You ever make buying decicions based on how a web site looks?  I'm considering buying a new transmission for my beetle from either this company, which specializes in and rebuilds VW transmissions or this one, which could be getting their stock from anywhere.  The place with a bad web site is $70 less and may have a marginally better product.  In spite of this, I'm really close to ordering from the other place.  Even though the site isn't that hot, at least their order form works (...in Firefox or IE).  Someone please talk some sense into me.

--use the barber shop principle.
Also, I would do this if I had a horse, too.

I think the great thing about that story is that the Germans don't seem to care about they guy sleeping in the bank.  He's just a sucker for getting caught.

Things are a little easier now.  The bad web site is now $30 less, given the fact that I'll probably get $0 for my core charge (when I return my broken transmission, which they probably can't rebuild).  The better web site has a smaller core charge and is less likely to know what they're looking at.  Additionally, I've dealt with them in the past.  So, for those reasons, I'm sticking with the better web site.

best part about the story is that sleeping in a bank lobby is no big deal -- the only problem is the horse.
