I thought about you the other day when I found myself going into the Auto Zone store near me. I think you had mentioned them a while back. I had been in there once before but had forgotten that was their name. I thought it was a different chain. Anyhow, I was very impressed. The place was very busy. I could barely find a parking spot close to the store front. It wasn't Christmas shoppers in there as much as it was guys like myself looking for something for their car. In my case, I was looking for a car cover to protect my '68 convertible. The kid from behind the counter really went out of his way to help me find the right one. Then I recognized another dude from the counter that helped me last time to match up a part to fit that old engine of mine. He had almost given me a lesson on how to install it when I sounded a little bit puzzled. Anyhow, I realized how much I like that store. When I got home I thought to myself that I should buy a few shares of AZO. I waited though when I saw they were due to report this week. I'm glad I waited. Today I bought a little at a big discount. I'm already in the green by a buck. I'll keep tight reigns on them. If they keep dropping I'll sell and wait a little longer. Anyhow, thanks for mentioning them over here. -KnuckleBustinGreaseMonkey
