Re: Another parts store funny.

20 years ago when I started out in the auto parts buisness I had a customer come into my work (GRAND AUTO SUPPLY) and ask for a water pump for a 1967 Monte Carlo.....
Now I was only 24 at the time but I could swear that the Mone Carlo didn't come out until 1970...... Then he let the cat out of the bag....It was a 1967 VOLVO MONTE CARLO!!!

Another time I was walking back inside from helping install some wiper blades and a customer asked if I had belts for his 1984 Pontiac Fiero. "I'm sure we do, what engine size you have in it?" Thinking a 4 banger or a 2.8L V6.....
His reply"383 small block. I about tripped and did a faceplant!!! LOL But I found the belts he needed and while cashing him out I asked "how fast would that thing go?"
"dunno but I made it from Willow to Anchorage (65miles) one night in about 20 minutes.
