Aftermarket part rant

Im luck to be 5 miles from an autozone regional distribution store/center (24 hr open at that!) so If my store doesnt stock it , I usually have it by 2PM the same day if I get the order in before 10:30AM. Im usually not in that much of a hurry as I usually order the parts friday for a saturday job. Cant miss on lifetime brake pads, I had a Chryco Minivan for a while and went through 3 'lifetime' pad sets up front. Mid year model change had larger front brake rotors and pads...tell you something?


back when me and the wife were putting 500 miles a week on each vehicle i would buy the lifetime pads and swap em out late october
the asked me once why i returned a still good set
i told the girl, i dont want to have to do this in half a foot of snow
