I've tried the Bosch wipers and they were ok for a while, but didn't seem to last. I'm now running a Michelin wiper of a similar design and they work better than the Bosch Icons did and are lasting longer as well. Consumer Reports recently did a test of wipers and also found the Rain-X style of that wiper to outperform the Bosch. I'm going to try those next.

Wasn't it you and Joe that got into a virtual posting fest near the beginning of this thread. You two had nearly two pages that was almost completely full of you two going back and forth.

Hey Sheldon..BoobIES. The only thing better than a boob, is more than one boob.
I am at the top of that list because I am bored with my job and I have no life other than to just sit and wait for things to happen..and my boob is all the way out in Iowa so I don't have him to keep me company either..

Same thing here. I got there right before the lunch rush. As I was leaving, there was a line forming and people waiting for places to park. I made it just in time.

Wiper blades and batteries don't last long down here.

Oh I could have fun with this quote, but I will be a good girl for once.
That's right, I forgot about the "shots in the *** by the big man" topic.....

Here is the full report up to this point.
I stripped all the hyperlinks out with Notepad before posting it so FTE's server wouldn't go crazy.

. I am not nearly as good at multi tasking as Lisa so it is a bad thing that I have lots of posts in here. It is a fun place though!
People are asking me if they can split up the payment for repair into two payments and I have to politely tell them that, that sort of thing is what Visa and Mastercard are for.
I don't have the time or the resources to chase a bad debt
, I leave that up to the banks. They are set up for that sort of thing. I just fix the cars and want to get paid for it.
