Well, I do pride myself on a nice shoveling job now and then, but, NO! I
really and truely only scrape a peep hole and hope the defroster clears the
rest before the entrance ramp. One of the only thrills of winter driving
(apart from doing doughnuts in the K-Mart parking lot) is having no rearward
visibility for the first thirty minutes! In the cold light of day I can
assure you that my brake fittings are of the standard size. On the other
hand, the oil preassure gauge does stick once in a while. I love to have
the engine off and still have 65 lbs preasure! You don't think this has
something to do with the rocker pannels do you?
