oh, so you did buy that car eh? good!

don't buy that stuff online unless you live in the boonies, shipping charges are crap. Go down to your local speed shop, or parts source or whatever you have in your neck of the weeks.

er yea, I usually proofread, musta been in a hurry...

yea, well you have no excuse, i'm in canada, so there are many things that I can't get here easily, or cheaply, so I order online.... however you just have to look around, a lot of parts stores (if you talk to someone who actually knows something, not some idiot kid who gets $6.50/hr to stand there), then they can get you stuff you never thought possible... ie, special order catalogs that you didn't know existed...
And they pay the shipping since they put it on their normal truck, and the price is good... (like Canadian tire

Great site and mag that you need to subscribe to for both the endless supply of knowledge, vendors, parts and websites.

I find I can buy things from Mopac for about the same price or less than what I can buy the same part from a mail order place after you consider the exchange rate and shipping costs. The real specialty stuff that Mopac doesn't carry, you still need to buy from the states.

yea, just MOPAC's hours suck. Like 'cmon, they cater to people, hobbiests, not businesses, so shouldn't they have hours better then 9-5 M-F? I'd have to take a day off work to buy anything there...
EDIT: grammar
