I hate stupid people that try to talk about cars.

Oh, you're one of those dickheads, huh? There's nothing I loved more than dealing with customers that would make me ask them 500 questions because they were just too awesome to tell me what the hell their cobbled together pile of shit needed.

lmfao

that was usually after I walked in and asked for a specific part number, douche.

Yes!!! ^^^^ Exactly
It's a 46 ford with and 88 chevy 350 and a 79 Camaro trans, Oldsmobile rear end and a dodge driveshaft. I need a set of rear brake shoes for it.

I always ask for the part that the car came off of. It makes everything easier when I tell people I need plug wires for a 1997 Kia Sephia 1.8L DOHC motor instead of regaling them with the tale of how I built the car. Sometimes they ask (when they see the Festiva outside) if it's been motor swapped, but those are few and far between.

Get out of here with that common sense. Don't you know that everyone in the world wants to hear your cars life story, while 8 people wait behind you to be helped?

Me:"I need a XXX" 6 rib belt."
Employee:"What vehicle does it go on?"
Me:"Not sure, it's a blower setup for my F-150."
Employee:"What year?"
Me:"04 New Body style."
Employee:"Those aren't listed to have blowers on them, you mean the heritage model? You must have a lightning!"
Me:"No it's an aftermarket blower with a custom pulley, I need a XXX" 6rib belt."
Employee:"Well the computer says you need a XX" belt."

What, because you assumed that I didnt I'm the asshole? Fuck off.

Now it's my job to read your mind and determine all the missing details from every post you make? You fuck off, asshole!

It was really fun trying to find a u-joint for a 95 Camaro with a 9" and a powerglide.

What engine? Oh it's from a 2002 Escalade.

Kindly take that chip off your shoulder, and calm the fuck down.

Don't you tell me to calm down! I'm perfectly fucking calm!!!!!!

Him: "Last time I played craps I bet a grand on the yo-eleven, and it hit 3 times in a row, I just kept pressing my bet, even the pit boss gave me props." (doing the math that would have been somewhere around $40 million dollars)

Then he leaves and I see him get into his 15 year-old GMC truck.

Yo pays 15 to 1. Starting with $1k, hitting three in a row, parlaying each time, should result in $3.84MM. Assuming you take the bet down after the third hit. (Correction - adding the bet back in leaves you at $4.096MM)

Many casino's will not even take the second bet ($16k), let alone the third ($256K).

I've parlayed a winning $1 Yo, and hit a second. Quick $240.

I have this same problem when I needed to replace mine, it has a Novi 2200, It helps a lot that my ol lady is the manager at Advance Auto. I just go measure it myself and get what I need. Just to keep from doing that, I keep the box in the glovebox with the part # on it.

But my all time favorite stuff is Farm tractor and trailer bearings and seals. Pain in the ass.

Rarely do you find a guy that can measure and manually look up a part. I've gotten interesting looks by bringing in just a bearing from an idler pulley.

I got told more than once that my Cobra was a GT with everything Cobra on it so it just looked like one.

Another favorite after racing someone was explaining that it was stock motor and that gears and suspension can make up for a lot.
