The right part will ALWAYS cost more!

Since your driving an Opel they will also have to order and it will come on the slow train from China, lol!

I've spent 12 years working in auto parts and that's the first thing I learned!

Have you learned the lessons only of those who admired you, and were tender with you, and stood aside for you? Have you not learned great lessons from those who braced themselves against you, and disputed passage with you?
Walt Whitman

Aviation in itself is not inherently dangerous. But to an even greater degree than the sea, it is terribly unforgiving of carelessness, incapacity, or neglect.
