This morning I had to fix my windshield whiper. Well, the only thing in the whole car that comes from a car is the only thing that does not work! What should I say?

As my battey wasnt fully charged this morning, I have just stopped at a Truck stop in the middle of nowhere, with a great restaurant, and I ordered a plate with salad and meat and Frnech Fries while my battery is being charged.
