REALLY REALLY sucks to see them go out of business.
I might have to see what they can do on some new tires. I'll probably swing by there tomorrow

yeah...seriously - autobac's was my home away from home

though they didn't sell much for our cars - i still like the community it brought (for the most part anyways)

I used to love going to yuki sushi then browse around autobac's looking for random crap to buy...

oh well...

i picked up a california duster, a couple of option dvd's, a couple t-shirts and 5 air freshners...

they said the one in covina is supposed to close next week and have all their remaining stuff transported to the one in stanton. Hopefully there's still some good stuff left - i wanna pick up some more dvd's

unfortunately it's not...it's slim pickin's right now - i remember pulling up and seeing a bunch of crappy civics parked out front w/a bunch of idiots stacked inside each isle looking for to buy ****, that i'm sure won't fit some of their cars...

as of right now, i'm trying to talk to some of the rx7 club members to see if we can put together a farewell meet. I'd like to see the store go out with some kinda bang...

you guys are retarded.
When I think "air freshener", NOWHERE in my mind does the word "squash" come up!
Strawberries, vanilla, yes. Squash?!

seriously bro, i'm gonna drop a squash air freshner in your car one day and you're gonna love it -

honestly, i have no idea why the scent is called 'squash' - IMO, it doesn't smell anything like a squash. But whatever it is, it's freakin' awesome - lol

I think you just get use to the smell... and when the air freshener isn't so "new" anymore, you really can't smell it anymore. Because I remember there would be times I would be too broke to buy a new one, and my car would be without one for a few weeks, but everyone would say it still smelled of squash.

Ha... Did you leave the actual freshener there? Or just the case? Cause I've been guilty of just leaving the case there for weeks at a time... I don't know about 3 months though
