Icy Electra

The past day or so, the high temperature has been hovering around freezing temperatures; it was been dropping below freezing throughout the night. This weather is the worse than just tons of snow. The rain freezes overnight and creates slippery black ice. And what is worse is that it snows overnight so it covers the ice resulting in worse conditions. There are very few things in life that bring me more joy than waking up to Electra covered by ice that's cover by snow. And what is more fun than driving on hazardous roads with drivers who can barely handle when there's a half inch of snow on the ground? It's like playing a real life game of Mario Kart but instead of 11 computers, you're driving with hundreds of other cars who drive like 5 year olds in Mario Kart and your car can actually get damaged!

Changing the topic: For many years of my life, I've observed many different ways people use their windshield wipers. As with handwriting, I think you can learn a lot about someone by their windshield wipers habits. The "average" person usually sets it to one of the various speeds depending on the weather and leaves it untouched. The scared and cautious drivers have it on the fastest setting possible no matter if it's just a sprinkle (Mostly women from my observations). For those who are more proactive and need to be in control probably initiate each wipe (This is me most of the time. I love the feeling of Electra's wiper lever! Many cars don't have the "one time" wipe feature; it's a must-have for me). Many times an intelligent person can be mistaken for a lazy one; in this windshield analogy, the situation remains true. You may assume that people that don't use the it windshield wipers are just too lazy but that's not always the case. Those people may be the brightest and safest drivers on the road if they use products like Rain-X or Aquapel; they don't actually need to use their wipers since the rain/snow just repels away. You probably could have guessed, I'm one of those smart and safe drivers.

You know how most cars' windshield wipers go in one directions? Electra is super special and her wipers go in opposite directions!
