An uncle of mine once had a car whose wipers were powered from the engine's manifold vacuum -- they worked just fine when the car was idling, and would race across the screen when engine-braking downhill, but when powering up the other side in low gear they would just stop. Going uphill in a heavy downpour the driver actually had to lean out the window to see.
