My daughter has just moved to Saint Paul (a lovely city, I find) and this will be her first winter there. The car (1998 Toyota) has a battery with 550 charging amps, and the anti-freeze is good until 35 below zero.
As I live in California, I've never experienced winters like they have, and neither has she.
How does one even get the key into the car door when it's frozen? She will not be parking in a garage, but outdoors. I read somewhere that vinegar & water in a spray bottle, sprayed onto car windows, will keep ice and frost from forming. Can this be true?
I'd appreciate any hints on how to open the car door (somehow a big worry of mine) and/or how to keep the car doing okay during winter.
Thanks so much.
