Dumb #1. Quick lube service writer, Where are yer spark plugs???
Dumb #2. Service writer, your spark plug wires are bad, (300SD).
Dumb #3. Hey, mister, you have a bad rod knock, get that junk off the road before it dies, (local police officer).

Can you add any???

Service station attendant. "Hey Mister, that's diesel fuel you're putting in that car!!!"

From my local tire store, who in their defense performs great alignment work:

#1 Your oil is black and needs changing. (Did it two days earlier)

#2 Sir could you come outside for a minute? We can't start your car.

Auto parts store - "Man I sure hope that’s a diesel, or you have some major problems!"

Several gas stations (at least 4)- attendant comes running out "SIR!!! SIR!!!! THATS A DIESEL PUMP!!!" my reply- yes it is.

local "mechanic", took to shop for AC charge - "that thing sounds like it's on its last legs." I promptly left.

I always shut her off on the RARE occasion that I HAVE to eat fast food and use that drive through feature. Probably never anymore with the new interior.
