Default Funniest auto part you have seen asked for?
Most of us have heard it or of it, what is the funniest auto part or service you have ever heard of?

Blinker Fluid
muffler bearing
kanuter valve

in the air force I heard:

50ft of flight line
the Keys to the airplane
bucket of prop wash

As a car audio installer, we would have the new guy call our other store to get back our 6x9 hole saw, but only if we gave back our wire stretcher.

Lets hear them?

Tim

Try calling and asking for a right rear door handle for a 90 crx or water pump for a 62 VW bug Those are fun pranks.

I'm not pulling any pranks, but the guys at AutoZone look at me like I am when I ask to use their OBD engine diagnostics on a '69 Chevelle.

I get that too, pretty funny especially when you hook it up. They probably think you (or I) am smoking crack or something until you open the hood.

One of the guys at work here used to send new mechanics over to the pilot's quarters to ask for a new stick actuator...

When I worked in a parts store I would call my guys and ask for either disc brake pads for a 1983 Vette or an air filter for a 1953 Chevy.
