ADVANCE!!!

I have mentioned a few times how Autozone, Advance and a few others (but not O'Reilly or NAPA that I've encountered) have happily provided me with the wrong parts in the right boxes recently--to the extent that I stopped frequenting there store after a counter clerk could not even recognize that the part in the box was a master cylinder!!!

Yes, I know NAPA, O'Reilly, and the stores I haven't mentioned all have there own drawbacks...I'm not claiming any one is better than the others so much as that I cannot work with the "required psychic abilities beyond the bounds of normal part numbering" expected for Advance and Autozone customers today.

I would approach this as another instance of the wrong part in the right box from Advance.
