"you should sell that thing, you've been working on it all day for the past 3 days"...

It's my form of relaxation, leave it be!

It's 3.66 here in broomfield co. The first huge gas spike 3-4 years back (whenever it was) I remember paying 5.05 on the Cali/Az border. Ugh, pray to not see that ever again.

I would have said "yes", and gone out to shop for a 3/4 ton diesel and a trailer.

"Why do you need a lift for your 31" tires? My pathfinder's stock tires look bigger than that and I don't have a lift"

And my favorite:
::walk into auto parts store, and tell them, "I need such and such a part for a '99 Jeep Cherokee, 4 wheel drive, 4.0 inline 6." Their response, "Grand Cherokee or regular?" Did I SAY grand at any point?::
I've had that second one happen a lot calling around jy's to see if they have anything I need, but I work in a parts store and have had to ask on more than one occasion "regular cherokee or grand cherokee?" Because the person really is that dumb they don't know, and yes I mean dumb, its written right on your fenders and the rear hatch and you drive it everyday and never bothered to read that? Even when I but parts for other peoples fords I figure out everything I could possibly be asked before I even go to the store.

I tend to get "when you gonna swap in a chevy 350? It fits perfectly" yeah so does my foot in your ***.

In his defense, Jaguar did make the XJ in '97, and it even had the AJ6 straight-6 motor. At least he knew what an XJ was.
