[s-cars] Best Wiper Blades -- off subject/Pep Boys add-ons...

As a motorcyclist, I use the flashing valve caps religiously. They are
hoop-die on a car (yuck!), but can be a lifesaver on a motorcycle (or
your kids' bicycles!). You can't see them from behind or in front of
me, but if you're headed towards me from the side (preferably in a
tasteful and ABS-equipped Audi), I hope they attract your attention
before your bumper contacts my bike and induces something like this:

Biker catapulted into rear wheels of truck, rider torn to pieces
