After surveying some female customers I learned that many people are confused to hell over vehicle specifications and terms, so I got together with two of my Toyota employees (Chad was one) and tried to come up with a few solutions to help people out.

The first solution was putting together a glossary of automotive terms (car dictionary): http://www.cfmc.net/TRAC/Glossary.htm, and we're still working on the others - BUT - we hope you all enjoy it and can use it from time to time. Murphy's Laws are my favorite.





No, I didn't define everything - I'm not that knowledgeable. Our OEM's and a few other sites helped

 

I can only imagine the amount of time you and your mates put into that. Excellent work!

 

i have never seen murphy's law happen so much as in the car business

it's a dead day, no one coming in. i go out to get some coffee and while i'm gone a customer comes in, etc, etc, etc

 

You're missing a couple terms

Blinker Fluid
Muffler Bearing
Johnson Rod
Flux Capacitor
710 Cap

 

spitzer valve....

 

can of compression....


I was told by a mechanic one day, at Checkered Flag, working on my TR6, that the problem was that I needed a new can of compression and the engine would run just fine. Before I even thought what he had said, I responded, where can I pick up some of that? He and about 4 other dudes were rolling on the floor. I have NEVER been had that bad in my life.. I was OWNED.

 

Loose nut behind the wheel.....Canoodler valve.......yeah, I missed a few.
