My ice chunk oddity is that I won't kick it off in someone's parking lot. I don't want to leave behind a mess. And yes, I was a Girl Scout as a child.

Last year I kicked a huge chunk off my car, and it took some sort of wire and plug with it. Apparently it went to one of the little lights on the side of the car, cuz one of the little lights on the side of my car doesn't work anymore.

A Great Winter Sport

The best part of winter, the best part by far,

Is kicking those ice chunks that form on your car.

No matter our ages or races or genders

We all enjoy booting that slush off our fenders. 

It's deeply fulfilling, that contact and sound

of boot hitting chunk and then chunk hitting ground.

It makes you feel better, it makes your day 
brighter,

It makes your Camry about 20 pounds 
lighter!

And boy, what a workout! We all could be hunks

By starting each morning with kicking some 
chunks!

So next time you spot one, no matter how 
awesome, 

Don't wait and think maybe you might let it thaw some;

Go after it, mister! Attack it with zeal, And 

manfully give it the back of your heel!

It may take you weeks, but of course that's 
good too:

The winter goes fastrer with something to do!

For full enjoyment, you should let your ice dreads get as long as possible before kicking them off of your car. Ideally, the tire should be rubbing against it when you turn corners. On other people's cars: why stop the kicking at the ice dreads?

Or "snow boogers"

I've always referred to them as "road boogers."
