Poor quality parts ruining the hobby for me

I agree with the OP, but unfortunately "such is life." Ebay, good used, NOS. I've given NAPA all the **** I can think of and "they don't care." Back in the day when NAPA was sponsoring Waltrip, I told them, "I bet you won't find this **** on Waltrip's race car." The guy was too stupid to "get" it.
