I think for Chinese food I’ve narrowed it down to mott and QJ. Mott (to me) has a more appetizing menu where as QJ has the Michelin star factor. I don’t care about the stars and awards but they might.

I’m steering away from traditional Chinese food because the majority of them, including my parents ate traditional Chinese their whole lives. It would be nice introduce them to modern twist on Chinese fine dinning. I don’t think they’ll ever go seek out it out themselves.

At the risk of sounding like I have my head stuck in the sand...
Did the percentage just go up or did it include new things like car parts?



I don't know how reliable that is. I've bought things online from the US and have been surprised before.

How is rock auto ever worth it? If you’re not ordering weight?

When I was looking for pads and rotors it ended up being like 150% of lordco prices? Presumably due to the weight of the rotors?

Rockauto is worth it if you're not ordering heavy stuff to Canada. Filters, hard to source parts, etc are cheaper than Lordco/NAPA by at least 30-50%

Brakes and rotors are also a lot cheaper than locally for certain cars, and if you ship to Bellingham/Pt Roberts, it's not that expensive.

I tried the $88 lunch special for 2 and cannot say enough good things about it but then, maybe cuz I'm whitev70r

Wow

That's racist but not racist.

But you probably buy pleb Raybestos shit!

When you changing your username to white4ever

For the same brand/model of parts? Even with shipping for heavy parts I can get better brand names for cheaper from RockAuto than I can at the local stores. The only time they're cheaper is if it's some shit brand I've never heard of.

thanks guys!
decided on day 1: QJ for lunch then boulevard for dinner. day 2: not sure where for lunch then mott for dinner.

I’ve never paid probably half of what lordco is asking from rockauto. That said I don’t think I’ve ever gotten anything heavy from them. But for everything I have gotten, literally half price of lordco, and often for a better brand choice.

For rotors and heavier items, probably best to get them from Canadian suppliers, like Autopartsway, that offer free shipping over a certain amount.

Rockauto for virtually anything else if you're trying to stick within a budget. Just watch the shipping costs and try to select parts that ship from one warehouse.

Yea never really looked at them before outside of brakes, and the costs didn’t make sense even for the cheapo rotors etc.

My one experience at Mott32 was decent. Everything was good. Not amazing, but good. The peking duck (order it 24 hrs in advance) was carved tableside, so a bit of a show.

It was just expensive. Very expensive.

I dont know if Chinese are like Indian parents, but if I took my parents there, no matter how good it is, they'd focus entirely on how much it cost relative to the value received, thus would judge it accordingly, haha.

Don't listen to any other recommendations, Elisa all day.

They are by far the best steakhouse in the city.

And think that they can make that Peking duck for like $30 vs. $250 at Mott32, wraps from scratch, cucumber and onions from their garden.

You are the most Asian white dude I've ever seen.

Lordco wanted $180 for brake pads for my 1993 Plymouth Voyager 5 speed...

RockAuto?

$10 + $17 shipping.

Petition to change name to yellowA3phev?

White, you dating/married an Asian gal?

Who's the whitest Asian dude here? bcrdukes?

Married to Asian, breathe the Asian air, drink the Asian coolaid.

i think the most asian white dude would def be skinny

Maybe I’m uncultured but I thought Elisa was the same quality as boulevard? I did like their sides though. I only get ribeye though not any of the specialized waygu whatever.
