I ended up being between all the heavy and severe stuff... Tucker's area was closer to the nasty stuff...

Yes, Autozone in Cedar Rapids. We are the volume store... we keep hopping most of the time. There are times every computer and register are busy. We have 5 computer terminals and 3 registers. We can also do checkout with credit card/debit cards at the computer terminals... it is common to have $8000 sales for the day on a Friday or Saturday.

There is 3 in the Cedar Rapids area, we are the volume store, the one on the east side has the attitude problems that may be getting a little bit resolved with a manager change, then the other one just doesn't seem to get the traffic, even though they are in a good place of sorts.

Of course, we are the oldest store too, so that always helps...

I made my own hamburgers with a George Foreman grill knockoff...

The Neon I have been working on for seems like forever fired up for me quite nicely. Trans seems to be ok as well, maybe I can put the little POS on the road yet. Didn't fare as well on my 86 diesel, the timing is dead on, so on to other possibilities for why it is totally gutless ... not normally in it's nature.
