Default Grocery coupons can save you 20-30%. Spend a $100 and you can do the math.

Save money there, not on cheap or temporary replacement parts on a high maintenance car.

Default I know what you are saying...

I just find it funny that people fuss about gas prices being 5 cents cheaper somewhere, when in reality, they are saving 50 cents on 10 gallons. When you are spending $40, what's another 50 cents?? I'm more giggling at the guy that was looking to save some money on a TBB with some off brand. Considering a torn TBB can cause premature turbo failure, it's like why risk it when Samco or 034 are a couple bucks more. You are right though. Why pay more for an S4 part when an A4 part is the same thing but cheaper.
