[Shotimes] OT- Questionable Auto Zone experience.

I did a lookup on Auto Zone web site for 1995 Lincoln Continental PFC and
they list 5984. That does not necessarily mean your local store will have
them. If you look up 1996 SHO they list the 6014 and 6012. Are you guys
asking for 96 SHO pads or 95 Lincoln Continental pads? For the record the
upgrade commonly referred to as a 96 upgrade is really an upgrade to  1995
Lincoln Continental brakes.
