I was in Auto Zone today.  An older guy (my age) was there who I've been meaning to thank.  Several months ago he was looking for a part for me, and saw it was in their other store on the N. side of town, and he drove there to bring it back.  Pretty unusual.  I thanked him for his special effort.  Usually you cant even get eye contact in the place.

Well, he started talking about his many past projects in general, then got to a '57 Ranchero that might be had.  I said it likely would have a 292 or 312.  "No, it probably is a 352.  You know they were a special order item in the '57s".  No comment, end of conversation.
