It sounds like most people are upset about shipping. I am the opposite. I have everything sent next day. Time is more important to me than money (within reason, of course).

What I hate is paying triple because something says "Detomaso" on it. Or paying a lot for NOS when there might be the same part out there for a newer car.

We still have it better than the Lambo guys though. A friend of mine was quoted $1200 for Diablo brake pads, and that might have been per axle (can't remember). She heard rumors that they are the same pads as on a 350Z. She is looking into it.

You wouldn't believe what they pay for commmon things like a distributor cap, plug wires or a starter. Parts that are one third the cost if you tell the parts place that it is for a Jag (same distributor cap, etc.).
