Here's a solution I plan to follow for a long time. Don't drive. For me, the bus takes me where I need to go, theres never trouble starting the engine, it's always warm when I get in, and the passes are cheaper than gas by FAR. Either that, or get some roller blades. Been raining for 3 days here now, non stop. Freeezing rain at that. I slip on my ass on some ice, then get soaked by the puddle I end up falling in, and then my shoes (with way too many holes) freeze along with my feet. As for the kids, rawk on dude.
