Just had this conversation this afternoon...

I dont remember him, mustve been before me. The mopar guy I knew from there had already left and I believe was in the marines (roger)...Grant was the manager for most of the time I was there.

Bob didn't work there but should have, he was there enough. I remember Grant.


Thanks again for you help man.
Really appreciate it.

You remember a guy (about 5:9 balding) named Bob G. ? Had a yellow hipo Duster, white Belvedere w an Aruza Hemi... He was in there almost daily. I was his "step 'n fetch it".

Seems a lot of those folks are pimping foreign cars in the parking lots these days. At least in Plano.

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.

You called an autoparts store for a 2009 gt500 break caliper?
He told you $70 and you thought it was correct?
You're calling him retarded?

My thoughts also!

[cobrajet69]

LMAO! I worked that store as Gateway and shortly as oreilly...

You should try to order a fuel pump for an 87 Buick Grand National at Vatozone. One in Irving tried to tell me that it had a mechanical pump just like the one on his Cutlass in the parking lot (this was back in 2000...the only engine option they showed was a carbed 301 V8 or carbed 231 V6....no turbo option). 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

agreed.

sent you a pm. not sure what the deal is, we had to put one on my boss' gt500 also

PM replied.

I look up my own parts online, print it - then go to the store, hand them the paper & say "I want this". I always get the right part.

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.

David, give me the car, you have other things to worry about.

[cobrajet69]

Call service manager at five star manager at five star and see if he can still cover it though.
