It allows me to drive around with the windows down in the summer. It ensures that the car wash does a great job. It has a low cost and can be easily washed. It even cleans up random accidental spills!
Of course, I’m talking about an ordinary dish towel.
My car usually has miscellaneous paperwork in the back seat. I don’t sit back there, so what do I care? No I don’t know what it is, but I can’t just throw it away. It might be important!
I can’t drive with my windows down or papers will surely fly out, and we can’t have that! Luckily, I have a nice dish cloth in my back seat, so in the summer, it’s used to cover papers so they don’t blow away.
Or after the car wash does a shabby job drying my car, I just pull around to the pumps (sheets there’s light, because it’s naturally 10:00 at night) and hand-dry my car (before it freezes in the winter!).
Tonight I had a problem worse than I’ve had before. My window fogged up worse than ever. I wasn’t able to see, and of course the window got worse on the 94 on ramp from 6th Street.
I pulled over on Riverside. I was stranded. Hot air didn’t work. Cold air didn’t work.
I finally thought back to my 2nd grade school bus driver who, in poor weather, would wipe the front window with a rag from a bucket of water.
So I reached back to my trusty car rag and started scrubbing down the windshield.
Eventually, I figured out that the best way to keep my window so I could see through it was scrubbing it and having the cold AC air blow on the window plus have the driver’s window down.
Now I know what you’re thinking, and yes, that is a great way to cool down.
