Man do these people kill some trees. I just got my third or maybe fourth different 2007 parts catalog from them. Why they don't send out small supplement catalogs is beyond me. With the money they would save on printing they could lower their prices to compete with some of the other aftermarket parts dealers.

Hey Monster. I'm not flaming you but, that's why they grow those trees. I always get a chuckle when people say to use less paper to save trees. There's a few million acres of trees here in Louisiana that are grown just to make paper and they support a large portion, if not all in some cases, of the poor rural economy here. I'm sure that this is true in other states as well. These trees are crops just like rice or soybeans. They just take more than one year to become a harvestable product. The tracts are grown in rotation and harvested when the trees reach the maximum size before becoming a loss risk. Then the tract is replanted and the process starts over. My forester friends that work for these companies wish you would order two or three catalogs to solidify their job security.

That tree comment was just a little funny comment to go along with the post. I wasn't putting them down for killing trees. More for putting so many of these different full size catalogs for one single parts year. They could get away with putting out one, then putting out smaller supplements. That would also make it easier to see what was new. Of course they got the idea. You are gonna thumb through looking for new stuff and come across one of these and one of that and one of those that you had been meaning to order.

No offense intended.

I use their catalog for reference for comparison shopping and new product introduction. however I generally find the item I'm needing or wanting elsewhere (ebay) at better prices.
