from different auto parts manufacturers. Times have changed for sure,
and not for teh best.

When I said I'm cheap, it's somewhat of a jest...
One would think that Zip would include a nice calender with a Xmas order for their customers.........

M.Hall,
I hate to be the one to break this news to you, but teh is not a word, at least not an English word. You used it in every single post. I can understand an occasional typo, but not every time you use teh word. (sorry, couldn't help myself...lol)
I am not trying to be a smart-a$$, just a short tutor in English. Many people on here do not know when to use then and than either, so don't feel bad. As in, I like Polo Green more then Ruby Red, and I drove a Roadster than a Coupe one day. Completely backwards, and easy to see why.
You are welcome, to those who appreciated it. You are not, to those who did not. Happy Holidays to all anyway!!!!

We all have "trouble" words. Mine is "bacuase" for "because" and leaving the 'r' off of "your".
