I like to wait in line at the dealer.
That way, I can pay top dollar on my parts.
Usually they don't have what I need, so I get to make another 1.5 hour
round trip drive.
I tried to order the parts over the phone one time. NO DICE.
Gotta be front and center to order parts.

Ever since that fiasco, I now shop at FCP and Arizona Autohaus.
Amazon has parts also. I only shop when I can get free shipping.
