AUTOZONE, They have 914 parts? Options

[Mike's2nd914]

I was at autozone.com checking on some parts for my F150 and just out of curiosity, I registered my 914 and started looking for parts. I am amazed at how many parts they have for the teener! I would have never thought they would have stuff for this car. I know some of their stuff is of questionable quality, but for some stuff, its all the same and they are cheap!

During an autox my 2.0's starter stayed engaged
while a friend was driving the car. The flywheel ring gear spun up the starter until the windings centrifuged into the housing, then the ring gear shaved off the starter gears. The ring gears on the flywheel were ok. It was quite a catastrophic failure. Anyway, I brought it in to the electric shop I always use to rebuild my stuff and he laughed, said NO WAY, use it as a doorstop. Well I used it as a core at PEP boys for a lifetime warranty starter. They had it in stock and it was under 50 bucks. Ther was an article in Panorama about a guy that bought 928 (I think it was an alternator) parts there too. Who does there buying??
