Then you don't understand anal retentive perfectionist behavior like I do.

There are folks all over the world looking for that one last part to make their rare piece of history juuuussssst right.

I don't know if the OEM parts stash exists or not, and maybe it's just one shelf's worth of the Almighty Lucas wiper motors or something, but it sure does create some hysteria and excitement around here. That I'm grateful for.
