how did you get it up your driveway? it requires special state-mandated curbing.

They're just not that professional, from the ones I've been in. If you know what you're looking for, good.... their prices are usually good. If you have technical questions I'd look for another parts store.

^ My experience supports what Costco said. I like going there because most parts are at a discount, and they have Seafoam and some car care products you can't find elsewhere.

But I tried to buy pads and rotors for my Accord from them, and they gave me the wrong parts twice. According to their website, the part number was right but it wasn't even close to fitting.

just ordered oem filter for me and K&N for my mom. I didnt know K&N filters were reusable, just gotta clean it. Not worth it for me. But with the filter only $6 more than OEM totally worth it for my moms accord.

one of the internet's most famous Lambo owners just purchased a Countach. It was built for Mario Andretti and he owned it for a few years. Have a look.

Ok is there any store to buy LED bulbs for cars?? I dont wanna keep ordering a few at a time online cause shipping is basically twice the price of the bulb, and i dont wanna buy bulk unless i know i'll get to the other places of putting the bulbs in.

So can i buy a 74 type LED bulb in a hardware/parts store anywhere?

Could probably check home depot, lowes, or radio shack online

ahh okk thanks, it looks like i can buy just an LED bulb. But i know that I cant just use the bulbe cause it will just burn out right away, correct? I'd need to solder it to a resistor and then somehow connect that to the connectors that the 74 type bulb has. Guess i'll just order it online and pay for shipping

Raging Bull Churns out 1000 Aventador Supercars in 15 Months

Submitted by imaginelifestyles on July 26, 2012 - 11:41am

With people around the globe clamoring for delivery of their Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 supercars, the company has been putting the pedal to the metal in order to fill orders, building 1,000 units over the past 15 months. To put this feat into proper perspective, it took them nearly 3 years to reach that milestone with the Murcielago.

Wow. I knew the Gallardo was an amazing turnaround for the company to finally churn a profit, but this may very well be the first V12 model to make the company a solid profit as well.
