What better excitement for a morning when you're already running late due to clearing snow off your car... then to realize on the highway... that you're out of windshield wiper fluid ( Read more... )

:P That sucks. You were really out? I had that problem going to Pittsburg and back, but it was becuase it was so cold that the ports (nozzles? spouts? the bit the fluid comes out of?) froze over. I actually appreciated any snow that hit the winshield, because then it made it wet enough to run the wipers a little.

yeah this was a first for me
it was bone dry. Those big blue jugs? i put in like all but a cup's worth. (which I'll probably top off after my trip home tonight.

apparently I've been using alot of washer fluid this month! (the oil change guys usually top me off about that often)

most people here are pretty good, and I'm almost positive it's a law in MA. but with the taller vehicles it seems the urge to slack increases. I can't imagine driving with portholes. that's so absurdly dangerous!

THAT I'm used to... I've had my windshield cracked from ice off an overpass sign once. Scared the F* out of me. but that' can't be blamed on anyone. Likewise, clearing the top of a tractor trailer is not exactly trivial... I'm sure they SHOULD but I won't blame them if they don't... privately owned vehicles though? mrrrr. it grates.

EW, suckage. I had a similar thing. I was driving to school yesterday to meet a project and I had forgotten it snowed. So I had to take 15 minutes to dig out the car and wipe it down.
