I have had times where the men in the shops think I don't know what I'm talking about. I grew up with my father and brother always working on vehicles so I know a little bit about them. Heck I even work on my own vehicle .... but have become lazy the last couple of years since my boyfriend will do it for me.
I went to an auto parts place several weeks ago and was needing a particular after market performance part for my car. I told the guy exactly what I needed and he proceeded to tell me that such a part was not available for my vehicle. I told him it was and he continued to argue with me .... I finally said "it most certainly is available because I have one on my car now". I wished I'd had a camera, his face was priceless.
