I was listening to the show again on PodCast and thought about the reply for how to thaw the ice that was locking in the Mini. Click and Clack suggested copious amounts of boiling water, for the melt, but doesn’t hot water refreeze faster? What about adding something to the water that will change the freeze point? ---

All water freezes at the same temp. Therefore, the hotter water will take a bit longer to cool off and reach the 32 degrees F freezing point. ---

Hello, Haven’t you knuckleheads heard of rock salt? . It is the same stuff the plows strafe my vehicle with, and leaves a white haze all over my black truck. Also this would have given those working aroung the car a little more traction. Respectfully, Lou From the Salt City of sunny Syracuse, New York
