Now this one I just HAD to reply to! I would have been in fits!!! (or ripped the throat out of the guy across the counter!)

My favorite is when you bring them a part you took off of a stock engine that came with that car (check the VIN buddy!) and they swear that the dead part you brought in doesn't work on your car! Hey "dude", why did it come that way from the factory and last 110,000 miles before it crapped out?!?!

I've actually had a counterperson tell me that the Ford factory screwed up "every now and then" and put on the wrong part.

Makes me lose faith in humanity sometimes!

yea, we had an "experience" with the AutoZoners. One night before the races, we were putting the 302 together, and needed bearings. Went down there, the guy gave us some bearings. Bought them home, wouldnt fit. Turns out they were for a c&*%y small-block. Went back down there, got another set, got home, they were way too big...they were for a big-block caddy. Went back down there, got the 3rd set, got home, they were almost, but not quite right, probably for an oldsmobile or slo-par. On the 4th trip, I looked for an old bearing, got the number off of it, and went back...this time I wasnt so nice. The guy said "that's what I got you the first time."--make a long story short, we finally got it back together...just a few hours before the races.
