- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

You have to ask the counter guy. They're next to the muffler bearings and blinker fluid.
Chemlight batteries, too.
Left handed wrenches.
It’s a weird aisle.
I used to work in auto parts at car dealers. My favorite thing was when a parts driver got to try their hand at working the shop side counter, and the mechanics would haze the shit out of them.
"I need a valve cover gasket for a 93 RX-7. Hurry!"
This is mostly unrelated to what your saying but the rx-7 valve cover gasket made me laugh. It also reminded me, at my first job I got a ride home one time with one of women I worked with and she had a Dodge Stealth, which was pretty bitchin' at the time, so I'm gushing about how this Stealth is way cooler than anything any of our coworkers drivers and she starts telling a story about her first car an FB RX-7 from like 82 I think. I should have married that girl...
I'm sure that punchline is funny to those who know cars. But I know about as much about car mechanics as I about linux.
That is to say I probably would have fallen for the blinker fluid trick, if I hadn't seen it on youtube.
RX-7s have rotary engines.
