I was in my local automotive store the other day, and I see they have a brand new employee. This poor guy loks like a computer geek and definitely does not look like a car guy. (Ok, I'm ready for the flames.. I know, I know, never judge a book by it's cover...)

I just wanted to go have some fun and see if he could find me a set of 9mm plug wires for the Z.

Anyone else ever messed with their local auto shop?

 

I harass those guys that sell aftmkt parts in the mall. lol I ask for all top quality stuff instead of their apc, tenzo rims...

 

Call one and tell them you are looking for a thermostat for a 1973 aircooled VW beetle. See how long they look for one.

 

not the auto parts guy, but after i installed my ud pullies, i started it up in the cold one morning. i got a loud squeal for a couple seconds! my wife asked me what it was, and i told her the timing must be off on my muffler belt!! and her responce.........then why is it coming from the front like that? shouldnt it be coming from the back??? i just got a blank look on my face. i couldnt even answer her!?

 

 

OWNED!

 

atleast she knew where the muffler was.

 

i used to have a good time talkin to the guys at jiffy lube; i haven't gone there since i bought my z though. the one was sayin the evo is cool, it's twin-turbo (not twin-scroll), but it's still just a lancer. all the while he's talkin up his debadged cavalier, sayin u can't even tell it's a cavalier, man. until this day i'm still tryin to get those 5 minutes of my life back.
