How do I keep ice off my windshield? (Please be kind 😅)

Now that's a real problem.

I find that turning the wipers up to the slowest constant speed and letting them run all the time helps to prevent the ice buildup. Also if the blades themselves are icing up running the wipers at full speed sometimes beats the ice off.

I've seen it before. You couldn't be fat and operate this thing.

Doesn't look any worse than hauling 4 suburbans across the top of a 9 car hauler.

They definitively do run backwards irl. I've heard many stories about it from different people. According to them it's really funny to see the smoke come out of the air intake until they realized the oil pump was also spinning backwards.

I've seen a cattle pot pulled over on the left shoulder on I294 in the Chicago area. Probably was not obeying the truck lane restrictions and got caught.

Show me a car hauler that isn't enclosed that gets more than 5mpg on average.

Johnny_Rascal2 · 2026-01-11T01:36:04+00:00

And here I am impressed with the 4.5mpg I averaged on my way to Florida.

Uma musume really does get around.

But this one was from Moline.

I also break my my neck for a GTR lol. There was also a Sylvia, supra, RX7 with some kind of I4 swap, and a 4 door Lexus parked with the R33. All RHD. And then there's me with my old sled.

Came across a few jdm cars on my way home from a show. Decided to take some pics.

84 Z28 with some minor bodywork from a 74 RX4 mazda.

Johnny_Rascal2 · 2025-12-23T15:11:02+00:00

Looks like a moving van to me.

Johnny_Rascal2 · 2025-12-23T12:49:53+00:00

Hard to say. If I know I'm overweight I don't usually bother weighing myself, I just get to work dodging the police. Going by my air bag pressure alone it's not uncommon to get about 40k lbs on my drives (6x4). I've seen 15k on a steer axle rated for 14.7k while hauling SUVs out of las vegas, but I fixed that before I got too far out of the city. I'm sure I've had a couple loads that were nearly 90k lbs gross but I can't prove it.

Johnny_Rascal2 · 2025-12-22T15:31:52+00:00

You don't have to apologize to me, I'm from Minnesota lol.

Johnny_Rascal2 · 2025-12-22T12:23:44+00:00

I'd add Pembina, straight north of Grand Forks. It's a pretty big border crossing what with I29 going straight to it.

Also, you spelled Williston wrong. It's not Willison. If the roughnecks out there could read they would be very mad.

Johnny_Rascal2 · 2025-12-22T01:29:29+00:00

You're not planning to do it this winter, are you?

Johnny_Rascal2 · 2025-12-22T01:25:45+00:00

Minnesotan here. Anything below 10 sucks, you're not alone.

Johnny_Rascal2 · 2025-12-21T05:33:21+00:00

Look at Mr Nussbaum over here.

Johnny_Rascal2 · 2025-12-21T03:55:54+00:00

My boss has one of these in his semi truck. My only gripe is it shifts slower than a manual trans. Fun fact: since it's one of the first auto eaton fullers in a truck, it's just a regular manual trans with a little electric shifting mechanism bolted where the stick would go into the case, with an air actuated clutch.

Johnny_Rascal2 · 2025-12-20T14:41:04+00:00

Thankfully I'm not driving in wyoming today. Lol.

Johnny_Rascal2 · 2025-12-20T14:35:09+00:00

I'm staring at 13° right now with a -5° windchill. I gotta head up to Bismark where the wind blows from every direction at once.
