And she wonders why her dad is upset...

http://www.orlandosentinel.com/classifi ... -headlines

Q: I am writing you at my dad's request. Recently, my boyfriend offered to change the oil in my car for me. I have a 1992 Olds 88 in very good condition (180,000 miles). Up until now, my dad has maintained it. My boyfriend charged me $45 for parts and nothing for the work. He said most of the cost was to refill the fluid levels in the headlights. When I informed my dad of this, he called me an idiot and told me not to see this boy ever again. When I asked why, he said to write to you guys. I don't understand. My boyfriend said he used the "halogen" type fluid, which is supposed to be better than the standard type. What did I do wrong? Melissa

Tom: Gee, I don't know, Melissa. My brother tops off my headlight fluid all the time, and he usually charges me more than that.

Ray: Actually, there are two possibilities here, Melissa. One is that you misunderstood what your boyfriend said. Perhaps instead of saying he replaced the "fluid levels in the headlights," he actually said he took care of the "fluid levels AND the headlights." That would be perfectly reasonable.

Tom: Yeah. You can get halogen bulbs for that car; they cost about $50 for a pair. Add that to the oil and filter, and your boyfriend's actually losing money on the deal. Or getting you very good prices.

Ray: The other possibility is that he's a criminal, and you should dump him and never speak to him again. Headlights don't require any fluid. And if he's willing to lie to you for $45, imagine what he'll do if he ever gets within sniffing distance of your bank account.

Tom: So, ask him again what he did to your car. Tell him you're not sure you heard correctly. If he says "fluids and headlights," give him a big kiss and thank him for being such a good boyfriend.

Ray: If he says "fluid IN the headlights," or tries to get another $45 out of you to put red fluid in the taillights, dump some itching powder in his undershorts and don't look back, Melissa.

HAHA

Every so often when I need some entertainment I call up one of the local parts shops and ask for things like that.

ME: "Can I get a thermostat for a 67 Volkswagon Super Beetle?"

StoreFlunky: "Sure thing sir, let me look that up in our system... I don't see it listed, that's funny it should be in here."

ME: "Must just be a glitch, I can check back later for that, how about a water pump?"

StoreFlunky: "Not finding that either!"

ME: "Don't worry about it then, there are a couple other things I need though, could you tell me what your price on Prestone Blinker Fluid is, I'm almost out, oh yeah and what do your muffler bearings run?"

StoreFlunky: "Uh, wait a minute, aren't VW's air cooled?"

ME: "MUHHHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA....<click>"

Yeah, i've needed a new flux capacitor for my 82 Delorean, I need some primer too, and some carburator air....

Just remember, always get the Prestone blinker fluid, I always get about 10% more BPG (blinks per gallon) running it than I do any other brand. Oh and Bosch Platinum flux capacitors are the best, none of that split-fire,cross fire, +2 +4 BS.

800, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that is soooooo great, im gonna have to try that monday, oh man, i couldnt stop laphin for like 10 min! lol!

i was looking at the hollow plug wires myself...

yea, go with the hollow plug wires... i picked up a good 20-30HP with them. The red prestone blinker fluid is the best. At 2 million bucks an ounce its a little pricy but worth it.

A buddy of mine back in high school was talking about a new eng. for his Duster. He said he wanted to go with the long block rather than the short block but had to make sure it would fit first.
