I would make a low offer, stating that it obviously needs new muffler bearings and tire gaskets, and a spark plug coolant flush.

These jokes don't work anymore. Muffler bearings are an actual thing on some rear engine super cars. Can't make fun of a thing that really exists...

Theres also a tire bead sealant similar to RTV gasket maker so... technically one could argue that tire gaskets exist too.

What about blinker fluid? Huh? Explain how that is so hard to find.

Blinker fluid is just saltwater.

Before electricity was invented blinkers were actually bioluminescent fish. So the turn signal housing needed to be kept full of clean saltwater or your blinker fish would die.

Early superchargers used hampsters on methamphetamines...

Failure rates were high.

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.

I make fun of my coworker, Billy.

He really exists.
