Thank you for the pic, now I know what to look for.
I'll be there in a couple hours, and I just booked a hotel close to there.
You American folks are spoiled. In Canada we get screwed on car parts, distribution and import fees, taxes and shipping. Some parts end up over double price in Canada.

That Summit is amazing. That's a big toy store!!
Yes, the Ohio one would be much closer if I was going just to buy parts, but that was on the way home.
I got home to Whitby, yesterday, just before the snow started. Then it got dam cold!
The drive up I75 wasn't near as interesting as the I79-I77 trip was on the way down.
Not enough hills and curves for me. Traffic was a lot better, but I hit one tie up for a few miles for a pickup truck on its roof. Another very minor tie up for a cop car looked like he hit a guardrail on a bridge, yup, bridges freeze before roadways.

It was a good trip and the Monte still runs great, just turned over 151,000 miles.
It did eat a quart of oil, but that's normal,

Glad you made it back safe and sound , still envious of you for going south though lol

I have to second what you say about performance parts in Canada, the only reasonable place to find anything half the time is on Ebay and then you get shipping and duty which makes the "cheap" factor less noticeable
