Okay, coming onto an S2000 forum where we all have convertible cars and saying you like to throw cigar butts out and try and land them on the DRIVER, hence BURNING THEM, or the insides of the car, makes you an a$$hole. Sorry, but if you throw one of those in my car and permantantly burn or scar me, or even worse, have it land in the car and possibly set my interior on fire, you better hope that I do not catch you. When I do catch you, you should pray there is a cop around before you get the $hit kicked out of you! There is NOTHING funny about throwing a hot cigar butt at someone....NOTHING! How would you like it if I burned you and scared your stupid a$$??

If you were kidding, that is cool....I just know of some people that have had that happen and their car almost caught fire, so I am a little sensitive to it. My bad.

I have to revive this old thread. I swear I'm going to take the bus next time.

Now I think windshield washers should be BANNED from a stopped vehicle as well. Here is what happened: I was behind a BMW 740 this morning, stopped at a traffic light. I was a good 4-5 feet behind him, and he decided to use his windshield washers. Well, all I saw were four streams of liquid that went completely over the top of his car and headed straight for MY HOOD If my car was any closer, it would have entered the passenger compartment because my top was down.

I am taking the bus.

by friends old Cherokee had the rear window spray nozzle, and every time I was behind him, he would spray it, and for some reason or other it would spray directly behind his car, not sure if he did this on purpose or if it broke, but it was funny.

Turning on your windshield washers is also a good way to get tailgaters to back off.

You can't assume they're all aimed incorrectly, they're just richocheting off the windshield since they're spraying at a high velocity.

My prelude washer nozzles are right under the hood, so they aren't aimed very high, so when I'm at a stop, they don't shoot far enough to hit the cars behind me. But if I'm on the freeway, the wind will carry a lot of the fluid to tailgating cars.

I like how they did the washer nozzles on the Infiniti G35s. They're built into the actual wiper arm itself, so they spray right above the wiper as the arm is moving. Pretty nifty. But hard to get tailgaters
