    According to him, the billies are special order, and Monroe's are less expensive, and just as good.

    Monroes are OK if you drive on the street 99.9% of the time.

    Monroes are for 10 year old junk economy cars that you don't want to sink any money into (because they're CHEAP)

    No offense, but I personally wouldn't put them on my truck.

    That is a pretty good laugh. Even funnier is how you'll never go back there and he's lost out on the business cause he's a dumbass.
