Wow. That one left quite a crater...

Hey, if the Advanced Auto Parts chain has competent workers in your area, great. My personal experience here in Northern VA is different. I personally would not recommend them as a source of performance advice for a newbie on an engine that's been out of production for 30 years, which is what I said previously.

GM spent a lot of money in THEIR marketing research on the Pontiac Aztek. What's your point?

One sentence about a bad experience at a discount auto parts chain is "picking apart"?

I think the term you're looking for is "irony".

By the way, you ought to look up the term "curmudgeon", since I was applying it to myself. That's called self-depreciating humor.
