    I'm happy to report that the new wipers work very well. (I didn't do the rear yet, but I rarely use it, so it's not urgent.) What worked even better was the glass treatment - little drops bead up and slide right off like magic. I'll be doing that 'mod' far more often. What I'm not so happy to report is that the car's all dirty again. Waaahhh.

    After a few hundred miles at highway speeds, it's even clearer that some chassis additions are necessary. The car didn't feel very stable above about 130 kmh - although, it was pretty windy, and the pavement was rough. I had to slow down for a couple of sections being repaved, and the new parts were very smooth.
