Just had my oddest request at the parts store I work at...

Blacked-Out FX4 · Apr 2, 2011

I just had 3 people in the store I work at wearing 1-piece mechanic suits from like junkyard wars come in looking for Outer Tie Rods for a 1995 Leather Couch. :icon_confused:

They are going to drive it in once it's finished. Much to the chagrin of local PD.

Are you anywhere near Englishtown? The swap meet is comming up at the end of the month. You should see some of the stuff people have there. I wouldnt be surprised to see a couch driving around!

There is a guy thats been driving a recliner with a Briggs and Stratton engine around there for years.

They do have wrenches that have a scale on them though. :icon_thumby:

Probably one of the best curveballs you can chuck at a parts guy is a set of points/condenser/spark plugs for a Farmall 450 diesel tractor. :icon_thumby:

He will question, he might even argue... but it is in the book and the machine does have them. :icon_twisted:

I'm resourceful as a parts guy. I don't care if it take me 2 hours to find your $3 seal...I'll be damned if a customer goes to Advanced or Autozone.

The hell with spending 2 hours for a seal, I'll come to you instead of autozone if you'll just ring me the hell up after I've picked out my stuff.

Just had my oddest request at the parts store I work at...
