Increased chronological age and experience do not insure knowledge on a given subject. They only increase the odds of it having been acquired.
My guess is, that you are talking about a Mom & Pop operation. I have no doubt, that joe_padavano was referring to the “chain stores” that compensate for their lack of service, with low pricing.

I have two of them. Using the same logic, I should know twice as much as they do.

I take it, you are unaware that, the data in those computers is often outdated, inaccurate, and/or incomplete.

You might be interested in knowing that joe_padavano is a nationally recognized authority, who is often quoted in Oldsmobile discussions.
I've learned a lot from from him. You can too, if you make a small change in your attitude.
I have 7 cars, but I have not even listed them. Using the above logic, I have no business posting here.

There is, at least, one mid 9 second Oldsmobile that uses an unmodified Q-jet in NHRA Superstock Competition.
