minus-squareRememberTheApollo_@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·7 hours agoEveryone’s talking tech, but I’ll add car parts. Everything from aftermarket parts to basic things like filters or even windhsield wipers. $25/blade. If you have a 3-blade car, that’s $75. Had to replace a battery. They used to be $100-125 for a good one. Nope. $200 for a mid grade replacement. It wasn’t cheap, but they were affordable. Not so much anymore.
