gotta love those hobby store SALES guys, why can't they just help and tell you the truth? "yeah we stock all parts for it", then you go back later and "oops, we just sold the last one to that guy walking out, do you want me to order it for you? i'll put you on the list, let me find the book and the part number." then they'll go into "if you get that part in aluminum it will never brake again, costs a bit more but you only have to switch it out once", (forgot to mention the aluminum knuckle will probably brake the plastic arm next time you crash). all they need to ask is 4 things:

how much were you looking to spend?
where are you going to be driving?
are you driving with anybody else?
what do they drive?

tada! 4 simple questions that narrowed down the hole store down to 2 or 3 cars THEY can pick from and not feel they were "sold" something, answer all their questions and they can leave feeling it was THEIR decision and be proud of it. that or they will leave knowing how much more money they need to save up -ask mom for- before they come back. but they WILL be back at least.

i avoid htusa at all cost, except fuel and plugz, cause they are just like that. hardly ever help, just want to order you stuff, or tell you they don't have it. my favorite line is "should have bought one from here".[:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@]
