Default It's 0°F in Chicago and my neighbor has had her Passat Wagon washed because...

she couldn't stand to look at it with all the snow and ice. Well now she can't get in it because the locks and doors are frozen tight!! Even the trunk is frozen solid.
Oh yeah the hand car wash did a good job drying it but the moisture is still in there. If they had sprayed her seals & locks with WD 40 or silicone spray, maybe
she wouldn't be out there right now with a hair dryer, freezing her ***! She keeps calling me on the phone to find out what she can do. My lady told her keep using the hair dryer, that's the only way. She wonders why her key won't go in the lock...DUH!! She's thinking of calling AAA to open her doors. Can some one spell s t u p i d? Sorry for the rant but washing a car in this weather is sheer assinine!
