For someone who drives a 'snob' brand to begin with, shaming those of us who bought name brand parts seems really lame. My starter was $150 or so (rebuilt, lifetime) but since my old WP had been scraping the sides of it's recess the impeller fits into, I went composite and Porsche water pump.

Tires and shocks from K-Mart? Only the cheapest gas?
