I love buying stuff from China. The Chinese keep my VW Passat running. You can get an ignition coil set for less than $50 and a driver's window switch set with bezel for around $35. It ain't mil-spec electricals but I can't imagine it could be worse than a Bosch part. It's a great relief to be able to open and close the car windows at will!

I got a freon leak detector for less then $25. It worked great. I used it to find an AC leak. I could throw the detector away and I still saved a ton of dough by doing the work myself. The only way I can get this stuff cheaper is by stealing it. China is a magical place for sure!

As far as your ice cube tray problem goes, my suggestion is that you freeze water in cardboard milk cartons and then use an ice pick to finalize the cubes, or rather, shards. I suspect that you might have some problem with getting a not-made-in-China ice pick so you could probably use a hammer made by Stanley. One of these would be just spiffy!

ROTFLOL!

Any Camping World RV store has plenty of silicone ice cube molds to sell.

Cooty is off on another one of his rants, and man does that cat like to
rant!
