What about these huge semi-trucks -- drive all night in that kind of

Or airplanes?
Or navy destroyers?

Regarding this, seems as if all of those vehicles you mentioned have
flat windshields, making for better wiper/glass contact.

Maybe you ought to look into replacing your curved windshield with a
nice flat one ...


Hells yes. if you can get me a good deal on an early Studebaker C-cab
pickup, or better yet, a Coupe Express, I'd be happy to trade in my F-150

Which prompts a question; did any passenger car ever come with a
flat-glass windshield *and* a high compression V-8? (pretty much
required for "daily driver" duty in modern traffic.) I'm thinking maybe
not; earliest ones I can think of are 49 Caddy, 49 Olds, and 51 Stude,
all of which had curved glass.
