I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

one time i went to advance on central avenue and i was getting an exhaust pipe and i specifically told them that it was for a 97 civic COUPE. so they give me the pipe i take it home and try to fit it up and its for a hatch back. i take it back - theyre out of the pipe i need. so i go to another one they give me the wrong pipe (by this time i knew it was wrong by looking at it) so i finally get the right pipe. this was a couple years ago by the way


now this past summer i had the same problem except my mid pipe and my muffler went to shit. so this time i try autozone. after waiting for like 3 hours in line i tell the guy my story. he says they have the mid pipe but not the miffler so he said he would order it and it would be there in 2 days. fine. i go back 2 days later and this new guy is like "uhhh there was never any order placed for you exhaust pipe." motherfucker. the reason i was so pissed is because in like 2 or 3 days i was driving to virginia beach and i couldnt really do that without an exhaust. so the guy finally calls me one day later which means i have that day to put the pipe on before i go to VA. i finally go the pipe and muffler after 3 days of waiting. FUCK autozone and advance.

lol I have various horror stories at both Autozone and Advance. I actually called them on friday when I thought I needed spacers for the new wheels, and I got that kid at autozone in hornerstown, that has the blue impala with a fart can and drop springs. He told me to call racers edge haha. Then, I called advance and the guy hesitated for a second, said 'no' and before I could tell him their website showed them having them, he hung up on me. Fucking jerk. lol. So that is just one incident. One thing I try to always do, is take the part I need with me, sometimes thats the only way.
