Portland area parts stores...

I just wanted to throw out a rant about the parts stores around here...

Autozone
Baxters
Shucks/Oreilley
Knechts
Napa


not one of them has a K&N drop in filter for our cars... WTF?

if I have to order it and wait for it, why the hell would I order if from a parts store and pay 55.00 rather than if I order it from Amazon and spend 35.00?

I bet Gi Joes would have had it in stock! I expected Baxters to have one, especially in their gigantic warehouse, but apparently its too full of shock absobers for a 1972 Chevy Blazer (which I used to have and they actually DID have lots of parts for)

disappointing... but I am saving 20.00 and learning a lesson in patience.

Cheers.

Give ETS a call. I bet they have one.
