I grew up on a farm which I still own there and really have no love for it. It's an old farmer retirement villa slash crackhead inbred breeding facility. I should move to Cold Lake or Bonnyville as this seems to be where I end up all the time but it's no better than Westlock lol. I just want to say something other than Pickardville or Westlock when people ask where I am from. It seems everyone, no matter how random ( like you) knows someone, or lived there or whatever. I am nothing like most people from there and would rather not affiliate with it. I would much rather say "Parkland County" Lol.

Yeah you pretty much hit the nail on the head with that comment. Hey who did you use for a wiring harness and engine mounting plates?

But one would think the prequisite of stealing wiper blades from a pick and pull yard ( they don't pay for them, they were stuffing them in their coat) would be actually owing a vehicle to put them on.

I don't see the advantage to having wiper blades for your shopping cart.

There are simply some items in life I would never purchase used. Even at 50 cents it's a rip off, lol. Now what's scary is you know the purchase price of them meaning you have been tempted..... Lol.

I love how Pick and Pull charges for used fuses too, blown or not; they are like 50 cents a piece and relays like $3 or $4 each. I was buying a fuse block I scabbed out of a 95 Roadmaster because I was taking the e fans and wanted the connectors. I figured they would just charge me one lump sum for the box but oh no every single piece was seperate. I just pulled them out of the box, layed them on the counter, told them good luck finding someone to buy them now, and bought only the parts I needed. So a $10 fuse block all of the sudden was going to be $40 for a bunch of junk I was going to throw away anyhow. Guaranteed they just threw the stuff in the garbage.

That said I need to go pay my $1 circus admission I am thinking this days off and see what treasures I may encounter, lol.

I bought some for my beater sonoma truck as well as some floormats haha. I like to go snoop out what they have.

I know what you mean tho. A few years ago me and my dad bought a hatch and they wanted to charge us extra for all of the things attached like the gas shocks and wiper.

It's funny because I bought a Northstar V8 with the 4T80E transaxle complete minus the starter and a/c compressor and they just lump summed the unit as one. I can understand miscellaneous charges for individual parts but come on, lol. Most of that crap simply goes out in customers pockets and being a dink about overcharging for it just makes people more liable to do that.
