Re: Trip to the auto parts store just isn't the same

our local parts stores are getting so bad that I try to avoid going nights and weekends...nothing but a bunch of kids running the stores...

I needed a 1/4 '' brake line coupling...they tried to sell me a compression fitting for copper tube...argued with me that was a brake line coupling...arghhhh

needed a drum brake adj...I know enough that I took my old one with me...set it on counter and said I need one of these ...whats that they say with a stupefied look..arghhh

need a reman steering box for a 88 2wd.....3 trips I went back because they gave me the wrong one for a different yr model...all because they mispunched the numbers in theyre computer...arghhhhh.

it just goes on and on...
