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.
