A few days ago I was having some work done at my local garage. A blonde came in and asked for a seven-hundred-ten. We all looked at each other and another customer asked, "What is a seven-hundred-ten?" She replied, "You know, the little piece in the middle of the engine, I have lost it and need a new one.." She replied that she did not know exactly what it was, but this piece had always been t here. The mechanic gave her a piece of paper and a pen and asked her to draw what the piece looked like. She drew a circle and in the middle of it wrote 710. He then took her over to another car which had its hood up and asked "is there a 710 on this car?" She pointed and said, "Of course, its right there." If you're not sure what a 710 is Click Here > http://www.hotautoweb.com/cogifs/710.jpg
Sad admission: I once - many years ago - walked into a tire store to buy the biggest rear tires I could find to put on my hopped up Chevy truck (rading style - not mudding style). I looked around, and asked for a pair of the "SL-097" tires. Bonus points to first one to figure this out.
You homos in the eq have a lifetime supply of it, you know what it's for!!! hahhahahhahaaaaaaaaa :supergay: hahahhahhahhaha :bag:
I was just gonna ask whether or not this is a comprable problem to what Chris see's when he looks at red... ... but the fool beat me to it!
Close. Old bias ply tires were sold in sizes with letters like M, N, or....L. The tires were stamped "L60-15" and I didn't know anything about tire sizes, but they were huge, and I needed a 15" tire. So I read the sidewall, which upside down was an sl-097. The font, when looked at was pretty darn convincing that these L60-15 tires were really SL-097's. So for years we made fun of my tires and called them SL-097's.
Hahhahahaa! I just figured since oil was upside down so was this. Good old bias ply tires eh, don't miss those days. Tire tech has really improved since then, haliluha!!
