Parts! Bend over AND smile! short rant!

The O Reilly family back in Springfield has enough money and their stockholders can go pound sand. Back in Mo. the small towns close by had two independent parts stores, I bought all I could from them unless I was ordering from like Rock. Why Because I got good parts wih a LIFETIME guarantee by that local OWNER and better prices than O Reilly down the street.

Her in our little Tx. town, about 2 years ago, a guy moved in an bought out the local parts store. He raised the prices bad and went broke in less than a year. I bought ONE part fro him and figured out quick he was a bandit!
There was a nice Car quest what I call Mom and pop parts store in teh town I work. I used ot go there alot why? Itw as old school they had anything and if they didnt they could get it, goodparts counter people also,they even had a body work section where you could buy everything to paint a car including single stage paint. Anyway Auto zone literally moved in right down the street and they closed down. I really dont know why AZ isnt cheaper and teh parts arent really any better. If anything people r epaying more for overseas sourced knock off parts, I dunno...I still think they dont want us keeping these old cars running but theyll keep selling us junk parts untill we catch on...:)
