the exception of a border planting of Norway pines on our north-west property/fence-line.
We had also planted a bunch of blue spruce on the hill along our driveway, as well as a couple of other spots, but some kind of unknown blight took them all a couple of years ago.
@PhysAssist@Pufferfishy@rpstrong Well, my friend who used a wood stove on the coldest days will feel better about it, than - I’ll send him those articles. His house is very old and drafty.
“Is it available in Georgia Red: No, and who cares, it’s just gonna get covered in snow anyway.”
What? But, but… my car is red. Until the snow comes I won’t have a matching fashion statement parked on the street in front of my house. I live in a respectable neighborhood. It’s even an historic district. We have rules!
/showme a car with a snowshield on the windscreen keeping sand off the windscreen while the car is parked on a tropical beach with palm trees, flamingos and crap like that.
These won’t work on a Ford F150, or any car with an aluminum body. Also, the wind can lift the windshield cover and move it, causing the magnetized parts to scratch the paint.
Aren’t they magnets imbedded in the material? And what is the chance these will get frozen on the car rendering it unable to be driven because then you can’t even scrape it until it thaws?
@jmrobinett Yes, they’re embedded. I’ve had a similar version freeze to the windshield. It comes off and it’s still less ice than it might’ve been. With mine the issue is the elastic got frozen and ruined when I had to remove it.
Just got my cover and got it put on. It looked pretty cheezy coming out of the bag. But it actually fix my '21 Acadia like it was made for it.
Now the plastic hooks at the end of the stretch straps ARE pretty cheezy and if too much tension is place on em they’ll probably open up and release. Maybe not.
I gave a little extra slack and wrapped the strap around the rim spoke then clipped it on. That should let the strap take more force and the plastic clip just snaps on the spoke. Guess I shall see when this winter storm gets here

Will these cover my margarita?
@yakkoTDI possibly? you could fashion it into an apron and mitts to cover you whilst blending the margarita!

@mattykillpatty Why not just get a whole car cover? Sun damages your paint finish too.
@therealjrn yeah, you’re not wrong. I just really liked the price…
@mattykillpatty Yea but the rear window too…maybe get some of those “space blankets” and fashion something?
@mattykillpatty Weathertech makes all-window sunshade covers.

@Pufferfishy And rain. Daily.
@rpstrong We’re actually WAY WAY down on rain. Statistically the hurricane-season rainfall always makes it look like everything is “per usual” when we’re actually having what is effectively a drought because all the rain fell in a week.
2 years ago it was the same story - this lead to an aggressive blight that swept through slash pines and numerous varieties of oaks (thankfully not liveoaks) - Pinellas county lost like 20% of their trees. I had to take 4 down on my tiny half-acre lot.
We are currently under a fire watch.
I think you’re thinking of the East coast…
@Pufferfishy I’m thinking of Pensacola, where I spent about a year. ‘Daily’ rain might be pushing it, but it was close . . . but it was also typically over in five to ten minutes.
And dang - I just looked up Pinellas county, and I am surprised about there being a fire watch when you’re so surrounded by water.
