Ron is not the only MAN....Kyle at volks cafe and Jim at the old volks home will go
to the ends of the earth for you as well, and give you a good price, too.  Heck, Jim
even steers you to his competitors if he thinks they can get you a part only a day
sooner due to shipping...and he just donated an entire exhaust system to help out a
listee.  And with Kyle, I can send an e-mail at mid-night and the parts are in UPS
the next morning and at my house the next day.  Bus depot may be a dollar or two
cheaper on some stuff, but Jim and Kyle more than make up for that in service and
have spent much time on the phone with me discussing technical issues.  Not to take
anything away from Ron...but don't forget these guys...  Without them, we would be
paying more and getting less.
