When he came into the store he looked normal. But looks can be deceiving. He was young, maybe 17, and he wanted his car to have a little more sound. Ford Maverick six cylinder.
"What you need," I said, "is a Thrush Muffler! It'll make that engine really sing!"
One week later he returned. I could see the outline of our sales slip in his white shirt pocket.
"Excuse me, sir" He stammered, "I don't know if you remember me?"
But I did.
"I was here about a week ago because I wanted to make my car louder and you sold me a Thrush Muffler. But the sound has not changed."
"Oh, give it some time," I replied, "Once the fiberglass gets burnt in a little it will get plenty loud!"
Two weeks later he was back again. Same shirt with the sales slip in the pocket.
Same line: "I don't know if you remember me...."
Is it possible that he installed it incorrectly? How could you do that? It can be mounted in either direction. So I went to take a look under the car and what I saw amazed me.
He had it installed right. RIGHT BEHIND THE STOCK MUFFLER!
Yes, it was my fault I guess, for not telling him that he needed to remove the stock muffler and replace it with this one.
Truth is stranger than fiction.
Hit me up with a comment.
