If it's an OEM part that I need, I usually use the car manufacturer's parts catalog to find a part number. Then I enter that part number in a web browser, and browse through whatever comes up to find the lowest price from a trustworthy source (usually a car dealer online somewhere that sells/ships parts and has an online store, but sometimes eBay, Amazon, etc.)

Aftermarket parts get a little more complicated because it depends entirely on what kind of part you're looking for.

I'm not generally the type for this kind of meaningless comment, but it is just so perfectly apropos, I present the following statement:

Volkswagen used forced labor from concentration camps. I don't think there's any way to argue that a company built upon human suffering isn't evil - or at least wasn't at the time.

The Autobahn was built using forced labor of re-education camps, prisoners of war, prison inmates, and Jews from concentration camps. If the Wright Brothers made the first powered flight in an aircraft built of human flesh from murdered victims, nobody sane would be celebrating their achievement.

There is NOTHING honorable about causing harm to others so you can have more for yourself.

Same. Lost a very good friend because I was too slow to change, lost my family because I did.

77% of national flags contain red.

...Which is a bit disturbing because it is generally used to refer to bloodshed or might in battle - partially in a "let's honor the past" sort of way, but mostly in a "don't fuck with us" sort of way.

You Beautiful parking lot

This sounds like something Leslie Knope would call Ann Perkins.

Because being poor, uneducated, and unloved with a chip on your shoulder makes you a likely Republican voter. I would bet the whole farm that unwanted children are far more likely to grow up to vote Republican, and I think that's one of the primary reasons they fight against abortion, and any other policies that increase education and security for children.

A sealed casket is buoyant. If a cemetery is flooded, caskets, especially of the recently deceased with disturbed soil, are known to rise through the soil and then dump their contents (bodies) into the floodwaters.
