It was half off day at the pick'n pull. Man, that place is ghetto. I picked up some EDIS parts from a Ford Escort and could have gotten a better deal buying off ebay. The lady working the front gate was hollaring at everyone and accussing them of stealing (one guy actually tried to make off with a Flowmaster under his shirt) and she scribbled some kind of ethnic slur on my Ignitor when she was checking my receipt. I think she thought I was Persian cus I remember my persian friends in high school used to call each other "Kuni" all the time. I think that's one of those catchall terms, kind of like Aloha. Anyhow, thats what my part says on it now in blue pen. I fear the persian guys at the drag strip my call my 2002 the "kuni mobile". I wasn't going to say anything cus the lady had a chin like Rocky Balboa but she was pale and had long blonde hair.
