Dodge Spirit R/T
Dodge Spirit R/T
Sold this beast around five years ago. Although it was fun to drive while we had it, it just wasn’t a practical family car. Sure was fast though! Real fast. The only reason I bring up the old R/T is that we happen to see it up in the city, coming home from Barb’s 3-Day walk. First rain of the season and it was raining like a mother. Went to turn on the wipers and one of our windshield wipers was broken. Just hanging and scraping against the windshield. Not good. The hard rain coupled with the splash from other cars AND huge drops coming from the trees in the park made visibility less than perfect. I had to drive without the wipers until I could get under some shelter or find an auto parts store. I was taking side streets to avoid to much splash onto the windshield. We are up by Lincoln and 19th Avenue near the park when Kelly says, “LOOK DAD ! YOUR CAR!” Sure enough. It was.
The car looked great! Still had the exact same factory paint Job and everything. What a trip. I knew the guy that I sold it to lived in the city. He took BART down when he bought the car. Its just strange to see it after 5 years and just by coincidence , considering we just happen to turn down that particular street because of all the rain.
Just so you know, we made it all the way down 19th Ave and into Daly City without wipers. It got TOO dangerous when we started to get onto the freeway. I knew I had to do something. Stopped at a Gas Station in Daly City. They didn’t have any replacement wipers. Rather than try to find a auto parts store on a Sunday evening, I just used some of Barb’s MoleSkin to secure the blade to the wiper. I felt like McGyver out there in the pouring rain using MoleSkin to get us home safely. Wipers worked like a charm the rest of the way home! I’m a genius!
