"IT'S ALL HAPPENING AT THE ZONE"

Back in the '90's, MTV got a new Auto Zone store located on the main drag. It was popular. Why I'm not sure. There always seemed to be high school cars in the lot, especially on weekends.

Once a high schooler himself, Mike S. Hicks was in a car with a young lady driver and other teens when she noticed her blinkers were not working. Being the industrious young lady, and wanting to take pride in it being her car, not her parents', she wanted to handle it herself.

Mike, being the helpful kind of guy he was, suggested she go to Auto Zone. There she could purchase blinker fluid.

She approaches the sales clerk and asks for blinker fluid.

"What do you want?" he asks incredulously.

"Blinker fluid. My blinkers quit working."

Repressing a smile, he yells to the back for the stock boy," She needs some blinker fluid."

Silence. "Right or left?" he responds, a little too proud of his retort.

"And there's no such thing as blinker fluid: I see," the driver reacts and stomps out of the store.

I never heard the end of the story. I'm assuming she gave Mike a ride. And a hard time.
