So the PartsPimp went on a trip. The travel agent booked me to Grand Rapids. So I'm in the airport and they are calling out, "PartsPimp, PartsPimp" from the ticket desk. I thought, "What are the odds. Someone else has the PartsPimp name..." Also, I didn't think too much of it because the ticket desk said Grand Rapids, MN not Grand Rapids, MI (where I was going.) Just to make sure, I went up and verified indeed I was booked on the WRONG flight.
I explained this is the wrong flight. I can't fly up there, how would I get to Michigan? The ticket agent said, come with me. He walked up to the small turbo prop plane, climbed onto the wing and opened the cargo hatch. "Come up here and tell me which bag is yours!?!?!" he shouted over the airport noise. So I climb up, in my fine PartsPimp garb. Its 95 degrees and 90% humidity while I'm pulling my suitcase out of the cargo hold of the plane. Meanwhile, everyone on the plane and in the terminal is staring out wondering why I'm out there.
The air conditioned terminal was a welcome relief. The PartsPimp doesn't sweat under pressure but in hot sunlight, yours truly was melting. It was also a relief to have the other ticket agent offer to take my bag. "Don't worry sir, we'll get this on the right flight." He said. When I get to Grand Rapids, MI guess what? My bag is sitting in Grand Rapids, MN. It took 3 days for me to get my clothes. The old PartsPimp was pretty ripe to say the least.
Onto the parts! Going through my tickle truck of knowledge, I ran into this nugget. For medium duty truck parts, check out http://http://www.activetruckparts.com/. Its tough finding Isuzu and Fuso parts but these guy have 'em. They also have pickup and semi truck parts too.
