[DeTomaso] Here we go again - vendors

[John Bentley (jab)]

Right-on Ron.  I buy what I can from local auto parts stores and get all
the special stuff from the Pantera vendors.  (who wouldn't)  The vendors
do us a favor in stocking common items so those that want to get
everything from one place, can.  You pay for convenience.  I don't think
the vendors are "out to get us" on common items.  By and large they are
all great people.  If you think $55 is a fair price for a muffler
hanger, you should buy it. :)

Are you forgetting that vendors have the little rubber muffler hanger
for sale at $55.   YOU get ahold of yourself.  I bought 3 or 4 of them
for a total of $5  from a local one man muffler shop.    You don't know
what you're talking about.  "a little bit of a premium".....what planet
are you on?

The little bit of premium profit our vendors may make 
on some standard off-the-shelf items is what enables them to take the 
risk on the specialty parts.
