Default Stealership Rant
They're high-lowing me. $6ea for water pump gaskets, which is cheaper than Pepboys $9ea. But the GD o-ring for the idle air control thingamajig is $11 !!!

Before I paid that for an o-ring, I wouldve went to lowes and looked in the hardware section and they have a drawer with o-rings in it and tried to find one that wouldve worked.

I didn't buy it yet, and probably won't. I'm off to Lowe's

Did you see this thread in the for sale section - TPS and IAC for $85. He includes bolts and the O ring. I bought them recently, they work fine:
