Small rant, Auto Atlanta SUCKS! Options

[BMXerror]

I wanted to order a throttle body gasket for my 1.7 (the rubber ones). I couldn't find them anywhere so I came on this board to ask where I could get them, if anywhere, stating that I couldn't find them at Pelican, Tweeks, Automotion, or Auto Atlanta. Then 'someone' from Auto Atlanta chimed in and said that they had them. So I asked for a link or part number or something since I couldn't find them on the website. To this 'someone' replied that he had "four in his hand that he just set down to type this", and that I should look somewhere local, since they're SOOO plentiful, and I shouldn't have to pay for shipping. I looked.... unsuccessfully. I then proceeded to PM 'someone' and he finally gave me a part number to put into a Google search per his instructions. Guess which site pops up.... YOU GUESSED IT, Auto Atlanta's.... and only Auto Atlanta's. "FINALLY," I thought, "I can order this damn thing." So I did. Two days later I get an e-mail from 'someone else' saying that the part is 'no longer available' and that they have a $20 minimum order rule anyway!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Keeping things in perspective. RIP Howard.
I don't mean to sound petty. I was just sharing my experience. Perhaps the one opinion that I expressed in the thread description is a bit premature, but like I said, the experience just left a foul taste in my mouth. As for it being JUST a gasket, what can I say? If you need it, you need it. If you can't make it, you buy it. As I said, I was just stating the facts of MY personal experience. I will say no more on the subject. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif)
Right now one of the senior members is helpin' me out, so I should be good.
