    Well it is nice to hear that some Napas are good. Mine sux...manned by dweebs who do not know anything and that are more expensive than everyone else in town...only bright spot is that they are open later than anyone else.
    Just my opinion though

    I went to autozone for a ****** filter today, took a look at their computer and it went back to 1930!! But I asked for the filter for a '70 Cutl*** with a 455 and though the guy found it, he couldn't tell me what kind of transmission it was. Told me they probably only had one kind. Oh well...I looked and made sure it was the right one, bought it and left. I feel better giving them money than O'Rileys at least. ****ing retards working there, no matter which one I go to.

    The parts store that I really hate is the local Schuck's. I won't even go in there any more unless it's just to grab an oil filter or something and there's no place else open.

    They always have the most annoying radio station in town blasting on the stereo. The kid at the parts counter is absolutely USELESS!! I stood there for twenty minutes once while he kept answering the phone and putting folks on hold while customers are standing there waiting. Of course the phone callers get impatient, hang up and call again, and he puts them on hold again, further interrupting what he ought to be doing. Hey, Genius, why not just take the phone off the hook until you've got a minute to answer it?

    Furthermore, he has no clue how to find a part without running through the computer program.

    "Can I help you?"

    "I hope so. I'm looking for a fuel pressure regulator that Holley sells."

    "What kinda car?"

    "You won't be able to look it up that way. It's used when you replace the mechanical fuel pump on an old engine with a modern electric fuel pump that puts out more fuel pressure than an old 94 carb can handle."

    "What kinda car?"

    "Well, I'm using it on the flathead in my Fifty Ford, but..."

    *he types in '50 Ford*

    "We don't have it."

    What a *****. Had no concept of universality or adaptation.

    **** that place.
