hi,

That should be for your rear window defogger. Check your back window to see if there are lines running up and down in the window.

Thanks,

Radar jamming cloaking type device. If you can still see your car, it must be broken.

I do, gets pretty cold down here on the Space Coast. Those of you up north would really get a laugh out of how the Orlando news media panics when the temp could possibly get into the 40's at night. You would think that we are being absorbed by Antarctica.

You aren't afraid of skidding all over the place? I've been scared into never even think of driving in light rain by some other muscle car owners.
