A lot of cars now seem to have the spray nozzles set so you can still use them when going highway speeds...Both my old '93 and my newer '01 F-150 spray fine at slower speeds, but on the highway the fluid just gets blown away and little gets on the windshield. My mother's Acura TL will almost spray onto the roof if it's stopped, but they still work on the highway.
It pisses me off when I'm following a car and they lay on the washer button for like a minute, forcing me to back off or get an alcohol bath that leaves spots all over my bike where it took the wax off.
And today when I just went for a quick ride to fill up the bike(even thou my shift segment broke and I couldn't use 4th or 5th), I had an opportunity to try the "rev engine next to prick on cell phone in expensive convertible". It was the most perfect scenario. Benz convertible, top down. Some uppity looking dude is yakking away on cell phone. I pull up next to him and proceed to rev the engine loudly. The Holeshot's have a pretty good roar for still being baffled. The first time he looked over at me and continued chatting. I did it again, and held it up at like 7-8k rpms for a few seconds. Then he did that pose like if you're on the phone in a loud room- plugged his other ear and crammed the phone against his head. Gotta love it. He looked kinda pissed but was probably afraid to flip off a biker...figured I would kick his door or something.
What I really want somebody to invent is a directional EMP generator. Like a little gun thing that interrupts electron flow at anything you point it at. They could rent them at movie theaters to deal with ass-hats that won't put their damn phones away for an whole 90 minutes. Instead I get *buzzzzzzzz*......big glow from the seat in front of me....2 seconds later a hushed cackle, but still loud enough everyone in the theater hears it. Repeat 30 seconds later for length of movie. Or even better when I see some douche trying to do some dangerous/illegal traffic move, and sticking their head out the window craning their neck around(with cell phone still firmly stuck to their head) to see if their car will fit in that gap between lanes so they can avoid waiting an extra 5 seconds at the light. It would be the biggest road safety invention since the seat belt- being able to disable cell phones.
