Last year Preston stopped by my house, and he walks by my wife's car and touches a wiper blade that was half hanging off the metal.. The look of disgust on his face was priceless. Then he walked by my truck and did the same thing and the look of sheer disappointment.. LOL
It doesn't rain much out here. That said I have new wipers because of Preston's judgmental looks.
I always keep a stash from rockauto. If you go to the bargain feed for your vehicle you can score em for pennies...
go to your make, year, model, and get to engine size. you'll see a yellow "RSS" button. click that. On the next page on the right hand side "Love a Bargain?" click the blue "HTML" button. You can usually get brake pads, belts, wiper blades, etc cheap.
