One of the German parts places I use was having some kind of sale and I was going into the big city the next day so I used this opportunity and ordered the OFHG, some coolant and I forget what else for pickup at a location close to my buddy's place. This way I can pick up the stuff the next day and the shipping cost will cover most of my gas back...sweet!! (wait for it...)

The next day I get an email blah blah order delayed was the gist of it so my plan went to shit. Not only do I not have my stuff early but now I have to pick it up next time I'm in the city. Booooo!!!

Not to worry. Since I admitted defeat and I'll be waiting at least a week (or so I thought) before I'm back in the city I might as well order them from Rockauto together with some other stuff. So I bought 3 sets

sidenote:

The original order arrived days later and my buddy picked it up for me. It was 3 months before I finally picked it up from him and this is what I got...

It's been a long day for me and it's time for bed but more to come
