No offense needed, you got that out of the way early. Wal-Mart has nothing
to do with your problem. My only point is that not all parts are carried in
stock so you can fix any car you want by walking in and walking out with
everything you need. My guess is that you were way over due to change the
rubber parts anyway. Even though it failed because of lack of good
maintenance it is the cars fault, not yours. Just as you were willing to
come into a Corvette group and kick the Corvette, what did you expect. If
you want pity this is not the group to be in, if you need help, ask. I've
seen many good tips and helpful people here and they respond when they can
or think they can help.

You are put upon so badly, darn those ol Wal-Mart people. Wait until the
state wants your property, you think they play fair? I'm sure they bathe
more to your standards and wear better clothes in your opinion. Will you
then quit going to that state? Life is to short going around hating things
you can't change.

Please do, it may like the proper maintenance the new owner can give it. A
true machanic will replace what is needed, not "everything" in hopes that
it is the right "everything".
