- I've stopped using those "Chain" stores altogether. I have found a very nice little independant parts store nearby. When the owner of the store helps you out, you know he personally has something at

- I used to suffer like that with Canadian Tire, a cross-country chain up here. It isn't just the dreaded "universal" term. It goes for anything that is not specifically for a unique car. I'll never fo

- I figured since TR3's and VW beetles share about the same size tire I could get a cheap spare at "crappy tire". It turns out that Canada's largest "tire" store no longer stocks (or can obtain) tires
