Did that guy just change your whole parking life or what? I totally get it though, there's nothing worse than a dead battery when your hood is jammed up against a wall and you're already late somewhere. I started doing the pull-through thing after my dad yelled at me about it for years (dads, right?) and honestly it makes jumping way less of a nightmare. Plus you look like you actually know what you're doing when you leave, which is a nice bonus.

Ugh yes this is so real. Spent 4 weekends last winter chasing a cold spot in my bedroom and it turned out to be a gap behind the baseboard where the drywall didn't meet the floor. I had already added weatherstripping to two windows and insulated the whole rim joist area for nothing. A smoke pencil works but the cheap ones are kinda weak, and the IR thermometer only helps if there's a big temp difference. What finally saved me was turning on a box fan in the doorway and feeling around with a wet hand, the cold air hits your skin way faster than smoke moves. Still felt pretty dumb when I found it though.
