Went to the local autozone yesterday for some front wheel bearings for my expedition. He told me that the car didn't have those bearings (funny, i distinctly remember packing them) and i realized that he was searching for a hub assy. I redirected him to wheel bearings, and then he started telling me that they didn't have the outers when i could clearly see "2 in stock" right there on his screen. We got that straightened out, and then he started asking me if i wanted "inner" or "outer" grease seals.... i still have no idea if i have the correct bearings or not.

Last night i went to wally world to get some spray paint to paint some small items for my daughters car that we are restoring (a 79 TATA) and that started a conversation about trans-ams with the cashier. Seems that he used to date a girl that had one that was built on a corvette chassis......

Went to pep boys some years ago and baffled the parts guy by asking for a "ballast resistor"..... which they didn't have.
