Re: IML: blinker fluid - CAUTION

["Hugh & Therese" <hugtrees@xxxxxxxx>]

Oh for heaven's sake!  You guys are letting your snobbery make your lives 
extremely difficult.  Everybody knows the blinker fluid available from 
Wal-Mart is just fine.  Just because it only costs 59 cents for three quarts 
is no reason to impugn its efficacy.  In passing another chain was briefly 
giving it away for free as part of their tire air quality check service.  As 
most cognizant automobile aficionados are aware, it really is important to 
winterize the air in your tires for optimal performance.
