I only go to my LHS for little purchases like fuel and glow plugs etc... I find that the arf's are just too high priced for me( example: they had an arf I liked for $180 w/o taxes, while when I bought it online I got it for $130 thats including taxes and shipping with the shipping being only 1-day) I like to support him, since he does own the field we use and do some maintaining but when it comes to high price items I just don't have the extra money to dish out when online store's quality and service have been getting better and better.
