Moment to shoutout RockAuto for their impeccable website coding (sh.itjust.works)

Somehow, they have only gotten better over the years. Clean, simple layout. Clear concise descriptions and photos, color coded for pricing options. Search works INSTANTLY perfect every time. literally type in 99 camry rear brake shoes BOOM you're on the listing. That's big in today's world where search is complete shit.

Every time I visit their site I'm so happy it works. Then I'm angry how the rest of the internet has been enshittified to hell.

Keep it up Rockauto!!

*Runner up: craigslist. site works perfect, no reason to change.

The brilliance of the McMaster-Carr website is best appreciated when viewed alongside the print version of the McMaster-Carr catalog. As a child, I literally grew up on that bright yellow book, since my parents used it as my booster seat for the kitchen table. It is a thick tome, second only to the thinner Grainger catalog, which became the next booster seat after a few years.
