Thanks for the welcome!
MadisonMPG, I didn't expect too much from the passenger wiper delete, but--at $0.00 and 10 seconds with a socket wrench--it doesn't need to do much to justify its existance.
Priced a automotive back-up camera and I think I can rule that out! (Perhaps I'll try to salvage a webcam from a junked computer or outdated digital camera...?)
Oh, and a cool goal would be to "out-MPG" my ma's Fusion Hybrid! (That would require 39-ish MPG, based on what she's getting...though I think my best chance will be during the winter...
)
