One of my friends used to work at Advanced Auto Parts.

It's always nice to see actual parts guys working at the parts store, not some kid with a Neon and a fart tip. Rotarydragon and I had a 25 minute conversation with a guy at Napa who used to own an '85 -SE.

Napa is where you will usually find someone without their heads up their ass. You go into the local schucks here and you'll spend half the day trying to explain to the guy that the ******* parts computer may say that is the right part, but a lifter will not work as a spark plug.

******* Pep Boys is no better, guy was trying to tell me that a AMC 360 was the same engine as a Chrylser 360, that AMC didnt make thier own engines, I was speechless, then proceeded to put him in place and really make him look stupid with about 4 people waiting for thier parts as well, IM guessing they werent too confident about the parts they were given, lol. Another time I asked for a 2 1/2 inch collector gasket, guy asked me what kind of car, engine, ac or not, ps or not, after looking thru his computer for a good 5 minutes, he says he doesnt show it for the truck, im like " A 2 and 1/2 inch collector gasket, you dont know what that is???? He was dumbfounded.. Moral of the story- know your part number before you go to these big stores, if you dont- go to the small guy who at least has knowledge.

If you buy brake pads for an 2nd gen NA they will ALWAYS give you pads for single piston front calipers; but alot of NA's have 4 piston front calipers.

Let me find out my discount then I will just pass it directly to you guys....



lol not sure how long I will stay there as I recently found out I have friends inside of CompUsa so I may actually go there. But I am already hired at Autozone and start monday. But I got an interview for Compusa Tuesday. Its my friends sister who is the hiring manager so I have a good chance.



But let me find out my Discount then if I can find the parts I will pass the deal onto you guys!
