Default New Rock Auto ad

Okay, I admit it.

For some reason, the basic stick animation Rock Auto ad always catches my attention. It is so simplistic, it makes me think that a couple of 6th graders might have animated it. I'm okay with that.

I use Rock Auto for my daily driver stuff, MIL's car parts, stuff like that. Any time that I have had any kind of problem, they have always taken care of it. No questions asked.

I now have a new reason to like Rock Auto. They have a new ad. Again, stick figure type animation and all, but at the end, they are showing real cars in pictures and lo and behold, there is a Speed Yellow 928 in one of the pictures. Happens to be one of my favorite colors on a 928.

Just another reason for me to like Rock Auto.

But Roger, I still love you man.

LOL I don't have a Yellow 928 and I don't work for them.

The closest I ever got to a yellow 928 is the passenger front fender on my Schwartz 928. When I bought it, it came from a wrecked yellow 928 in Tyler. I almost painted the rest of the car to match the fender.

I still might.

I didn't post a link to the new ad. We are deluged daily by ads. I didn't think we needed another one on here. Everybody will see it soon enough anyway I would imagine

See? I was thinking classically understated! But so understated that it catches you. Like you want to see if they added anything or something.
Do you think Professional counseling will help? LOL.
Should I add a link to the new ad?

Well, it's copyrighted and it's on YouTube, so I don't think I want to go down that rabbit hole.

Traitor. You shall be banished into the abyss for your transgressions. May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits.
On another note, Speed Yellow is kinda cool.

Yeah Yeah. Well I don't live close enough to buy every part I get for every car from Roger. Would you have me buy from Autozone? O'Reilly? Advance? If I need something right this minute, I'll drive down to O'Reilly. I like the group in there. But if I'm collecting parts for a non-Porsche car fix, you are darn right I'll scour Rock Auto.

I really am seriously thinking about repainting my Black car Speed Yellow. The car was originally Rose Quartz Metallic (except for the front fenders which had been replaced. The right replacement fender was speed yellow)
