Snow kicking up over the entire car as you kick it sideways in the winter=fun.
Front and rear wipers to see where your going while having said fun= priceless

Does it not rain or snow in your areas?
Because I thank the Mitsu God everyday for putting that thing on there due to all the crap that falls out of Coloradan skies...
DAMN. I need to move... Haha

After working all night I'm not in the mood to scrape ice. If I warm the car before leaving the front defroster will clear the front but the rear defroster is kinda worthless. But once I get moving I get that back wiper going with some solution spraying.

As you say, no rear wiper on the Subie. When I drive mine I miss it.

It's for when you go off-road and need to get the dirt off the rear windshield haha. That's just my theory.

Doesn't anyone remember 2 fast and 2 furious? when paul walker was driving in reverse down the highway? That's why we have a rear wiper, you couldn't do that without one. It wouldn't be safe.

I don't know what it is for, but after having it, I don't want to go back.

Very useful in the rain.

Yeah but when we finally got the car here it was an VIII, and Mitsubishi knew we were all gonna try and be like Sir Paul and try it, they were just looking out for our safety.

They look out for our safety, but if you fail in the recreation process of "Sir Paul's" stunt, they won't service your car.
