Today has been raining constantly. Very boring. I drove to Rose's, all the while trying to minimize wiper use. We just changed it, and the mechanic told us that the new wiper came with a life of about a million wipes? I thought a million was a huge number, but let's see. Some math here:
With the normal setting, one sec would be one wipe. 1,000,000 wipes= same secs.= that's just about 278 hours. That's just 11.68 days! If I drove in rain for that long, I'll have to replace my wipers? When my mechanic said it, he made it sound like I'll never have to replace this forever! And if it's heavier rain, then the fast setting would be even more than a wipe a second. And I don't even know if a wipe consists of a to and fro motion or just a to or a fro.
Anyways, tried to use it on INT for as long as I could, but soon had a near hit with a garbage truck (with Rose in the car, mind you). She gave out a long aaaaaah and clutched her purse, closed her eyes, and held her emergency locket (the thing she would press for emergency to arrive) with her other hand! With these responses even meditating might seem violent! So I had to give up the wiper use frugality.
