Anything I can get from Rock Auto I can get from my local CarQuest or O'Reilly. So in short, I think I have ordered from them maybe half a dozen times since they started years and years ago.


I don’t have either of those stores here.

Are you in the US? If so, you have similar box retail auto parts stores I'd imagine within a 50 miles drive.

That is waaaay west of her. I'm waay west of her and yet that location is still too far for me to even consider going there as it's 80 miles west of where I'm at.

Long way to go. Short time to get there?

FWIW, I'm kinda surprised. ~40 miles for me, and we don't even have them in Canada.

I just ordered a couple more parts. Came in a day earlier than expected, and the quality looks great. PLUS, I got my magnet this time

Not to be argumentative, but Pitt is at least 5 hrs from you. I believe your about 45 min to 1 hr NE of me, and it takes me about 5 to get to Pitt. I travelled back and forth for a couple months for work a year or so ago.

Numberpad on the keyboard shows 2 and 5 are neighbors. Hmm.
I suspect she was typing while wearing oven mitts.

Wise guy, I’ll show you what I do with oven mitts.

You are correct 5 hours on a good day, when we bought our 75 TA we drove to Pitt in a snow storm, and it took 6 1/2 hours to get to the guys house. Actually he was a member here. The TA came home on a car carrier. This was in January, maybe 7 years ago.
