Hee hee. I've got a better story than that.. This happened at the Advance
Auto Parts here before they got new managment and got guy in there that knew
what they were talking about. I blowed the tailshaft on my transmission and
I was going to see if I couldn't buy a new tranny and forget about it, I was
willing to go with a Borg Warner, as long as it would fit, so here is my
story. I had my friends along with me this day, they had to give me a lift
anyway :)
Me: I need a Muncie 4 speed or a Borg Warner for a 66 Chevelle; just about
any GM 4 speed will work, as long as it is for a 69 block.
Dork (asst. manager at that looked like a rat): Ok lets see
here.............. I don't see it on the computer let me check the book. Is
it a Turbo 350?
Me: No, I have a Muncie M22 4 speed, thats an automatic.
Dork: Ok how about a TH 350?
Me: No, thats also an automatic, I have a Muncie.
Dork: A Turbo 400?
Me (patiently, but beginning to loose my cool): No, another automatic, I
need a 4 speed.
Dork: A TH400?
Me: No, automatic.
Dork: AHA! A Powerglide, thats it isn't it?
Me (thats it, this moron messed with the wrong guy on the wrong day): NO,
NO, NO, I want a 4 speed.. You know a stick, a manual, a gear grinder
whatever the Hell you call it you Jackass! In a Manual (I stressed manual)
car you have instead of 2 pedels you have three, and its not an emergency
brake!!! When you have one of these you have to push in the far left big
pedel to cahnge your gears, in my case I go 1,2,3,4 to go forward and all
the way over to the left and up to get to reverse!! I DO NOT HAVE A GD
AUTOMATIC!! All the transmissions you have just named are AUTOMATICS,
prabably like whatever POS you drive, do you now understand what I am
talking about?
Moron: Oh, we don't carry those, we can get one for a Mustang though.
Me: FU!!!! (then I stormed out with my giggling best buds right behind)
That right there made me not step a foot back in the place until one of my
friends got a job there and I knew he knew what he was talking about, not to
mention he would give me his employee discount on the more expensive stuff.
