Ok I found a broken stud on my exhaust manifold, so gotta get a new stud. I had ordered new head bolts from my local Nissan dealer, and figured I would just pick up a new stud when I picked up my head bolts. They do not stock them, I would have to order it. Ok so I figure I will get one on the way home @ Pep Boys. They used to carry single bolts and studs in bins, not any more. Now it is more important to carry toys, and scooters than stocking you know car parts. Long story short it took me 2 hours of running around to find a stud that would work.
Sorry for the mindless rant, but better than asking " What color should I paint my car?"

I think you should paint your car purple with some metallic. :rofl:

Yeah I've been there before. Trying to find something and the LAST place you go has it.

^^^ you would probably stock alteeza lights, LED exhaust tips and dildo glow in the dark shift knobs. I dont blame you, because thats what 80% of the import world wants. If you opend a real one. You would have upto three people a night between 12am and 4am, all pissed off because they want to finish their swap. Rumbling around your store in their dirty clothes, looking for that one part they need.

Yea if at all possable I do not work on cars on Sunday, because you will always need something and you will have a total retard working at the local Kragen or whatever local parts store. No real tuner shops will be open on Sunday, so you are stuck with the guy that has not been with Auto Zone long enough to have Sundy off.

having a 24hr autoshop that KNEW their shit would be awesome.

Oh, and no Autozone/Pepboys idiots roaming around. Part numbers would be mainly for stocking, everythin else would be by name. When you ask for headgaskets, they don't give you shims or washers.

I went to 4 shops to get a stupid exhaust gasket. Long story short, im not allowed anymore in those 4 shops for 'rude and harmful words' directed to the idiots of autozone and pepboys.
