mid 3rd gear... wipers raised off windshield and then into fourth.... then they slowly swept all the way across to other side of windshield...
then when slowed down... they swept back across... floating off windshield and then back on the windshield...
not sure how many MPH it ran but mathematically..... potential to go way too fast in a vega..
It is a MIRACLE that I got to grow up with my Dad alive.. he still is and still has that Vega too....
