Enjoy this great hobby, but expect to get exactly what you pay for .......... good luck
I totally agree with that - as long as they can be convinced to assume that very expensive shipping cost. Their advertising says free shipping - it isn't. Every time UPS/USPS/FEDEX raise their price - so will the Summit's and Jeg's of the world.

More and more automobile parts are made in China - though I was able to buy a switch, a box of terminals and some wire at NAPA, that, horrors, was ALL made in the USA.

My wife did some comparative shopping over the weekend and found that several items (and she seldom will do this) at Wally World were significantly MORE expensive then Target, and the Rite-Aid drugstore where she finally bought the item. Plus it was US made rather then an "undetermined" country. Since I'm doing most of the grocery shopping (she's still working) I've found that Wal Mart is no longer a bargain for much of anything any longer.
