| For motorcycle helmets they make anti fog wipes for the visor. Maybe they have something you can put on the windows. |

| I drive mine everyday no matter what the weather. It's just more enjoyable when it's not raining with the windows fogging up. |

| I had the fogging problem too, but I put a household dehumidifier under the back seat and it really stops it. Hopefully I think it will also prevent rust from condensation. Very cheap as well. |

So the fogging is from the car leaking water into it? I had that same problem with another car. You can put dehumidification packets in to take out some of the moisture when it gets wet. They sell them in the household area. Sometimes you will find them next to the washing soap and/or mothballs. |

Defroster doesn't work?
Also you can use rain-x anti fog. Works pretty well.

I'm sure I'll drive the 74 1303 to the mountain on a ski day before the end of the season. That'll be fun. But today was not that day.

I drove to my daughter's place today and listened to Peter, Paul, and Mary's Greatest Hits on my new stereo system. I thought that since my hearing isn't what it used to be that taking off from stops in first gear would be a problem, but my ears can still differentiate between the music and the Rpms.
Gotta love the time-machine effect when you have the right tunes to accompany you.
