Re: Next Mod: Getting rid of windscreen wipers
I imagine that would be really high on the agenda for Maclaren drivers.This ridiculous article wrote:There’s also thought to be a fuel saving, however small, due to the lack of wiper apparatus interfering with airflow over the vehicle.
.. just replacement of your $10,000 bespoke Maclaren ultrasound generator when it gets hit by a stone or gets water in the internals.It also wrote:A lack of wipers brings with it multiple benefits to the driver. For one, no wipers means less things to break, so no more regular wiper changes.
Haven't they heard of Rainex?

Y0 Dawg, I hear you like sound wave forcefields...
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.
