I lost the cap to the master cylinder in the Mountaineer.  I’m not sure how, but I did.  I noticed it today while I was changing the oil.  That’s no big problem.  We were planning on eating at the Mexican restaurant right next to Auto Zone anyway, so I figured we’d just swing in and grab one.  Well the guy there (very helpful) said they didn’t have one, so I was forced to go to Advance Auto Parts to get what I needed.

Walking out the door of Auto Zone, I was trying to remember why I hated Advance so much.  It has been 12-18 months since I bought anything from them.  I just remembered making a mental note to not return to Advance unless I was forced into it.

I pulled up to the Advance Auto parking lot, walked inside to find a very friendly young man there waiting to help me.  I told him what I needed and he asked what car it was for.  When I said it was for a 2000 Mountaineer, he looked at me, paused for a few seconds and said “Mountaineer…that’s Chevy, right?”

Now I remember…
