Well apparently they decided to go into the automotive retail business.

Awesome. I shop Newegg rather than Amazon for a lot of items because Neweggs CEO has come out and said that they'll go to just about any length to beat down patent trolls in court to invalidate those patents. They continue to do it and I'll continue to support them. Plus I've had nothing but good experiences with their customer service.
I'm starting to tire of Jeff Bezos feeding his own ego (see the Bezos patent tree) and Amazon is turning into the patent troll type organization I despise so much. Plus I really hate those Fire phone commercials.
Plus the EBC brakes look to be fairly reasonable on there.
I'd shop there. Done it before.
Rockauto is still doing right by me also. I pretty much don't shop local brick and mortar anymore. Sales staff is too stupid/annoying for my taste.
Looks promising for what I will need for the BJORNAGN project; lots of brake and suspension stuff for low bucks.
Will have to see how the border mucks up the deal.
Based on what Adam Carolla is saying on Carcast, Amazon is helping him a great deal with his patent troll battle.

Not to derail the thread but I'll just leave this here for you to read.

Tl;Dr version: Amazon owns the patent on white background photography. They haven't leveraged it yet though.
Plus they own more ovbious patents like the one click to buy patent which they have leveraged in court.
