Have you noticed that when water starts accumulating on the front of the hood or the bumper and you get a bit of speed, the draft over the hood starts a hose-like spray to the windshield?
First time I saw this my eyes got stuck in the back of my head from the major eye roll.

Yeah, you should see what happens when you are driving in thick fog! I was doing this :eek: just to be able to see because of the condensation that was collecting on the windshield because of the air going over the hood scoop. Not good when you are trying to drive 60 mph on a windy road at 4:30 a.m. in the morning! I thought there was something wrong with my windshield defroster.:rolleyes:

You guys are funny:lol: :lol: :lol: laughing with you...
I just love the fact that this is the cars first year out and we totally have to nit-pick to find anything unpleasant about it.:lol:
While we're at it!!! How come the air cond. knob points up to turn on the floor vents and down to turn on the dash vents???!!!
I want my money back!!! (JK)
FACT: truth be told, I wouldn't change a thing...
Oh...accept for intake and exaust and hoses and blow off and unichip and short shifter and 17's and sway bars and coil overs and waist spoiler and stereo and lights and window tint and a little more boost and a bigger intercooler and and and and and and... man I love my car.:D

Rain X rain x rain x.. It is the year 2002 and we have rain x on the shelves at the autoparts store. Use it if you no likey the water thingy to stick onto the windshield thingy. That is by far a cheap fix to the water hose like thing that never even bothered me a bit. But it is there.
At speeds well over you stated and then into a splash nothing goes into the windshield !!!! That is the desighn so drive faster next time LOL :lol:
What else can I pick on? :)
Ahhh! The e brake is really not a positive feel when you pull it. it sorta locks and still gets about a 8 inch play on the wheels at the lock position. JDM models do not have play on the new models and remember when they said better e brakes for turning.

yes, RainX is the shizz. I never believed it until I tried it. Now I'm a convert. I don't know about the FogX ***** though, I didn't have much luck with that stuff. But the defroster works great for me, though I don't have a WRX so my point obviously isn't as valid:lol:

Maybe that's why Tommi keeps on crashing!!
I had the Rain-X on my car. I guess that's what I get for trying to drive faster than conditions would dictate. Love the car but would rather have one of the ones in that Gumball 3000 vid!:D
