I use those ceramic insulation tubes. They’re amazing.

I’ve been carrying the same US-made stainless Kershaw Leek for maybe eight years. EDC as well as a work knife. Countless cardboard boxes and copper wire stripping. Still looks new. I use some Goo-Gone to get rid of tape glue and finish with Mpro7 oil and an edge-hone with a ceramic insulation tube. I find them to be just the perfect level of abrasion for restoring an edge.

Well, I have my video and listening devices set and turned on. My claymore mines are positioned and wired up. The trip wires to my homemade "bouncing betty" anti personnel mines are stretched tight.

So, I'm ready for the results to be announced later. I might as well go take a nap -

Were you tailgating? I hear wiper fluid is gaining popularity over the brake check.

I would totally vote for you if you also included making it a criminal offense to be passed on the right.

That's how it is in Germany. Let me tell you the flow there is pretty damn good. On the backroads though people won't even do 5 over.

Road Rage. Death Penalty. Murder. 2nd Amendment. These issues really take on a different meaning in this circumstance. If your wind screen is so filthy that you cannot safely operate a vehicle at 70MPH then you should be forced to deal with that situation long before you get to 70MPH, yes?

Vote for me and I will impose an automatic windscreen washer shutoff at 3MPH for all USDM vehicles. And also, please at least be willing to vote for me so I can relive my 20s and 30s. Thank you all in advance.

LOL
California problems.
Rest assured that in many places you need to wash your windshield at 70 mph. Sometimes frequently on the same short trip. Only Californian's think that windshield washing at speed is weird since they do it every six months or so.

45 minutes after a complete wash! I assure you I did indeed use the windshield washer several times.

Only if you make it a capital offense to drive below the speed of traffic in the left lanes.
You blocking the left or center lanes you can bet your ass I am going around you on your right.

If it is an offense to be passed on the right, that means the asshat in the left lane broke the law if you need to pass them in the right lane.

Well that is one hell of a convoluted way to get to that.

It makes for a great ballot question though.

That's fair... and accurate... Ish. However comma I would like to take this opportunity to orate an argument that everyone in that driving environment is in the same shitshow as you are. Therefore, henceforth, and forevermore, the slinging of some version of 50/50 wind screen washer mix raining down upon you like manna from heaven is, at the very least, most welcome.

I'm quite certain there is common ground if, perhaps, I refer you to Exhibit B. Day 4 of 17 you call summer. You've spent the money you swore to your wife you misplaced and have your car detailed to enjoy the next 13 days. Some bloke has decided to negate summer and instead spray what chemically reduces down to some bizarre version of Windex all over your pristine car.

Would you vote for me then?

Follow up question. Are those hubcaps?

I wash my car every day in the summer. Not a hope I will pay somebody to do it.

Yes they are hubcaps. My wife gave them to me for Christmas the first year I had the car. I thanked her and put them on. I have "forgotten" to every year since.
