employee @ advanced auto parts tried to sell me some civic.

[npor]

yeah..so after school, i dropped by advanced to rent a spring compressor.

i'm telling him that i need a spring compressor, blah blah blah

then this comes up
him - yeah, you should just buy one already done with all the stuff
me - *silent*
him -*working on computer* yeah, i'm tryin to get it out of my hair
him - that grey honda out there
me - i drive a silver honda.
him - it's got the jdm motor, lowered, 17"wheels, exhaust intake header, everything!
me - what kind of motor?
him - i don't know, it got in and there wasn't any lables or anything on it
me - hmph.


anyway, he also was playing around alot. told him that i needed a spring compressor. he wasl ike "yeah, you need 2 forms of i.d., a $70 check written out to (some name), $20 cash, and an 8pack"

ugh, just annoyed me. i wanted to rent a spring compressor, and that was it. not have my i.q. drop multiple points.

p.s. the civic looked like complete trash. shitty paint, M3 mirrors, some 17"wheels/tires, lowered, some big tilted exhaust, and a wing.

um.... HELLO!!! You went to Advanced Auto Parts. What did you really expect? Just saying the name of the store drops your I.Q. 5 points. They give you an I.Q. test when your hired, if you pass the test, they fire you. (I used to work for one, I didn't work there long. Couldn't stand the morons working there.)

nah, me and some friends are going to install the springs later tonight.

but yeah, when he gave me the spring compressor (i tought it was going to be more a complex tool than it really was), i was like "this is what i need?" he said "no, but it's what you want"

its like, holy shit guy, stop fucking with me and be serious. i ask a legit question, i'd expect a legit answer. but nope, all i got from him was alot of bullshit. and the thing that sucks, is that ive got to back there tomorrow to return the tool and get my money. ugh. hopefully that moron won't be there.

haha people at autozone are exactly the same. I hate when you just wanna go in and out just to get what you need and leave but they just keep rambling and thinking they're funny and shit then they try to share all their "mechanical tips and tricks" and your just like....SHUT THE FUCK UP!

[Bongo]

^^the ones at the dealerships I personally think are worse. You ask them for a part and they're like umm....where is it located? then you tell them and they put a picture up on the screen with all the parts and they're like is it on this page? I'm like....dude, come on lol this can't be the first time someone's ordered this stuff.

[wed3k]

i think stupidity is fairly common in society nowadays

[k-mart]

that civic sounds pretty phat.

[owequitit]

Try buying swap parts.

It isn't uncommon to have to show them how to find the part in their system!

Luckily, the local autozone here is pretty good, although I buy most of my parts OEM from dealers online.

my buddy works at advance and he drives a MR modded Evo and he knows what he is talking about but i agree alot of ricers with junkyard motor swaps think its jdm and fast

"I need a driver side fender from a 90-93 Accord"
"Um.. what year?"
'90-93"
"What exact year?"
"93"
"Sorry I don't have a '93"
"Umm.. what about a '92"
"No '92"
"Do you have any from 90-93?!"
"I have a '90"
"Well that's why I said 90-93!"

['93accordse]

try going into autozone and have them look up Muffler Bearings for a 93 Honda Accord. i've gotten like 17 employees that way lol

[npor]

WOW.
i'm fucking pissed.

i went to return it, he gave me my money back supposedly $58, and when i get home, I'm $10 short! stupid fuckers!
