burns my biscuts !! - lonehunter - 10-15-2003
ya' know what really burns my biscuts ? know matter it is what you buy , getting the right replacement part for something .
wether it's a knob for the kitchen cupboard , or a part for the car , ya' gotta search high and low for the "right part " , in some cases the thing you need the most you saw at a flea market a year ago with a .25cent sticker on it . heck you think you got it made when you got the bad part off , got the make and model number scribbled on a piece of paper along with the serial number , just in case along with the lifetime warenty . with a
on your face you shove the part on the counter along with all the necessary information . this will be a breese you think, that is untill you hear the words , "they don't make those parts anymore" anymore ? hey i bought this thing brand new last year and i got a lifetime warrenty !
sorry bud , the warrenty and the company died two days ago .
you just gotta wonder what thoes auto manufacters are diong , auto parts salesman: so need a starter , what year , what month ? ohhh , you got your choise of a hundred and nintey seven of them , that is unless it was made after thursday of that week , then there might be a couple more to check out . is your car out in the parking lot so we can take a look at it ?
sure , it's parked right next to my lear jet ! how am i gonna start it with a busted starter !
and how about brake pads ? we won't even go there fellas , will we .
appliance parts person : what model washing machine did you say that button come from ? hhhmmmm , oh here it is 1.45 . wait a minute , that manufacturer went out of business . not the washer manufacturer , the button manufacturer , the replacement controll unit will cost you $287.98 plus tax and a service call . ya wanna buy a warrenty with that ?
aaaaaggggggghhhhhhh !

I end up keeping way too much stuff around, and when I finally throw them away I get screwed. Can't park the car in the garage anymore.

I know this feeling all to well I bought a 76 amc pacer that I have been restoring. and every part that I get for it when I finally do find somewhere tgat has it. I order the part and when I get it it is the wrong part. very frustrating. by the way you know anyone that would want ot buy an amc pacer. hahahaha.
