Currently our shopping cart already shows you stock status. Our problem is that the new shopping cart is very difficult to integrate with our accounting system that shows you the stock availability. So while our shopping cart is fairly basic, we really don't see the urgent need to have it be 'prettier'. Especially when it may cause us to not show the stock status. Also, the current system allows you to look at your complete purchase history and check ship dates and backorder status's. We always felt it was a worthy trade-off. No offense to our competitors but I can't stand browsing Year One's and Ames shopping carts. They are slow and you never find what you want. They have way less pictures and diagrams and the technical information supplied is not very good.

I think sometimes you guys look at sites like Summit racing and other giants. A small Pontiac company is just not going to be able to compete with a web site like that. I alos think sometimes you get use to working with one system and then are uncomfortable when you have to learn something new.
