Prices are getting out of hand. Even at Autozone...

Yeah I mean the CQ was the typical "had it all or can get it" place that supplied the auto businesses as well as do it yourselfers. Had real parts guys/gals behind the counter. I ll admit though a seasoned parts guy can be a pita as in I ask for a certain size bolt he says "a 67 Chevy requires this bolt" I say "just give me what i asked for..."but, I digress. Anyway this place had all the name brands the y even ha da body section where you could buy everything and do a single stage paint job. I mean yes its a cheap paint job but its nice to be able to go there and buy the stuff to do a basic backyard repaint I miss that. I had a recent experience at Advance where I said "do you have Plastiguage?" the guy was like "No" I pulled it up on my phone and said "says here you do..." he walked in the back came back said "sorry" fact is he didnt know what or where it was if the y did have it. A parts guy would know and get it quick.
