    Among other things. We purchase via Amazon a time or two. Not very much, but generally useful items not availible or better yet seriously overpriced. We bought a OBD2 Code reader that is also capable of capturing live engine data.

    Paid 30 dollars for it. Otherwise retail is 70 plus 10% tax. The parts shop always keeps the expensive stuff in stock while it's rather slow in updating the cheaper stuff.

    It is far far away from Albuquerque and you have to climb a huge mountsin to reach it, and once you get there ( moriarty and the t/a ) , you'll say to yourself how and why am i here??? Fyi - lived and hauled fuel to the t/a there for 6 years. Not too bad if you don't like citys.

    If you have to run into the mountains of Colorado you must carry chains Sept.-June and they will check at weigh stations to give you the prize if you are not carrying them even on dry roads. Early and late season storms are the worst, dumping heavy amounts of soaking slop which packs into bullet proof ice. Watch the weather and plan your scoot thru them hills on nice days and avoid weekends, ski season, hunting season, summer, fall, winter and spring.
