One small business went out

are still around.

They sell Chinese products on the cheap. They are still pretty slow.
You certainly have no problem finding a parking space. Finding someone
who knows anything in the store is tough tho. They are running pretty
lean.
Their business model is "this is a do it yourself store", If you want
to find something, do it yourself. If you want it tied on your car, do
it yourself. Most HD/Lowes these days even want you to check your
stuff out yourself.

I hate all the Chinese crap they sell. I look for alternatives
whenever possible. It's getting harder every day.


Maybe it is time for a real thrust to buy American but that never
really takes off when you see the price tags.


Really? I bought a 23 year old german car rather than a new American
car. Why? Quality. The 23 year old car rides, drives better despite
lacking 23 years of technical progress.

The 23 year old car was more expensive than most modern American boxes
but it won't depreciate like the American pieces of crap.

I'd much rather purchase a superior American product, even at a higher
price. They aren't offered anymore because cheap **** imported by
Walmart, Target and others have flooded the shelves.


What is the cost of repairing your 23 year old german car?
