RAY: A few months ago, we needed a part called a MAP sensor for a customer's Toyota Celica. It's a fairly expensive part, so I wanted to check with the customer before ordering one. I called him five or six times, and there was no answer. I realized he had probably given me his home number, and he was at work.
Finally, late in the day he calls and asks, "Is my car done?" I say, "No, it's not done." I explained that he needs this expensive part. And he tells me to go ahead and order it.
I call the dealer. The phone rings and rings and rings, and I look and I notice it's 5:01 pm. All the dealerships are closed! After five minutes of moaning and groaning, I had an inspiration. And the next morning, I had my part.
How did I do it?

On the last vacation. I couldn't remember which road I needed to turn down to get to Broadway at the Beach. I was driving, couldn't look at the map on the phone and had to use voice commands.
Problem with it, it took me behind where I needed to be. And about 10 minutes out of the way.
I should have pulled over to look at the map. Would have saved time and gas.
I will from now on.

RAY: I made a call to my good pals at Toyota of Palo Alto. There, it was 2:06. And I said, “You guys have a MAP sensor? They said “No, but the warehouse does, we'll UPS it to you.” So who's our winner? TOM: The winner is Kathleen Sullivan from La Plata, Maryland. Congratulations!
