As an example I had a friend tell me that he needed a rear end for a truck. This rear end was not to be found everywhere, he spent weeks calling and searching. I chuckled as I walked over to my computer. I went to car-part and selected the vehicle information and part description using their menus. A few seconds later up pops the results with several parts available. The funny thing is that car-part allows you to sort your results by distance. There was a rear end available approx 20 miles from my friends house. He lives in the sticks and the closest city is 20 miles away.
