the amount of gas I'd have to burn to get there would nullify any savings... I'd also have to pray for a miracle that some middle east lady there would also severely under charge me for the food

I don't know how they did it, but this guy had like 15 car batteries and managed to make it power the vehicle...

Damn... so they are going for $16 normally now?
When I bought my Costco Michelin wipers 2 years ago, I think I was only paying $9.99 for each blade...

I don't think I can stomach using them anymore - they are way shittier than the previous model. I picked up a couple Bosch ones to put on my car instead.

Oh, I picked up some engine oil ahead of schedule. I figure the next batch is going to be a huge spike in price... you guys might want to do the same for your daily drivers.
