So, right after my driver's windshield wiper flew off the car at 73 mph on I95 mid CT

I was relly lucky to find an auto parts store on the gps just a mile away. After the nice guy put it on for me, the rain really picked up and I still had 30 miles to go. I was relly lucky it stayed 40 degrees, too.

I guess all the snow/ice scraping knocked it loose. You can't see what you're doing underneath 4 inches of snow....

Relly lucky. I love my GPS!

1. Wow! "Really lucky" is right!

Glad you got it fixed!

2. It's like a movie, the special noise it makes flying up over the roof at 73 mph!!

I'll never know for sure if it hit anyone but I didn't hear anything after it left me, and no one slowed down, so...I was in the left lane so I figure it's by the median right now.

3. You benefited from geography

I-95 follows the Connecticut coastline, which has many small town along Route 1 (Boston Post Rd which parallels I-95), so you're often near a store like that. Glad you got new wipers.

4. one of my two fears

the other is the hood coming loose and blowing up to cover the windshield a 75 MPH.
