I don't even think its the water that is dripping but rather ice that has formed on the AC condenser and plumbing that is coming off and landing on my windshield and melting instantly.

Pieces like the bottom section have been landing on my windshield mostly on the right hand side and either wet down for a few seconds or evaporate on contact immediately...bizarre!


Wish I had a smoke test at 60mph in a wind tunnel so I can see how the airflow is circulating around the vehicle.
Anyone know of any Boxster wind tunnel research?

Time to put my GoPro to use on the slomo setting.
