Fake Car Parts and Practical Jokes – How To Make Fun of People Who Don’t Know Cars
Looking for an Adjustable Powerband? Or is your Blinker Fluid getting a little low? Never fear – KaleCoAuto is there to translate all of the automotive jargon that has filled your head over the years into nonsense products that are virtually guaranteed to confuse, frustrate and amuse gearheads.
