My mothers 2004 Ford exploder had the check engine light come on and being the indentured servant that I am it was my job to take care of the problem. I told her to bring it to Autozone where they will read the code so I can make repair when I get home. It was a random misfire so the first thing to do is check the plugs and wires.
I pulled the furthest plug from the coil and determined they needed replacement even though I had put top of the Bosch line plugs and wires in maybe 20k miles ago.
So off to Autozone I go and get the new plugs. When I exited the store there was a early to mid 90's beat grand am parked there with the hood up and two of the six people in the car fiddling under the hood. I noticed the front right tire was low and told one of the guys as I pulled away they should get some air for the tire. They gave me a blank stare and a little smile and one of them thanked me in broken english.
I get home and go to pull the wire off the second plug and it had corroded onto the plug which caused the end of the relatively young top of the line wire to loose it's end
. Bosch plugs and Bosch wires which don't seem to protect the connection, nice. Off to Autozone I go again.
I get into the lot and notice two wet floor cones and a large pile of speedy dry in a space right out front. I go in and get the new wires and when returning to the car I said "boy someones had big issues with their car, that kind of leak, I'm surprised they didn't need it towed".
It had been maybe 30 minutes since my last visit. The autozone employee then tells me it wasn't a leak
Someone had drained their oil right there in the parking space. What is wrong with people????
Being a white male and making comment on their inability to speak the language doesn't automatically make me racist.
Don't we learn behavior? But we don't learn anything about some people by observing their behavior, if we do and speak out we are racist
