as i have learned over and over again, spending that tiny bit extra (like 30$ on a price of part) is worth every penny having a shop that will truly stand behind their work.

That's $20,000 in inventory alone for one product. Then you get to wait to sell those while you have your capital tied up. Let's multiply that by the 10 hottest selling parts...... and look at the amount of money that's needed to have part'sn the shelf. It ain't cheap.
Just in case you have an extra couple hundred thousand laying aroud.

stick around... there is always a monthly post about those morons..
or do a search on their name.. there have been MANY threads about those guys.. but they keep a low profile lately.. probably because they are on the Honda Boards trying to race 16sec cars with their 11 sec cars so they can feel rad..
NAAAAWWZZZ..
