OTOH, I live nearby, and used to stop in there for parts -- not anymore if I can help it. Their parts are okay, but they seem to try to gip you by charging you more than the catalog price. I've called them on it three times now, and the last time I went in, nobody seemed to want to wait on me. I had to actually ask, after waiting there with the Weber manual I wanted in hand, and watching them wait on two other people who came up to the counter after me, if I could pay for it. I mean, there was a significant difference in the catalog price and what they were charging me. So in addition to their already higher catalog price, they were really trying to gouge me. I'm sure if you made an order using a credit card, you'd get the same treatment. So -- if you order, send a check or money order. I've never gotten this sort of a deal from other parts places -- in fact, my FLAPS seems to always quote me one price over the phone, then charge less when I actually get there to buy it. But they don't have all the goodies that a VW specialty house does either. -- Harmon Seaver hseaver@csd.uwm.edu hseaver@nyx.cs.du.edu seaverh@vaxa.cis.uwosh.edu harmon@buffett.engr.wisc.edu All is impermanent -- and this too shall pass away.
