A word in defense of JC Whitney:
All that hokey stuff is there, of course, but they also carry a lot of
regular, useful items, including MG parts and accessories. Not that I would
use them for that as opposed to the specialists (since I couldn't rely on
them for support, if nothing else), but a lot of things they carry are
regular brand-name items (like Addco sway bars, or Monroe shocks), and they
often list older cars which your local parts store doesn't know anything
about. So it's not all junk, although lately it's more and more dominated by
SUV accessories.
