Partsource Warning
Yeah....Partsource is a retarded store...I really really like Walker road automotive, seeing as it's a block away from my home, cheap, high quality, and FRIENDLY...The guys there remember you, and ask you how your current project is going
(in my case a '57 Mercedes 219) That makes you feel really good, you know? To neal; OMG...I would have FLIPPED...lol...
I hate Canadian tire though...Like, I'll be in there, seeing kids my age buying 'xr racing' seat covers...I always laugh...And then, they go and buy those gay *** Blue and red and Skull type valvecaps, and their like..."ohhh sweeet" Get outside, see 'em pull away in an 88 honda civic that sounds like a beehive with a thunderstorm in it....Partsource and canadian tire are stores that know nothing, and im sticking with that.
YOU WANT THE FULL, COMPLETE STORY? READ ON..
When they told my mom that the oil filter didnt exist, I was like Huh? Im on the phone, under the truck...I thought maybe it was static or somethin...Shes like hold on...She puts the guy on the phone, and hes like, "nope, you read it wrong" im like dude, im under the truck as we speak. I was like ok, just give me the SMALLER one...He gave me the LONGER one, because he's deaf.He even said to my mom, if it dont fit, bring it back, we'll get you another. So i get it on, no fittey, bring it back. Guys like I cant take this. It's already been fitted. I say well the other man said we could return it if it didnt fit. Guy says I cant sell that, it's of no damn use to me! I'm like easy, buddy...It was quiet, nobody talkin, and I looked kinda bummed, cuz now im stuck with a bum filter i'll never use, and he chirps, "i cant sell that. it's not resaleable. You gave the wrong number, and got the wrong product. Maybe you should research cars a little bit then come back and see me, son." I was stunned...six bucks! No big deal! 6 Bucks! Hell, if it was 60 bucks i'da fought a lot harder! So I said to him, who the **** do you think you are? I Just asked for an oil filter, I never insulted you! who gives you the right to insult me? Get me an oil filter for a '94 5.8 NOW, And dont you call me son. You're not my dad. Guy looks up, says I'm the owner of the store, Son. I chirp in with NOW! So He Grins and shakes his head, looks through his little bookie, and walks around to the back... Brings back a filter, and i checked to make sure this time. It was good. As we left, he Calls back; "You left your Member card here...SON"
He says 'Son' nice and crisp and loud, you know? Calmly, with a slight grin on my face, I walked back, bent the card into a 'V' shape, and threw it at him. "Do you know what that is? That's a V shape. Kinda like a V-8, but ya didnt know that did ya?" He called me Son TWO times AFTER i'd asked him not to. Geez I was mad...I'll NEVER shop there again...there ya have it folks..Every LITTLE detail...Some i shoulda included into the orignal story, but i was still pissed, and when ur pissed, u forget things. It's only when you're cooled down you remember the small things.
A beer for all my Fellow Anti-Partsource Boys!
Yeeee-Haw!

That reminds me a little of the time when I needed to siphon my moms gas tank cause someone poured a gallon of antifreeze in it. I walk up to the parts counter and ask the guy behind it, if they carried a siphon. He's like "What's a siphon??" I must've had the most
bizarre look on my face from disbelief, cause he kind of ****ed his head like a puzzled dog, lol. I walked through the store and came back with one in about 10-15 seconds. I threw it on the counter and said, "That",, "is a siphon" "Maybe you'll know that next time, huh?" I bought the thing and walked out the door. Within 6 months from that day, the store was closed with a for sale sign on it.
