[Shotimes] OT- Questionable Auto Zone experience.

[Paul L Fisher]

Performance Friction still has their catalog wrong. The one that we just
printed at the beginning of the year still shows the 601 for the '96-'99
SHO. Just ask for a '02 SLO pad and it has the correct one. Autozone doesn't
show as carrying it though.
