Dumbest things you've heard people say about/seen people do to their cars
my friend told me how it annoys him that i have to pull up the e-brake every time I park. He says 'dude your car is so old look at that handbrake, most new cars don't even come with them.' so I said 'yeah but that's because and new cars don't come with manual transmissions either.' so then we park and I yank up the e-brake and he says 'see now what the heck you dont have to do that, you're in park. it isn't going anywhere.'
I'm not sure if he's mentally retarded or blind because I KNOW he saw me shifting gears. damn I need new friends.
It's almost like the time I gave a girl from school a ride home and the whole ride she says 'your car sounds like it's broken. you're just like my dad, he likes to switch between Low and High sometimes too because it says it makes him feel sporty or something i dont understand why anyone would do that....blah blah blah'
I laughed out loud.

So I had to make an emergency purchase at Auto Zone last weekend. I drove an hour and a half to swap wheels and I ended up needing 1 spacer to clear the front struts. I called the local Auto Zone and asked for 4x100 spacers and they said they had some in stock. When I got there they guy that I had talked to on the phone went and grabbed 5x120 spacers.... I told him 4x100 and he was like what? I don't think he knew what I was talking about so I just had him show me where the spacers were and got them my self. And he didn't know how thick they were either. I asked for 5mm and he said they only have american measurements. Gah I hate Auto Zone
This reminded me of an experience at the Subway I worked at years ago.
Me: American, Swiss, or Provolone cheese?
Customer: AMERICAN! Don't want none of that FOREIGN cheese!
I used to work in an indy shop in Reno, NV. One stand out moment was when a younger guy came in obviously very proud of his first BMW, an E30 318i.
Me: Ok, Nice car!
Kid: Thanks, and this super limited edition engine is all-some!!
Me: Umm, what engine do (think) you have in there?
Kid: Its a Zundfolge 1342 engine, very limited edition! Not all 318's came with these!
Me: Oh man, they saw you coming, didnt they?
I still wonder how much more he paid for that Zundfolge motor.
hahaha, i had to look it up, but wow. that's hilarious!
