Ok, a pine needle falls from a tree, without alot of velocity mind you... and settles gently into your windshield wiper. Then! You drive down the road and the little ****er is there driving you bonkers! You speed up to about 40mph, no dice, still hanging on.. so you go a little faster, now you're going 55, still hanging on. You're like WTF!? Now all bets are off, you break the law big time and cruise up to 80 or so, still won't come off. Now, how the hell does a freakin' pine needle that fell at a really slow, gentle fall manage to hang on to your wiper like it does? Sometimes you'll get out of your seatbelt and risk an accident just to get to it. Or god forbid use your wipers to get it close to the edge... then you have all the crud all over your windshield. I live close to the ocean, so if I use my wipers like that it'll be smudged like crazy! Don't you hate those little damned pine needles?
+2 I've had that before, but I never have sped up that fast. If I'm felling lazy hit the wiper blades on or pull over and take it off lol.
I live in New Mexico....we don't have trees However, I feel your pain as I lived in the middle of a pine forest in Germany, and North Carolina has alot of Pine trees as well. Just one of those things I guess..........
If the the sap/juice is so sticky, why did it fall out of the tree in the first place? I'm with Husky44, they're out to get you man.
I haven't counted the pine trees in the yard, but there are a ton! I think the pollen (green dust) that falls off the trees for a month in the spring is the worst!
I hate it during the summer the spray like say blows off the ash tree's and get's everywhere. Hard to get it all off to since they spec's all over. If you can understand that lol.
pine pollen in Ga is horrible. you can actually see it blowing out of the trees and collecting along the sides of the roads. yuk
Between the green dust and the sand that never comes out of your carpet, I'll never live in NC again! Of course, the sand spurs and fire ants didn't help, but at least they didn't hose up your car!
I took my carpet out two weeks ago to this place that does sand blasting but with water, sure works wonders. Not a grain of sand or anything is left, although the carpet still is lol.
Given the cheap price for a new carpet, I'm not sure if I would have done all that work and reinstalled the old one. Unless of course your car has low miles and the carpet is still like brand new.
