mcmaster, rockauto, digikey, ... don't tell anyone, they'll "modernise" them and fuck it all up.

  Tip: have a fun car that you buy rockauto parts for? Send them a photo by email for their magnet series! They do a new one every month and so they can often oblige you within a few months. They send you a stack of magnets with your car on them, and of course there's a chance they'll be included in everyone else's orders. A few of my cars have appeared on rockauto magnets and they bring me much joy.

  Digikey's empty search for the entire catalog listing in categories (and then extraordinary filtering tools within categories) is absolute perfection.

  Rockauto sends the wrong parts and list the wrong parts for certain cars. Not a fan any longer. I now will call around dealerships some will let you open a personal account with them and give you a better pricing. Just call the parts departments. ULPT: Another thing you can do when you call is just ask "Whats our price on it?" They will ask who you are with. Just mention the name of the largest specialty ship matching the brand of the place you are calling. They almost always have an account. Now just say you'll come and pay and pickup in person. "I'm sending the new guy" Now you just got your car part at the MAP price.
