Saw an article in USA Today in which the author says that over a dozen cities have banned digital billboards.
Detractors site how much the billboards attract drivers’ attention. Industry representatives claim they have studies that show that accidents did not go up when electronic billboards are installed.
My personal opinion is that digital billboards are distracting to drivers… otherwise why pay the substantially higher costs to install them? Billboards are an attempt to get the attention of people in cars. That includes the person behind the wheel, right? If it costs an extra quarter of a million dollars to install a digital billboard, does that not indicate that the billboard industry believes they are better at grabbing your attention?
Attention that should be focused on the road?
In New England, where TeleGlass National’s headquarters is located, both Vermont and Maine have banned digital billboards. I, for one, hope more states follow suit.

So you bought an XM or Sirius radio. You love your purchase, but can’t stand the wire that extends from the radio to the roof antenna? And the magnetic antenna leaves horrible marks on the roof of your car. You’ve had enough. Thus, enter the world of the windshield mounted radio antenna.
The antenna works by suction mount. The suction is so heavy-duty that in most cases, it can withstand almost twenty pounds, thus holding iPODs, GPS and PDA devices. The antenna suctions to windshields with a simple mounting plate of magnetic strips and will not fall from the auto glass once mounted properly. Additionally, the mounting plate can be angled up or down. The antenna will not scratch your automobile or cause you any type of windshield repair. In the future, if you have an auto glass repair or replacement glass, you can simple take down the antenna before the work has to be done. After the glass repair is finished, you can easily put the antenna back on in one quick step.
The benefits seem to outweigh the negatives. The antenna is stored on the inside of your automobile glass, so theft is virtually nonexistent compared to a standard roof antenna. Lastly, the antenna is small, taking up very little space and not obstructing the driver’s view at all.

First of all, why do you want to remove a windshield wiper arm? For most people, this is not a task that will be required at any point. If your wiper arm is broken, and needs to be replaced, you’ll need to remove the old one first. In this image, you see a wiper arm that has been broken off completely.
The owner of this vehicle removed the nut holding the wiper arm to the windshield wiper motor, then pried straight up to remove what was left of the wiper arm assembly. You can see the plier marks on the what is left of the wiper arm. He also used WD40 and PBlaster to try to loosen up the assembly, but it was all to no avail.
Conventional wisdom is to fold the wiper arm upwards, and then while applying downward pressure (grab the lifted wiper and press downward) strike the portion of the wiper arm that is attached to the bolt with your other hand or a rubber mallet. This usually frees up the wiper arm.
In this case, that technique could not be applied, and the owner wanted to adjust the other wiper arm, too. It wasn’t coming off either. What to do? A battery terminal lifter was used, and it very easily lifted the arm assembly off the bolt. It didn’t create any damage to the arm that wasn’t broken, and it popped the broken arm off neatly.

Seriously… while this is kind of cool, it falls into the “these people have waaaaaay too much time on their hands” category.
