I'm one of those old geezers who would rather pick up a part and hold it in my hands before I commit to buying it, and for that reason I prefer to shop at brick and mortar stores whenever possible. That being said, I was shopping for some weather pack connectors for my fog lights last weekend to replace the toasted ones I have. I needed both male and female ends (two each) and all the parts stores in town had either one or the other, but never both. The closest I came was at a Pep Boys that had two female plugs and one male. They said that the computer showed the other male connector in stock, but they couldn't find it in the store. Not helpful. I got home, fired up the computing device and within five minutes had located exactly what I needed on Amazon. Ordered, paid for, and two day delivery, all set up in minutes, and the price was lower than anything local. I'll still visit the parts stores for most things I need, but the interwebs provide a handy option when needed.
