I will stick my nose out only one more time for the Parts Place.  Since I 
live within 20 minutes of them, and personally know a couple of the 
'knowledgeable' employees (i.e., my 'contacts'), dealing with them in person 
is not quite so bad.  It's not the Parts Place of old when I knew just about 
everyone that worked there and could swing a deal with any of them, but once 
these two guys leave (who knows, they've left and come back a couple of 
times) I won't deal with the PP anymore.  If I didn't live here, I wouldn't 
deal with them.  The owner, Jack, is a complete asshole.  Some of the other 
employees are pretty much idiots.  My theory is, since I'm a face behind the 
bucks, they're a bit nicer to me.  (I get to rummage through places the 
general public only dreams of rummaging through.)  I guess it's easier to be 
a dick to someone when you don't have to face them, have no idea what they 
look like and can hang up when you feel like it.  I do agree that their 
catalog prices are a 'bit' on the 'steep' side.  My advice; if you live 
within driving distance, it might behoove you to strike up a relationship 
with Glen or Kevin.  If you have to deal mail order with them, screw it.
