> Probably would have died of exposure. Cars don’t retain heat worth a durn.

They do have motors, horns, and heaters tho’.

And if you keep your petrol tank full (as you should in Winter anyway, to prevent condensation and to give your vehicle more weight) the motor and heater can keep you toasty warm for a long, long time if you don’t run it nonstop.

And the horn makes a great signaling device: three long, three short, three long would do the trick.

Pile snow over one and pretty fast the gap under it between the wheels is a conduit for your exhaust to injest into your AC system. You die even faster then.

My plan, should I ever get stuck like that, is to drink lots of whiskey and go to sleep. That way, I don't have to worry about ever waking up in a place that frigging cold.....

I keep my 2nd Carhartt overalls in the back of my jeep all winter, along with a couple of wool blankets, mittens, snowmobile boots and a bag of snacks and jerky. I could last quite a while if I were ever break down on the highway.
