strng rack

[Jon VonOhlsen]

Clint,
My only problem with that is I can get many of the parts (German OEM) for 3 or 4x
LESS than most of the mechanics charge. I expect to pay a little more for the
mechanic to supply the parts, for inventory, shipping, etc. but NOT 3 or 4x (or
more). That's taking food from MY kids mouth.
