Wiper blade joke
I got old Standard brand Coils. Napa, Standard, Neihoff, Mopar, etc old Caps/Roturs,
Pick Ups/ reluctors
Still got little over a 80 Wix oil filters ( and over a hundred private labeled Wix /Car Quest) in short, med and long. They fit many Chevy, FORD and Mopar engines.
When Adavance Auto bought out Car Quest they sold all the stock off.
I sadly am down to 20 cases combined of Shell Oil branded 10w-30, 10w40 and 20w50.
It was $0.59 a quart to sell it off so a,remodel could be done.
And the Transmission was under a dollar lime $0.89 only got 75-80 quarts left.
The NAPA Standard stuff was less than half marked. But to tell the truth worth twice what new China, Mexico stud cost to me.
I would pay a premium for good old vs new junk, so I know I don't have a problem later.
The old Bendix and Raybestos rotors, drums, pads, shoes, calipers, wheel cylinders just sit there and are not eatting food! But do say USA on the boxes may never get used by me, as well as other things.
But bet my wife can sell the stuff off I never needed when I die easy enough.
I hate new parts quality when I need to get them. At least some new stuff is still good for now
My wife likes that she has a, small amount of air filters, stack of cabin air filters, oil, and other fuilds she can just grab right there for her daily driver Honda and do it herself.
Everyone else she knows has to run and get anything as they have NOTHING.
But that's how many live today.
Yepper and I have guys who show up wanting my good old parts as store is out. But want to replace with new Mexico and China crap.
