Okay, I know this is trivial, but I bought some new wiper blades yesterday and they are so frickin' cool! They were kinda expensive... $20 each (the basic ones are like $6), but these Bosch blades are designed to appear like a single flexible unit. They don't have any brackets. It's like a wand of rubber. Link
They perfectly conform to the windshield, and they even have this little cap that encapsulates the attachment arm.
They are just too cool. And they work great too.
This isn't an ad, it's just a really cool, really well designed thing I came across.
Wiper blades have made my day.
