Wiper delete

I deleted my wipers over the weekend and like the streamlined look from the driver’s seat. The wipers are not "hidden" from the wind at all on this truck unlike most cars so I suspect I should get a measurable gain. This morning I hit a very solid 33.5 on the way in to work. It would have been better but I had a little bad luck at the start with some stop lights. I was getting around 40 on many of the straights. With a little luck I think I could hit a new one way record of 36 soon!
