I'm fine with no side mirrors but no windshield wipers? It's not just rain, there's mud, bird droppings, squashed bugs, etc. Something has to get rid of all that.
Having a fully "fuelled" vehicle every morning and no trips to the gas station.
Being able to transport all my golf group and their clubs in one vehicle.
