When I was shopping for CV boots, I asked for German - this FLforeignAPS guy
said "these are Brazilian.  They don't make 'em in Germany anymore".  Suuure
they don't!  He also tried to sell me 8mm star bolts after I asked for 6mm
6-point allen bolts - "All VW busses use these".. Yeah, right, bye now!
