[Fot] Sadly a Sign of the times-

Not even Napa.  I went in and asked for an generic exhaust hanger. After 
asking the make, model and year it was for, she said I don't think we 
carry those.  There are other Napa stores in the area that are better 
staffed.

I usually try and avoid the "make, model and year" question, but some 
times I just have to say customized 1914 Ford or whatever weird thing 
I'm working on at the time.  I have to admit though that sometimes you 
get someone that will take the time to match up what you want with what 
they have.
