    It used to be fun working in them. In '99, on any given day if we were all working, the parking lot had a 68 RSSS Camaro, a 68 Cougar, a '67 Fastback, my '69 Charger, and a '95 Cobra. People would ask if we were having a car show, ignoring the fact that pretty much all of them but the Cobra had primer somewhere. Good times.

    He told you $70 and you thought it was correct?
    You're calling him retarded?
    My thoughts also!

Guy looked at me funny when I said TURBO V6.
    This wouldn't happen to be the one off rochelle and story would it?

    LOLZ!

    It very well might be the same part David. I'd have your local store order the part for the GT and then take yours up there and compare them. Or just buy it, pay the core, take it home and look without taking the car apart. Return it if it wont work. Should be no problem when you're balling out of control in a GT500.
    LMAO

    This is EXACTLY what I do.


    Recently I walked into my local Vatozone and asked for a specific length serpentine belt. The immediate question I got was "what vehicle?". Uh.... it's for my bicycle.... what the fuck does it matter what vehicle, I told you the length? It's in the part number for christ sake! Half of the time I'm in there for parts that don't apply to a specific vehicle, so the geniuses are useless.

    I wish my local parts store was self serving, no assistance needed. That would be spectacular. I miss the old P&R Auto in downtown Richardson, they even had a machine shop. Ah the good ole days.
