I know exactly what you mean - after all the most important thing is that you have working wipers! I remember driving 30 miles in a sleet storm with my first '66 and the wiper motor quit. I ended up driving with my driver window down and my hand out front with a scraper acting like the windshield wiper - it worked but what a pain!

Hee Hee!

You can tell a bug owner especially in the winter! we are the ones with chopper mitts on with one arm out the window on the wipers and the other clutching a ice scraper to clear the frost off the inside!!!
