Hmmm...maybe I'll return the amazon purchased ones then and revisit pricing in a year when I need new ones.

Wipers are fine to be stored. They age when exposed to elements. I'm guessing you change your wipers twice a year in FL. Keep 'em.

polobunny

Twice a year? Sun kills them that quickly? I'd imagine you USE your wipers twice a year in FL...

In the great northern country that is Canada, I change my wipers like once a year. Usually it's ice that rips the blades.

you forget the gulf produces lots of rain.

Houston is VERY similar to Florida.
all of a sudden rain clouds will develop and a full on storm in less than a blink of an eye.

matter of fact; its super gloomy in Houston today. and tomorrow will be sunny!

Majofo

Not all wipers are equal.. that being said, it's not so much the heat but the changing temp that breaks down wipers.

Use twice a year.. are you fucking kidding.. they get over 50 inches of rain a year (+1300 mm for you canucks).

It rains pretty much daily during the summer in southern Flerda.

When I visited Rockstar last year, every one asked..."hows the humidity, hows the weather?"

it feels like home/houston.

Majofo

I'd respond by teabagging them.

polobunny

Not forget, all my life pictures of FL projected an always sunny place with 2 tropical storms. My dreams of moving there when I get to 65 are crushed.



Well crap man, that's even more than here, accounting for the snow. 100mm difference, or 4 inches for you 'muricans.

Majofo

Moist......

Majofo

Meanwhile.. in Houston.

Winter time...(November through March)
highs of 82 and lows of 80 deg F.

Summer time...
highs of 90 and lows of 100 with humidity dancing between 40% and wet as fk.

Most summer days are clear and beautiful until 1pm...then occasional rain until 4pm...then nice again until the next day. It's Sunny just about every day in Florida even if there is a little rain that day.

Also...I haven't replaced my blades in 1.5 years because I was driving the S2000 so much. Once they get streaky, I change them.

Tires and wipers are two things I don't fk around with because visibility and control are of the utmost importance.

Kept waiting for Justin to crash Thanksgiving...figured he forgot how to get to my aunt's house!

Yes, Walmart does sell those brands, but they sell the lowest end models that they make. For Samsung, they don't even carry middle of the line stuff.

Majofo

polobunny

Yeah that's one thing I hate. Forget to lift your wipers or unstick them from the ice in winter here and start them and you're fucked. rips your wiper blades instantly and you just die a bit inside for that stupid mistake. Then it's steak galore and for like 5 months you just keep using them to get your money worth.

Can't say. They had all the cool smart TVs that I don't need. Didn't end up buying anything anyway.

TacoBello

That's what Arizona is for! But shit, hot, sunny weather every single day would get old. Rain is a nice change.

And I'm still planning on moving to Florida when I turn 65... I can't wait until I leave flaming poop filled diapers on Rockstar's front step every morning

TacoBello

I seriously don't know what the hell you're talking about 3/4s of the time

I love diapers!

oof...well, I get a little longer life out of mine because I wipe them down with silicone spray periodically to get the grime off and keep em from drying out.

TacoBello

to fix your leak, follow these 4 simple steps:

1. light your car on fire.
2. claim insurance.
3. ??????
4. profit.

Now, im thinking its oil filter plate seal?

i just cant see it leaking. i'll pour oil in, and a few days oil is everywhere.

then i thought it was power steering fluid, as the steering rack is wet.
but oil on my dipstick registers LOW.
and power steering fluid is full.


after i took the crank pulley off, and wiped up the oil. it doesnt seem to be leaking from there. and I dont wanna pull off the timing belt, unless I really really have to

Went through AZ after NV while road tripping... Freaking AZ with all the red dust. I got pics of a ~6000km on the counter Mazda 6 completely covered in that crap to the point you can barely see it's a black car.

NV (as well as CA) burned my white boy skin like never, and that's just driving with my arm out of the window. Passed through Vegas at like 1 o' clock, grabbed some In n Out and it was like 44C/112F in May, even the freaking gulls were sweating. Rented a room in Mesquite, came back to gamble in casinos at like 11 it was still 43C. The fuuuuuuck how can people live there? At "least" it's dry.

Then I go and check out Grand Canyon and there's snow on the side of the road in the forest?? I'm confused.

Also as a pro tip, never type in "Grand Canyon" in Google Maps and expect to get to see the Grand Canyon as you leave from Mesquite in May. You'll end up off-roading with 4 wheelers (getting asked if this was a rental and witnessing their incredulous face when you tell them it's not), scratching your side skirts and rock chipping your bumper on your brand new car all the while driving for 12 hours trying to get out of the Grand Canyon park because for some reason you were able to get in even though it's not the season yet. Good times.

Justin, this might sound silly, but I had this issue too...and I can't recall what fluid was coming out of it but there's this hose down near passenger front wheel...somewhere near the filter. And there's a clamp on it with a phillips head screw that tightens it...over time, that rubber hose must have shrunk and the clamp needed to be tightened down a bit. I mean, it was more weeping than leaking...

Worth looking?

polobunny

Yours sound like the PS. The line is right behind the passenger side front wheel and passes right under the filter.
Mine's weeping too right now, can't be arsed changing the 3/8" tube cause I'd need to drop the subframe since that thing is mangled in everything and has 218 bends and there's already a collar on it that's tight enough. Goes from PS cooler in the front to tube (you prob had that one leaking) to metal pipe again to tube (mine weeps there) to up near the motor.

Well, I had a feeling it wasn't oil leaking from a hose...but figured I'd mention to look!

Majofo

The only oil leaking from a hose is in your pants.. and you know only WD would fall for inspecting that leak.
