I don't go to Advance auto or Autozone unless I "have" to, or its a part that they can't possibly screw up..
I went to Advance once to get fuel hose for a FI system.... they didn't have any... WTH ?? no fuel hose ??? they weren't out... they didn't even carry it.. ITS A FREAKIN AUTO PART THAT EVERY DAMN CAR HAS !!!!!!!!
but they will carry all kinds of neon lights, and an entire aisle of import "ricer" crap (neon lights, spinning hubcaps, etc...)
