works great as it is flexiblle enough to conform to curves!use a STRONG scraper, that has a slight curver in it...and doesn't have a brush and all sorts of gadgets attached to it...really I find that annoying when the ice is laid on thick on its 20 below zero (thats fahrenheit)
actually when winter comes around sometimes it will be a half to 3/4ths an inch thick...requires some serious leverage to get it off and I've broken many an ice scraper in my lifetime, but then again I live in minnesota, maybe the Ca guys can chime in and tell us their horror stories

I was afraid of that also, the slush that is . I used a scraper on my old car but no way on my RX8. If you don't have a garage there are portable garages that are reasanable around 500 or maybe a car cover.

Not really sure if this is the most economical solution. But does anyone have remote start on their 8's? It would have other purposes of course besides melting the ice, because it would warm up your engine etc. The application is mostly for AT but there are some applications for MT, not sure about the 8 though. If I lived back up north, I'd look into it.
