4 hen's teeth, impossible to find Lucas L833 NADA signal lamps for my old Land Rover. Only used in the US (and maybe ANZ) for two or three years before LR left the US market for a while. It's the little things folks, but only original is original!
Also a 1975 Blaupunkt Frankfurt am/fm cassette player for my BMW 2002...see above.

New flex pipe for the Trax. They fail all the time on these cars.
4 rolls of Scott blue shop towels and a 6pk of Little Trees for free at AAP (perks bucks). These goodies will reside in F350 hy-rail at work.
2qt RedLine 75w85 for the upcoming rear diff service on my Stinger GT2.
NOCO Genius 5 to replace my ancient Sears-branded battery charger from the mid 80s.
EDIT: forgot to list some small plastic underbody pieces that were damaged from driving thru last weekends ice storm here in NC. Ordered Genuine VW replacements from FCP last night for $39 shipped!

Some winter washer fluid at Rural King. Some simple green for the dash and door panels. And a back up bulb
Back brake hardware for my CR-V. I cleaned and lubed the front brakes and flushed the brake fluid using Bosch ES16, last fall. But did not get a chance to clean and lube the back brakes and parking brakes. The place I am taking it to for inspection next month specializes in brake work and exhaust work. So I figured while they have it apart for the inspection I might as well pay them a little extra to clean and Lube everything and use the new hardware that I supply for brake shoe clip springs and slide pin boots if needed.
If I did that job myself I would take the time to clean the brake shoe clip springs and lube and reuse them, like I did for the front. But the cost of there time to clean those parts well is greater than the cost of new parts.

Raybestos Element3 pads for a 2013 Legacy. I might be ordering calipers and rotors, TBD when I pull it apart. This is a no rush job, I'm waiting for a warmer day. AMZN had the best price at the time, sorry Rock Auto.
Oil pressure sensor switch for my moms 1999 Buick LeSabre 3.8. It was leaking like crazy when I took her to the store and the oil pressure light came on. I lost about 2 1/2 quarts of oil before I notices the leak. First the oil light came on and I checked the oil and it was full. I drove the car about 5 miles and it started to leak really bad. I didn't install the sensor but it's fixed now. The local mechanic repaired it for her right away. It was lucky that I was driving the car when it happened. Had she been driving it she probably wouldn't notice the difference.
I bought a set of Vredestein Quatrac Pro tires from Tire Rack for my '13 Sienna. Never used this brand before; can't wait to get them mounted and see how they are. I also bought a new rear wiper arm for the Escalade (Genuine GM part from Rockauto). The arm has a metal bushing that goes over the motor shaft, and the bushing corroded and basically rust-jacked and broke the plastic arm.
Wix oil filter for the Camaro. 
Do you know what size bulbs the cluster needs? I used t5 74 from a car place and they are really dim even turned all the way up
