You cannot start a conversation with anyone in the automotive service / parts world without following a very very very strict speech pattern.  Any deviation will result in starting over from the very beginning.  Its like dealing with The Soup Nazi without the verbal abuse.  For example:

Michael: lol

welll…
jesus

Curt: re:?
Michael: Belle Tire
im talking to this counter jockey
yeah – hi i need the price / availablity of a 15″ x 6″ 5×100 steel wheel
….
what does it go on?
what? what does that matter?
Well… i need to know
why?
because when i call the supplier – i just tell them i need a wheel for a neon, civic, etc….
But.. no.. I don’t have OEM wheels – I need this specific wheel!
….
….
What car does this go on ?
<sigh>
