[Shotimes] OT- Questionable Auto Zone experience.

[Bruce Malachuk]

Autozone dosen't carry the 598 size of the PF CM pads, but I found you can
get them from www.nationalfleetparts.com for $41 and change plus shipping.
They had them to me in 1 day casue of my location in regards to where they
are. If you live on the west coast you may want to call PF and find out if
they have a distributor out there that stocks them.
