Probably one of the oddest ones I’ve ever gotten was written on a repair order once and I was left to try and decipher it all out. It stated: “Car will not start when driven as far as Dallas”. Since this was OK City and Big D is 200 miles away I had to ask the service writer for some interpretation and that was an exercise in futility also. ---

In the early 80’s I remember a guy coming into our shop and said guy: " I needs one of those under the counter things". After several minutes of ciphering, cross examination and painful expressions it turns out he needed a catalytic converter. ---
