Hey Yall....

Has this ever happend to you?

Okay, this morning I slept in like an hour before I go to school.... I was like "CRAP!" and got ready for school as fast as I could. Once I was all done getting ready for school, I grab my stuff, grab my keys, and run out the door to my celica.

It was a very cold morning, frost everywhere! Thick frost, might I add. I go to the trunck, stick the key in to unlock it and I litteally had to pry open the trunck cuz it frosted over. I throw my stuff in, shut it, then go to get in the car. I stick the key in the door.... Ha! it wouldn't even budge! I couldn't even stick the key in i was so frozen!

So here I am with a car completely frozen over, and running late for school. LOL I run to the trunk, grab my stuff and had to walk. Luckily... I live within a block of my school... Im just a lazy ass and drive everyday, when I could just walk 50 feet to the school.

I knew I shoulda put my celica out the cold and into the carport.... Oh well

But yeah, what do you do if your car is frozen over like that? LOL this is my 1st car so I dont really know

Do ya just throw on hot water?

I went outside last night to get in my car and it was practically a blizzard and it was about 10 degrees out here (I work close to the mountains) I stuck my key in my car, turned it, pulled it out and tried to open it....the door wouldn't budge while I was pulling up on the handle. I went to the passenger side and tried the same thing and thank god it opened. I climbed in and lifted myself over the center console and started the car and tried to get out again....my car wouldn't let me out of either door! I was like oh shiz that sucks!!! So I warm it up a bit and turn on the heater and after a while just sitting there my doors warm up and finally open.

So yeah I have sort of been there. Anybody know what could of caused this? I think the inside of the door somehow got wet and the locking mechanism got stuck or the door latch wouldn't disengage. I don't know....I don't mean to thread hijack but I need to know just so this doesn't happen again.
