Gugny Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Figuratively speaking, of course. It's fairly well known that I drive a muscle car. To be specific, I drive a 2015 Nissan Versa Note. It rocks 109 horsepower. Watch out. I bought new wiper blades on Saturday. Brought them home and got the driver's side one on with little issue. I mistakenly snapped the wrong adapter into the passenger side one and could not get it out. I put it aside. After having to remove the entire wiper arm from the car, I finally got the rear wiper changed. Went to Auto Zone to try and exchange the passenger side. Dude behind the counter was able to get the incorrect adapter out and snap the correct one in. It was raining fairly heavily, but I told the guy I wanted to make sure it would go on. So I ran out, popped the old one off (again) and could NOT, for the life of me, get the goddamn new one on. I go back in and say I'm really sorry, but I can't get the damn thing on. Woman behind the counter comes out and takes the wiper blade from me (not rudely) and says, "this is for the rear window, right?" I said, "no ... passenger side." She laughs and says, "Ha! What kind of car do you drive? It must be tiny!!" She proceeds to get her coat, give me a dirty look whilst donning it, then goes out and puts the wiper blade on in less than 3 seconds. I went back inside to discard the old wiper blade and made sure to thank her, again, before I left, to which I got a, "yeah, no problem," along with a look that told me she was clearly perturbed. But to be honest ... I can't blame her one bit! 1 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I recently went to Autozone to purchase a new battery. Not only did the gentleman install it for free (I threw him a saw buck afterward), he gave me a nice shoulder massage before closing the hood and sending me on my way.

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 My wife knows more about cars than I do. Mostly growing up with a dad who's obsessed with cars. I don't see any shame in it, honestly. I know how to jump a battery, change a tire, check my oil. That's about it. Her and her dad went to see Ford vs. Ferrarri. I went to see Rambo at the dollar theater next door. They both told me I'd be bored out of my mind for 90% of it. Weird thing is, I'm not that into video games but I love car racing games. But don't care much for the ones that you have to build your own car. I just want to race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how to get the wrong adapter off. He was probably so paranoid about breaking the damn thing (hence on hook for the money), might as well have them do it. Can't say I really blame him. But really... Throw in a WAF moto-head smear campaign. If it goes on one way, has to come off same way... Oh yeah, look for little locking tabs, etc... Please...

I'm not on the look out for a woman but if I were there are some attractive women working at auto parts stores. They drive full sized extended cab pickups and no doubt know how to tail gate. They are probably pretty good with a chamois cloth as well and would fight you to cut the lawn with your new John Deere mower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
