Yeah, I was dealing with a semi truck doing something very similar to me on the mountain roads past Lake Of The Woods. I finally got past him, and he started flying towards me down a mountain road hauling a crap ton of logs. I enjoy having an economical car that can also get me far away from hostile drivers. Bleh.

While driving back home, there was a big stormy patch with a lot of downfall. I noticed that:

-water wouldn’t flow at the base of the windshield, ahead of the wipers

-water would split off to each of the A-pillars, and sort into the rain gutters

-water wouldn’t really flow down the rear glass. Like, at all. It would sometimes trickle down in random spots, maybe.

Upon getting home, I annoyed my girlfriend by standing and staring at the car while she needed help unloading her stuff. I noticed stains left by dust/water streams. One had spanned the belt-line of the side panels, and wrapped over the C-pillar. The other had trailed down off the rain gutter and onto the trunk lid. It looked a bit turbulent.


I will take some pictures tomorrow, to better explain.
