A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.

It was really popular in the early 90's. The downside is that they were usually just cheap plastic frames hilding the blades, so it was replaced as a unit.

My buddy has them on his truck. I think they have them at Walmart. His aren't very long though. Maybe 14" or so.

Yeah I seen lots of em back in the day. They're wonderful for burning up wiper motors prematurely.

I still have an antenna bent up like a lighting bolt hanging in my garage. It is next to the fuzzy dice, the cb radio and my old musical horn. Oh the times of past.
