Parts Store Rant, the other side of the story

I am a parts guy, but alas I'm a performance parts guy, Commonly what I will do is grab a part number head down to napa and give it to the guy. makes it easy. These days I avoid places that have the kids, Canadian Tire, Part Source, etc. I deal with Napa, and on the odd time Part Source if I can get the older guy who knows what he's talking about.
