bought a new ice scraper/brush for it when i broke my old one this morning.
seriously, what the hell is that vacuum ball for? when i got my jeep years back, that thing was just dangling off the front end, so i ripped it off and threw it out. it hasn't affected anything since being removed.

Took mine out a bit last night, it's been raining cats and dogs here, found me a little mud, had a little fun, haha. No pics though, it was night, and most of the mud got washed off over the night cause it was raining the whole time...
