    To save costs you can now purchase reclaimed BMW blinker fluid at a fraction of the cost but with full OEM quality as it has never been used.

    Is this your first wife or the on with 7 kids above that apparently has two husbands? Either way she’s clearly a lucky lady.

    I also like Mobile 1 synthetic blinker fluid. I heard scan gauge has a new feature, it’s a blinker counter, might be worth looking into. With synthetic blinker fluid you can go up to 25,000 blinks before a change is required.

    Must be hard for those Jeep owners who drive down the highway with a blinker on for hundreds of miles at a time.

    Faak, this must be why my air indicator light stays on permanently. I went and got the K and N tire air filter for better handling and Hp.

    All stock, baby!
    Nah, that one’s expired. They’ll make you pay full price for your jug of blinker fluid.

    This is why old guys in 1978 Buick's (and even older Caddy's) have their left blinker on from Rhode Island to Florida on the spring "snow bird" migrations to Florida. The real function of "Blinker Fluid" is to produce/create that "click-click" sound from the dash: when it gets low or runs out: no sound... and we (I mean "they") don't give a damn about it. ("free" is never "FREE"). The killer is, when they finally get stopped by 'ole "Buford C. Justice", they always have a "back-up" bottle in the trunk. (Why add it until you have to when to you don't give a crap/rat's/name-it?) It could take ten years.) Since the law always loves it when you open the trunk voluntarily and there's nothing but jumper cables and kitty litter in it, they always let you go. Experience and scars.
