No confusion, we know Joe mondello has nothing to do with mondellotwister (mondello performance), the man passed away.

I'll give them a call, and don't take this the wrong way but i'll never trust anything with that name again. Maybe when joe sold what he did to "Lynn" he should have made them change the name, because it's ruined now.

Good points...BUT...how many times do we see "where's the cheapest place to buy XYZ?"

Street goes both ways.

If everybody shops based solely on price, you wind up with nothing but Walmart type operations, where the customers b*tch about lack of service, but want the absolute lowest price on EVERYTHING.

This is true but in many cases 'XYZ' are actual name brand items that are the same no matter where you buy them. For example, if I wanted to buy a brand new Edelbrock Performer intake manifold and I know I can get it for a better price at 'Freds Performance' over anywhere else then I'm going to Freds Performance. Now if Fred's had their own line of intake manifolds and they were being sold for less than the Edelbrocks intakes, then I personally would suspect Chinese quality crap and spend more on the Edelbrock.

Missed the point completely. I was commenting on the idea that nobody is willing to go the mile to hire useful help...and why would they when most buyers are just price wh*res....rather than spend the couple extra bucks to buy from the seller that offers service. THAT'S the point.

Me, personally, I usually do all my research myself rather than rely on a salesperson...cause many times they really have no clue. There are those, however, that feel they need the input of salesmen, as evidenced by the whining that goes on from time to time about it at Jegs, Summit, wherever. I'm sure, in all fairness, that there are MANY more satisfied customers than complainers.

There's a place for both methods.

After I know what I am going to buy, I then start looking at prices. I have bought things locally many times even though it was a little more than at the mailorder/online outfits just because they were local, or had a presence in the local community or sometimes "just because". However, there are times it's just so disparate that online ordering wins.

Missed the point completely.

No, I knew what you were driving at but just wanted to point out the difference between the types of 'deal-seekers' out there. I too will usually pay a little more ( depending on how much more we're talking of course ) from a place I trust rather than a cheaper amount from a place I don't. Trying to return that faulty part to that 'cheaper' place to exchange it for a better one could end up costing you more money than you thought you'd be saving ordering from them due to their craptacular return policies. Ask me how I know..... Never again.
