"I'm sorry. I don't have a car. Can you look up a phone number for me in Tampa, Florida?"

Now, it took me a minute to figure out why having a car would have ANYTHING to do with looking up a phone number in Tampa. But, I'm guessing he meant that because he didn't have a car, he couldn't get down here to look it up himself. I'm hoping that's what he meant. If that isn't what he meant then I have absolutely no idea what he was talking about.
