Spent the afternoon cursing over some minor repairs, which turned major when I kept dropping things into the engine block. That will teach me about drinking Rainer Beer and working on cars. Anyway, I needed a couple of parts and just ordered them from Rock Auto. I also realized I have a discount code for them that they encourage me to share with anyone and everyone....so....if you need a measly 5 percent off a Rock Auto order. Enter: 5838542252472998 in the box that says: How did you hear about us on your shopping cart page. Nope, I don't get anything from them if you do this or not. So, don't flame me for that. Flame me for not being able to find better than five percent. Also, I am not happy that they have now made SmartMail their "go-to" carrier, which from what I can tell is some bastardized form of FedEx's SmartPost, which means now that DHL AND the Postal Service both have a chance to lose my package. Sigh, I used to love it when USPS Priority mail was their go-to.
I actually have ordered from Rock Auto now and then. They have a giant inventory and ship extremely quickly. But, in this instance, remembered her post about their cabin filter and I needed new cabin filters as part of my spring cleaning routine and remembered that they had them cheap -- $3.33 each. I also am getting new engine air filters, but getting that from Toyota at the cost of $18. Now, I just have to go into Downtown Seattle to get it....almost worth ordering them online to forego that "experience." Or, I could drive to Oregon to save the sales tax.
