Called the local shop to see if they had a part. The kid on the phone said, "Yeah, we have it!"
I told him to set it aside for me with my name on it and I would pick it up during my lunch break. He said, "Sure, no problem." The shop was JUUUUUUUST far enough away to have the trip consume my entire lunch hour.
I show up, ask for the kid, he looks at me like he's never heard of me, even though we had talked a mere 35 minutes prior. He says, "Let me look it up for you." I said, "On the phone, you told me you had it in stock and that you were going to put it aside for me to pick up."
He gives me a completely blank stare. Looks at his monitor. Says, "No we don't have it in stock."
"Sorry."
Yup. I'm sorry too. I bad mouth that company every time I get. Hahm Motorsports in Anaheim, CA. Of course, it's been a while. Maybe they've gotten better.
Nah. I doubt it.
