I love to talk about superchargers, Aston Martins and 0-60 times, but every cool aspect of a car is rendered moot if you can’t see out of the windshield.
When it comes to car parts, windshield wipers are like toothbrushes; they have an extremely important job and aren’t replaced as often as they should be. After all, they’re just thin strips of rubber holding back debris and the elements for months, even years. If yours squeak or streak, it’s time.
Luckily, wipers are cheap (~$30 for a pair) and easy to fit. I’m a fan of Rain-X Latitudes.
