With the cooler weather upon us, my car windows are fogging up crazy again. Yesterday I tried applying some shaving cream on the windows but they still fogged up today. Any other tips/tricks?

Are you serious ?
Put shit on auto. It’ll turn on the a/c which dehumidifies the air and take away the fog.
I don’t understand how anyone has foggy windows

turn on the A/C, even if the compressor isn't working iirc the system will still pull moisture out. then crack the windows.

I keep a Dollarama moisture trap in the car during winter. It actually makes a difference. Cracking a window and turning on the heat seems to help too. But either way, old cars like mine will find a way to fog up despite any counter measures lol.

What worked for me when i drove shitboxes was using water ONLY, plus a rag, on all the windows. Then wipe off with a dry rag. This gets all the residue off and worked quite well for a few months until you need to do it again. + Never using the AC during winter.
They also sell anto-fog cream you can apply, but i dont recall the effectiveness of it.
My main gripe with alot of cars, especially new cars, is if you turn on the front windshield defog mode, AC always turns on, and if you have a real piece of shit car like my C7, you cant turn it off, at all. This also applies to the "foot" airflow selection as it has to dump 50% of it to the windshield.
The idea from manufacturers in front windshield mode, is to defog it quickly with AC, which it does. But on the flip side, as soon as you hit body airflow mode, the ac shuts off > then dumps all that condensate it just collected back into your car.
If your car windows are properly cleaned/dried, and you dont have holes in your roof, there is 0 reason to run AC in winter, which causes more issues than it solves.
My E250 also had this issue, except at least i could hit the AC button to turn it off right away.

That's how the function works though.. Without it you're just blowing damp air over it, and it would take forever to clear up any of the fog (and if it's really humid or the passengers are wet, it will never happen)

Got an interesting call on cell phone. Cido Research. Caller wanted to ask questions about British Columbia. Told me it would take four minutes. Caller ID shows call was from Vancouver. What was even more weird was the caller had the thickest American accent I've ever heard. So, before he got a chance to ask me questions, I asked him if he's from Texas, lol. Turns out, he's calling from Virginia. I then asked why the hell he's calling someone in Canada asking about British Columbia. Is it the current government, the opposition, etc. He couldn't answer because it all has to be unbiased. After a few more questions, he just gave up and said good bye. I searched for Cido Research and it has some affiliation with China (HK). I'm not going to answer questions until I know a bit more about the caller.
I was polite. As could be...................
He knew I was trolling. Can't a guy have some fun? I should have answered the call with my usual, ching chong, ling long, ting tong, accent.
Update: Got another call today from Cido Research. This time caller was from Toronto. Well, that’s a little closer than Virginia. Told the girl to take my number off the call list.

It doesn't matter what country you are in.
Air Conditioning dries the air, and that's how the defog works. Without it, you are blowing wet air onto it. In certain conditions that can work, like fog settled overnight and it's now dry. But you can just use the AC until it's clear either way

Anyone following the Diddy situation? I don't recall if anyone posted about it. It's all alleged at this point, but it seems like the dude has been a monster for decades now.

Diddy got arrested in the middle of the night and put on suicide watch. There may be Epstein level reveals made once everything comes out, and unlike Epstein's politician clients, celebs won't have the protection those pedophiles did.
Same guy is going after Vince/WWE. The lawsuit against Vince has been paused until the end of the year so he can investigate
They're both fucking creeps, and I hope they both go down, as well as EVERYONE who helped them do it.
