So I just finished detailing my SS and decide to go for a spin... Eastbound on the freeway, moderate traffic, #1 lane, 65 mph or so... Some Bozo in an ancient Ford pickup piece of Sh*t DIVES from the #2 lane into the #1 right in front of me...

Okay--he's a goof-ball, in a hurry, bad driver, whatever....

Then he does the ultimate: runs his Windshield-Washers for what seems 2 minutes!!! :wtf: I got no escape route! And--to boot--his "washer fluid" is not, shall we say, clean! (nor were they adjusted--most of the fluid shot OVER his windshield)...

Hmmmm--wonder if it was actually a passive-aggressive act?? :confused:

Anybody up for outlawing those darn things??!! :lol:

Gotta go--the sun's setting and I'm not yet finished detail-spraying....

I've been there before.

These idiots seem to only wash their windshields at 65+mph, when most of the stuff goes over their car an in the face of the one behind anyway.

And at the same time they're making things worse because all they're doing is smearing bugs and temporarily killing visibility when it's most important; at highway speeds.

Greg....I had the same issue on southbound Hwy 15 a few weeks ago.

Two young idiots in a POS Ford Escort, weaving throught traffic, cutting off
drivers and spraying everyone. The fools did not stop until they ran
out of fluid.

Well, consider yourself lucky you weren't behind me on a certain afternoon during the early 70's.

I was the drummer in a band, and three of us were piled in the seat of an old panel truck filled with our equipment. We were late for a gig that involved about a 100 mile drive. We had been drinking prodigious amounts of beer the entire day and nature was calling with a vengeance. I instructed the driver to pull over, so I could answer the call. He replied "We're late. I ain't stopping." and handed me an empty beer glass. Well, cutting off mid stream is difficult enough, but dumping it out the window at 60 MPH without getting it on yourself requires even greater concentration. After about three refills, I glanced in the side mirror and observed that the car following us had his wipers on. Unfortunately for him, there wasn't a cloud in the sky.
