Sitting at home #1 and waiting on the call. 1 call so far a local run. Turned it down. Spent $1300+ on the sprinter in the last 5 days. Need to make some ntimevan money to recover that loss. Comon big money. Momma needs a new pair of shoes.

...you'll be fine ... if you need x-tra cash ... Ovm is paying cash for Snow removal and he has a scoop that doesn't fit his hands well ....

Possible treatment for my daughter's disease SMA-1, first ever...trying to get registered trumps going out for a silly delivery...should I dare hope?

2010 - head of pediatrics says "you're not trying to keep her alive because you think there'll be a cure are you?"

:p

(Maybe it's off topic but na na Nana na:D)

Empty in Greensboro North Carolina. Could of been less eventful of a trip.
92 miles from delivery my driver side wiper arm decides to break in half on the freeway WTH? Of course it's pouring rain

This is the 2nd one that has broke like this in the last 2-3 years. The first time was my fault, but this time, geez. I guess I'll add wiper arm to my spare part carry list.

So here I am on the side of the road, getting drenched trying to switch the wiper arms so I can at least see where I'm going. And the stupid arm will not come off errrr. Finally got it off and switched a couple of miles away at an autozone with the help of a hammer

Autozone didn't have an arm in stock, but Charlotte location did along my route so they held it at that location. Turned out to be shorter then what I had but functional for now. Now I need to dry out

Tell us more, where and under what conditions did it brake? Sounds like a nightmare!

Happened to my sprinter also at about 750k miles. I stopped under a bridge and swapped the passenger one to the driver side. Then bought an oem one from eBay pretty cheap.

Mine went at 200,000. It's lasted 3 months with hose clamps.

Fell 20 feet off a ladder putting up Christmas lights in the rain. Nothing broken but ouch

Have a great week everyone my right side needs to take a vacation it took the fall and that includes my typing hand

Just driving down the freeway in the rain around 45f little wind. Wipers on, then looking at my wiper through my driver window

It broke off just after the bendy knuckle thing (technical term) that attaches to the van. Just for you I dug through the Walmart trash to find the arm, I wasn't searching for the end piece that connects to the van ewwww

Not great pics, but here they are, I still can't believe how that thick end piece can do a clean break...

I know the pain of wipers on my gl m2 it took me a few pairs to realize that this truck used 2 different size wipers , the left Is a different size than the right apparently when I had the windshield replaced the shop swapped sizes and for a long time I wondered the was going on! Silly me I never compared them !
