Car waterfalls

Car waterfalls would consist of a fountain pump wired into the engine area with hoses running up an automobiles window frame and out of the roof. When the waterfall’s on switch is placed in the on position, water would then cascade down the windows and into collecting tanks inside the doors, trunk and hood.

The waterfalls would be great for soothing road rage in more intense traffic jams, would clean windows more thoroughly than windshield wipers, and would give the interior of you car a degree of privacy. More intricate canal systems could be devised allow you to have the waterfalls going only on windows you don’t need such as the rear passenger windows.

       Color the water for a bit of tint, keep them guessing!   

       But, it'll get dirty pretty fast, and, plus, when driving, the water will tend to blow off the surface. The pumps would go dry pretty fast.   

       Ahh, hell, just fill the tank back up. +

       I really dig it. I'm surprised it hasn't been done before. [+++]

       Imagine the extreme coolness of a virtually spiralling car waterfall. Water, cascading in rivulets down a constantly undulating surface ... or else it might look like a sheep dog shaking the water off ... either way, it'd be interesting to look at.

       Soterios, I'll bring the virtually spiralling car waterfall, You bring the mushrooms... and a good Floyd CD.

       Maybe virtually spiralling roads that push cars along in harmonious undulations (we're tearing that word apart!), just throw the bugger in neutral once you hit the road, and sit back, throw in Animals, roll one up, and look at the undulating cars undulate by. Undulate Undulate yeeeha!!!

       Po talking to herelf again I see but I see two ideas for water being shot up in the air from a car which reminds me of one of my two wonderful ideas.

       Party in [Romulox]'s car! This is such a cool idea.

       Ha! Great idea! But the name of this post made me think of actual car waterfalls. Like, cars continuously being manufactured and dumped over a cliff in a cascading 'car waterfall'!

       I love it! you could also have it between two layers of glass. it would look the same but not dry up.   

       "well bambi it looks like it's raining pretty hard out there, guess we are stuck in this car together untill it stops."
