OK so we have had pretty bad inflation now for the last 2 1/2 years, but everytime I have to buy anything at the friggin "auto part store" now days, no matter whose name is on the door, IT is Rape! Crazy!
Yea I buy ALL I can at Rock or anywhere else but he local parts emporium!
Example: OK so its a Ford part, but does not matter what make. Example: 66 Ford starter relay. Rock is $8 plus some shipping.... the "other guy" is $30 local pickup. same part, same brand. ITS NUTS!!!!!!!!! :BangHead: :BangHead: :BangHead: :BangHead: :BangHead: :BangHead: :elmer:

The O Reilly family back in Springfield has enough money and their stockholders can go pound sand. Back in Mo. the small towns close by had two independent parts stores, I bought all I could from them unless I was ordering from like Rock. Why Because I got good parts wih a LIFETIME guarantee by that local OWNER and better prices than O Reilly down the street.

Her in our little Tx. town, about 2 years ago, a guy moved in an bought out the local parts store. He raised the prices bad and went broke in less than a year. I bought ONE part fro him and figured out quick he was a bandit!
