In the old days, you never took a road trip in a new car.
EDGEMAN • 12/17/22 04:41 PM ET
Every Ford my dad bought because it was made in the USA. Transmissions go

I went to Advance Auto and bought two of them. The guy at the counter asked
HokieEngineer • 12/17/22 01:58 PM ET
You didn't understand why he asked the question, or why it was on sale?
EDGEMAN • 12/17/22 02:07 PM ET
Why it was on sale. I can't imagine that it was an impulse buy for anyone.**
HokieEngineer • 12/17/22 02:10 PM ET
Guess they rotate their sales of parts, and you just got lucky getting...
