Default GM, I'm out if......

Ya can't make the inside of the front windshield easier to clean. Gave the C5 a quick wash and the inside of the windshield needed a cleaning, ya have to be a contortionist! Lol. Do better!

So GM add this to the list of "not buying if" you have seen littered all over the forum. Ya certainly dont want to lose all the waxers do ya?

Well...you might want to get prepared to be disappointed, Clarence.

If you are not buying based on the windshield angle I am sure GM will delay the reveal another six months to correct the problem.

Not buying if the rear tail lights are dual hockey sticks that look like Nike logo! I want a geometric figure that I can describe with a formula that has a pie in it lol /s

Do what I did, get a slim, long-legged girl friend & tell her that her allowance is in proportion to windshield clarity, and trailer hitch shine.

I can't say I have ever decided on whether or not to get a vehicle based on ease of window cleaning.

Clearly the forum has reached the bottom of the barrel for things to complain about the impending C8.

I suggest a Model T if ease of windshield cleaning is a prime consideration, and oh, don't go shopping for any supercars.

Cleaning the windshield makes consideration about number 863 on my list and I don't count beyond about 50, if that many.

YMMV

So much sarcasm! I love it! That being said, apparently the amount of emojis in my original post didnt get my sarcasm through to everyone.

I do like that stick though, gonna pick one up, thanks for the tip.

This, to me, is by far the funniest reason to not buy a car yet....

Apparently. I was thinking if I used enough emojis folks would get it, experiment failed at least in part. Lol
