Default Am I a Moron For This?

I JUST realized I can do this... and I've had Chery for two years... and another Cherokee before her!



Just thought I'd share my idiocy.

Well, I found out when I hit a tree and it didn't snap off, but instead just folded right in! It comes in handy all the time now!

I owned my last car for 4 years before I figured it out so I tested it a while back on my cherokee. But I did only recently find out the wiper arms can be locked away from the windshield hah

Heh, I don't know if my 87s would do that.

I know my passanger side is just hanging from a spring or something right now.

But I've been trying to get it to fall off.

I discovered my 96 mirrors fold real well....after making contact with a tree.


Also applies to my right rear window rail guide, rear hatch, and front bumper. Me and trees don't get along so well.

x2! and how can our wiper blades be locked back? I have been trying since I bought her to do that so it's easier on me when I replace wiper blades....
