Seems I always get stuck in the rain when ever I am far from home in my Sprite.
My wipers work, and I carry a small towel to defog the inside of the windshield because the demister that came with the Sprite isn't exactly quick.
And since the top, pedals, and side curtains leak and the car gets wet inside, the defrost mechanism does nothing with all the interior dampness.
I have drilled holes along the rockers, rear quarters, and A post sides to let any water out. I know where all the rust spots are and do everything possible to let those spots air out even though I have done whatever I could to rust proof the insides of the panels.
People often say something about my Sprite getting wet, I tell them that their $40,000 minivan is getting just as wet as my $10,000 Sprite.
My favorite was when I had a Healey 3000 going down the Parkway in a snow storm and the roads were salted. I was on my way to the Atlantic City car show held in February. Someone on the Healey list saw me and made a post about some idiot in a Healey in the snow and salt.
I said that was me in my "Salt Beater", I mean, it's not worth as much as my Ford pick up truck and besides, it's easily repairable. :wink:
BTW, Sprites in the snow are a blast!
