When I am not giving Pelican sweet loving, I am loving me some car quest!

So my flex disk popped on me today.

I called my "usual" (no more) local vendor who is clueless, $80 and monday/tues.
I checked Napa, $145 and Monday
I checked that az place and pelican, both had what I wanted (or thought I did) but shipping meant I was going to have to wait.
I checked the local autozoos and they all had dorman crap.

THEN I remembered about car quest, that they are a worldpac dist. We only have a few in town. Looking online they had the "hardened" one.

So I called one of them and he said Monday because the worldpac warehouse that had what I wanted was in Norcross. So I said what about one closer to Norcross? He sent me to the Roswell store (which is probably closer to me anyways). I called them up with the part number he gave me. Lemforder! Well now I am getting excited. What is the lemforder number? "My book doesnt tell me that".

Oh. Starting to get a little disappointed. I said ok get the order then he says. What car? So I run down a 87 190d. He says "OK I have three different ones for this car, all lemforder". Drool. "How about this, I will order all three and you pick which one you want."

FLABBERGASTED.
