Re: [Chrysler300] Stuff NAPA had then that they don't have now

[Ray Jones <hurst300@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry you feel that way.

What it has to do with this Club is that we all must deal with these  
people in the ongoing quest to better or just maintain our cars. I live  
in a small town with 5 Auto Parts stores, and the one I use has very  
knowledgable people behind the counter. As you can see from the replys,  
most are not that fortunate.

Sorry you won't make it to the Meet. In the 30 years since you've come  
to one there have been maybe 15 with-in a days drive, including 5 in  
OHIO!  Sorry you didn't make any of them either.

Regards, Ray
