Only if you're feeling vulnerable I enjoy a good conversation based on mutual respect and honesty, and that includes not making assumptions about the person I am talking to. To imply that my information was concocted and badly researched merely highlights a lack of respect and honesty. In real life this conversation could have been quite interesting as you appear to have some experience. It was the frankly rude tone of your responses that cause me to write this -- my last comment on the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_smith237 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Leaving a vehicles lights off as late as possible until its virtually pitch black before they're tuned on... Ensuring the wheels are perfectly straight when parked... even to the point a security guard will tell you to straighten them... Reverse parking everywhere (except parallel)... to the point they can't access the boot to get the shopping on... Lifting up the Windscreen wipers... Much of the above is done without any thought or consciousness at all... Society simply reflects itself and people do these things because they see others do it... Thinking more about it or why would lead to a reaction from a Thai of 'don't think too much'... These practices may have started from reasonable reasons which no longer exist... but have already been answered... i.e. Windscreen wipers - Poorer quality rubber left a mark on the Windscreen once it got hot. And in dusty areas the fine silica build up on the wipers could scratch the Windscreen... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAS21 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Well I have to admit that I lift my wiper blades most mornings _when I wash the front windscreen. I find that it's usually covered in dust and dead flies. I wouldn't dream of operating the wiper blades ... with washer or not ... on a dirty screen. And I'm one of the ..lift the bonnet (hood to some of you) after stopping whenever practical as I've measured the temperature around the battery and it's much cooler with the bonnet open. I wonder how many more posts there will be on this topic ..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpinx Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I had a turbo-timer in a Nissan people mover -- seemed to work. Lots better than having to sit for 3 minutes at idle before shut down, as we used to have to do in some old helicopters 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been snowing every Christmas Day for the past 30-odd years at the TQ on Beach. Drop by next year and get your 'wipers lifted' for free.... and other malarkey.
