If I'm going to a parts store, it's usually O'Reilly's

But I want OE parts when I can get them--my car's pretty old and a lot of the OE parts are no longer available--and none of the big parts chains sells OE, including O'Reilly's.
Which means ordering the stuff from RockAuto.
Walmart seriously undercuts Advanced on stuff like oil. A 5-quart bottle of Mobil 1 is ten dollars less at Walmart than at Advanced. Car car products like waxes and car wash, same thing.
In fact, I only go to Advanced to drop off used motor oil. I don't actually buy anything there at all. I used to get all of my oil and filters there.
And there are just too damned many parts stores. There are two Advanced, two Autozones, and two O'Reilly's stores within a couple of mile of my house. They never needed that many stores.
New cars are so damned complex, too. The "check engine" light comes on, what the hell does the average owner do?



The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
