Wassthat? > You remember the old days, when you would visit a shop in person, talk to grumpy old bugger, and feel good about, and real paer or metal money would change hands, and you knew you had the right part because he was grumpy old bugger because he had spent all his younger years memorising parts catalogues for everycar ever produced, instead or being out drinking and whoring with his other fellow young men (I won't say friends because he didn't have any due to his studies). nowadays though, you get some young pleb who wouldn't know a parts catalogue if it bit you in the ass, who clicks a mouse, and tells "you you want one of those" you ask if he can get the original manufacturers part number comparison to check, and he says "He can't because the computer doesn't carry it" but inreality he is monumentally hung over from too many nights drinking and whoring, safe in the knowledge that he will never become a real grumpy old parts man, and also safe in the knowledge that what he has ordered for you might fit, but if it doesn't then they always have the 20% restock fee for special order parts. -- The poster formerly known as Skodapilot. http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
