yep me too. The order online feature is locked out, plus the in store only prices is twice the quote in the above post. Oh well. Brad Penn is still priced well.

Well when I arrived at the local Autozone / Sears Hardware strip mall, I parked next to a nice 1969T with 120k miles. I snapped a picture and went in. I came out and he was snapping a quick phone picture. Real nice guy, but aren't we all.

Hmm... punched in my zip code (California), then proceeded to order 36qts online with free shipping at $3.29 a quart. It took my order. Hopes this works. Fantastic deal. I'm normally paying $90 for a case (12 qts) of Brad Penn.

Nice!
Did you get a $15 AutoZone gift card too for ordering > $100?

You're changing for two now

Stuff I ordered is the Dino Oil. Trusting the board on this one that's its good for my car. Of course I extended the same trust by using Brad Penn as well.

I used BP for several years (partial syn). Locally the availability of BP ended so I moved to VR1. Frequent oil changes and the proper levels of ZDDP are the key not necessarily the brand.

Funny, the only brush-off I've had from an aircooled 911 owner came from a guy in a very nice original-looking 1968T.

He was following me across town for about 2 miles and then ended up in the next lane over at a stoplight. I rolled down the window a bit and gave a wave and said "hey" or something, expecting to exchange a few pleasantries. The guy gave one sideline glance at my 964, put a sneer on his face, looked straight ahead, and then floored it when the light turned green.

Not sure what that was about... I guess he thought my non-functional wing vent and integrated bumpers make me a 911 poseur?

I saw absolutely no reason to race him off that stoplight, but I think the old lady in the Camry behind me could have kicked his ***.
