Okay guys not to rain on your parade but, have you actually gone to a parts store lately? They a fuckin joke!! Really, EVERYTIME I go to an Autozone, Kragen, Pep Boys, Shucks, etc... they either have complete morons working there or they don't have the part (or tool)!!

For example, I went in recently to try to pick up a couple of exhaust hangers, you know universal part no biggie, they should have SOMETHING right? ahh no...first the guy behind the counter is totally lost when I said "exhaust hanger" or when I elaborated and said "you know the little rubber thingy that holds the exhaust to the car?" The guy just looked at me with total "STUPID" on his face.It was a Pep Boys BTW...and I've had similar experiences in Autozone mostly.

So now I just go there for oil, car wash soap, shammies(chamois), and maybe the occasional bolt or washer.

I mean unless you guys live in a different California then I do then I'm sure these stores will just waste your time....seriously try a muffler shop. At least you'll talk to someone that knows what an exhaust hanger is...hopefully.
