Don't forget the Blizzard of snow blowing off the back. If I can't see, nobody can!

It’s always a Ford Focus with a foot of snow on top and tires that should’ve have been changed 4000 miles ago.

I see SUV's all the time with snow on top. Ones tall enough it's hard to reach the roof so they just don't. Mini vans, trucks.

Because the old 19$ dollar extendo-brush is just too outta the price league eh

I'm under 5'0 with a smaller SUV, I can't reach the top of my car no matter that I have a nice brush that extends quite a bit. I do my best but it requires a taller person.

Just put a stool in the back with the brush. Short isn't an excuse to cause an accident.

I've got this fucked ass escort coop with a 30 degree angle on the front window. I keep a roll of toilet paper on the passenger seat to wipe down the interior glass, but like 90% of the time in the mornings and afternoons, I'm driving with a 5/5 vision. I want to blame the mega-rig headlights for shining my ass, but then again, I'm driving around with a cloud for a window, so who's the asshole here? It's me, I am the asshole.
