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:

womp womp

A babbling brook.

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.

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.

I did a thing a couple years ago where I dropped about $500 buying every style of boxer brief that looked appealing or had a strong fanbase. I tried saxx, Duluth, all citizens, meundies, bn3th, Mac Weldon, Lululemon, Tommy John, separatec, and probably a few others.

All Citizens are my winner overall - the BN3TH are also really nice - I actually like their cuts and design better, but the materials don't hold up nearly as well as the All Citizens. All Citizens are also much better value, IMO.

For the All Citizens, I'm specifically talking about their Paradise Pocket boxer briefs. My legs are proportionally beefy in comparison to my waist, so it's also nice that All Citizens offer an "Athletic Fit" option that keeps the legs from being overly tight. Just snug enough not to ride up without pinching or leaving a visible line visible through pants.
