My favorite has to be a prank an old timer mechanic pulled on a salesman when I was 18/19 working at a Dodge dealer. I think it was on a Jeep Grand Cherokee. You filled the rear washer fluid near the rear tail light. He asked the salesman to watch the tail light and let him know when it was full. After a minute he finally figured it out and told him to go #@#@ himself. We all laughed our asses off.

radial wheels. Those bias-ply wheels are just too dangerous these days.

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?

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.
