Little trick I learned... The UPS guy can be taught.. OK... bought... A few cold drinks & he remembered what car my wife drives and thus when to keep driving... A few "Salon/Shopping" bucks for her and her car is magically not in the driveway when the BIG orders deliver! The little orders were easy to get away with...Soooo Order the big ones all at once, watch the UPS tracking numbers on UPS.com, let the Mrs. know how much you care about her happiness and how she needs to get out more, hand over a pre-measured amount of cash and see ya later.. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cheers.gif

There was only one time this did not work for me.. The long block arrived a day early from Rivergate...& I was at work... "Busted!" /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Good to know!... Most of my car came from Moss in Goleta and Alanta Imports... A few things I ordered from overseas...

When it comes to parts, you need a wife that drives a Sprite. Makes life a whole lot easier!

Watch the tracking numbers then send the wife to salon; deceptive, immoral, sneaky and manipulative....
I'll try it tuesday.

Shoot, I give wife the parts list and ask her if she thinks we need anything else on this order.
