Oreileys for the win
So my new years resolution this year was to get more cars in the yard running, driving and stopping. So I start with a car I have had laying around for a long time. A 75 dodge dart, 225/3 speed. Factory disk brakes but has been sitting since it was last plated in 2002.
I actually remember a time when they had parts for this car in stock. Ha, talk about feeling old.
So I check auto zone. They don't even list a master cylinder. I think auto zone has completely turned its back on older cars. Their selection of parts for the aforementioned vehicle is almost nonexistent.
Next I try advance auto. They list a master cylinder and let you put it in your virtual cart. Then when you go to checkout, it outlines it in red and says it's UNAVAILABLE!! Unavailable at any price.
Ten years ago auto zone was my first choice because they always had the cheapest prices.
Then after I got a grown up job, I preferred advance auto, always a bit more expensive but a Lotta bit more quality.
Now it seems like I'm going towards oreileys because they are advertised by many youtube channels (vice grip garage and sallys speed shop) (very good channels) featuring old (60 and 70s) cars.
It really seems like oreileys wants old car owners as customers.
We will see how goes this week and if the parts actually show up. Of course NOTHING is in stock locally so it all has to be shipped but there is a 20 percent off code now for mothers day and since my order is over 200 dollars, 20 percent made a huge difference.
