Because there are more than twice as many sober people driving than drunk people.
If 99% of people are driving sober and cause 66% of the accidents whereas 1% drive drunk and cause 33% of accidents, the problem is pretty obvious.

The way I understand it (without Googling. Cause I wanna see if I'm right or stupid), carbs are metabolized into sugar. And not good sugar. And lots of sugar wreaks havoc on your metabolism, insulin levels, and ends up being a lot of calories you don't need. Unless I'm wrong. Which is possible. In fact, it's likely.
The short answer is they don't avoid carbs as such, only part of the time. When they do, they do it to lose fat, in order to show off the muscles more clearly. A high protein, low carb diet combined with training allows you to keep up your muscle mass almost perfectly while still losing weight (fat).
That being said, training with weights burns carbs, so in order to train effectively, you need a certain amount of carbs. Endurance sports like running can use both fat and carbs, but the muscle fibers used to lift heavy weights only function properly on carbs.
So a "standard" (there's a lot of religion involved in what to eat when training/building) way to bodybuild is to gain for a certain amount of time (weeks or months), consuming high amounts of carbs (for energy to train) and high amounts of protein (to build muscle). This is followed by a period of cutting, when you keep up your training, eat few carbs and a lot of protein in order to not lose the mass you build, but lose fat.
And to answer Gettinglt, carbs do metabolize into sugar(ish), but that is in and of itself neither good nor bad. Too many carbs can indeed lead to overweight, blood sugar problems, and all sorts of other things, but certain types of muscle fibers, not to mention your brain, can only function on carbs, so they're also necessary to stay healthy.
When talking about "bad" carbs, people usually mean high energy foods with little other nutritional value other than pure energy from the carbs. High sugar foods leap to mind (candy, soft drinks, certain types of fast food). If you eat a lot of those, you'll usually consume far too many calories for your body to process, leading to overweight, diabetes, and so on and so forth.

You can: Keep it in a garage to shield it from the snow. Clean up any frost with a vinegar & water solution.

Well, we have a single garage that serves as both a storage room and my dad's mancave, and multiple cars in the family. Even if we found a space to put all the stuff, we'd have to rotate in some sort of contrived schedule, so that's out of the question.
I mean as it stands, I can get rid of all the frost with a scraper or even my fist easily, it's a matter of how do I get it to not come back?

Make a deal with: The Devil God Jack Frost Santa(?) or maybe Chill…
but never Mother Nature. She'll 'compromise' and no one wants that. Only go to her if the above doesn't work out.

I could compromise with Mother Nature. She puts the frost on the outside of my car, and I can get rid of it with de-icing fluid and/or wipers. And it'll all stay on the outside instead of on my pants.
