What auto parts store had the brake hose?

everyone I called had one. (napa, autozone, carquest, advance, O'rielly, Pepboys, checker, federated, rock auto) all had it. I got the cheapest because I have no money.

Looks like someone never saw 'back to the future'

It was the device in the Delorean which allowed time travel.
