Auto Parts Super Center

You photoblogger guys and gals — y’know, the ones that would be in the blogroll to the right, if it were working — may not know this, but when you post? It pops up on my computer within like five minutes. So when I saw Joe and Drew update in the same hour, I took it as a sign I should be putting something online. 

These images come from a neighborhood that’s kind of defined by car parts. It’s tough to say which businesses are legit and which aren’t; like a lot of marketplaces, there are a lot of stalls with a lot of stuff, and the place can kinda give you sensory overload. But if you need a part for anything, odds are you can find it somewhere around here.
