speaking of the lope @ idle from the '57 due to the big cam

& my friend with the blown vette was told he had a bad alternator cause of the whining noise that the car was making

I had a 1990 Honda Accord EX back in 1994 and this dumbass asked me one day if it was a "real Honda or a Hyundai"

10/11/2005 4:58:26 AM

aha

10/11/2005 5:09:19 AM

Ohh one more

John doe chevy guy said Damn your car is a good example of the shit ford builds you always have to work on it before you start it up...

this one is about the bird again and honestly is understandable but i have solid lifers in the motor and have to check to make sure everything is where it should be every few times i drive the car. which i regret cause the car is a pig... no matter how much hp it has its still going to be sorta slow. The only way to get around this is to build a new fram for it because 2 parallel I beams with two more making an x between them... is heavy... very very heavy but the car has next to no chassis flex unlike the big block falcon we had that liked to squirt its windshield out.

damn i can ramble on forever

10/11/2005 5:18:20 AM

1. "Got an exhaust leak? I know how to fix that..." - I was running an open manifold at the time

2. "Oh yeah, thats a 2.6L in there, got about 130 HP, blah blather blither...ect." - some asshat telling me all about my car even though he didnt even know wtf it was or what the specs really were...

10/11/2005 5:23:22 AM

you guys have no idea how many times I have been told I have a 442ci engine, or how it cant be a 455 cause the 455s werent made until 1975... just about anything wrong you can imagine about olds motors has been said to me at one time or another. at least once every time I drive the Cutlass someone asks me about "that Chevelle" in the parking lot.

Some guy at a body shop asked told my mom "nice beamer" in regards to her Kia Spectra.


He was completely serious.

10/11/2005 8:31:12 AM

i've gotten the "you need to get that exhaust leak" comment several times...there ain't no leak

10/11/2005 9:28:08 AM

I was at autozone getting the alternator on my rx-7 tested, and the employee asks me "You got a cam in there?"

[Edited on October 11, 2005 at 9:39 AM. Reason : .]

10/11/2005 9:35:05 AM

^wouldnt say thats a dumb comment... more of an ignorant one. Like i wouldnt expect someone to know that my engine doesnt have rockers or something (unless they were some 240sx fanboy etc..)

dumb would be if they started spewing out made-up junk like the black guy and his rotary mustang

I dont really get many dumb comments because I usually only talk about car stuff to people who already kind of know their stuff. Or theyre genuinely interested in learning instead of spouting their own information

10/11/2005 9:56:45 AM

my neighbor saw my new wheels and told me "i like your new hubcaps"

10/11/2005 9:58:29 AM

A friend of my wife was driving our Jetta TDI, and had to refuel. She was on the phone to her husband while putting gas in it, and asked him "Premium is the same as Diesel, right?"

That new knowledge cost them $400.

10/11/2005 10:04:57 AM

I get a lot of "oh nice Triumph" or "nice MG" comments about my Morgan

10/11/2005 10:14:32 AM

Can't think of too many out-and-out dumb comments, just uninformed. Like the people who've assumed that my Lincoln was FWD, or who have referred to one or both Malibus as Caprices.

The more amusing comments were back in high school, though. The '79 Malibu had an oil leak that would drip down onto the exhaust manifold and cause smoke, which would then drift up around the edges of the hood. About twice a week, some well-meaning fellow student would see the smoke, stop me, and tell me my car was on fire.

10/11/2005 10:25:31 AM

^^damn what happened? did she try to start it?

10/11/2005 10:26:18 AM

i dunno, i've had alot. probably the best i can remember off hand is with my truck. some guy comes running across the parking lot after i park, and informs me i have a severe problem with my rear axle because it's making popping/banging noises when i turn.

10/11/2005 10:48:26 AM

oh, i've had the running badly one too with my duster (cam).

10/11/2005 10:49:02 AM

ppl insist my car is super charged because they hear the rear diff whine. when i tell him its my diff and my car is N/A they look at my like i'm lying or something. wtf

10/11/2005 10:52:46 AM

^ i dont think that whine is from the rear diff. mine does it too. something about the o2m trans.

"^^damn what happened? did she try to start it?"

no, her husband told her to stop immediately, and not to start it. This all happened on my wedding day, so i didn't even find out about it until later. Apparently, he and a few other groomsmen went and pushed the car into a parking spot, and later pushed it back to my house (2 blocks away) before ultimately towing it to the dealer to have the tank flushed.

10/11/2005 11:02:53 AM

autozone kid: is that a real R
me: yeah
autozone: ive got your baby brother
me:? ?
autozone: b16 in my crx
me: oh cool.
autozone: ive race your car before and i beat you
me: nah man, i dont race on the streets, maybe the old owner
autozone: nah, it was you, you had those jdm wheels on there
me: those are stock USDM rims
autozone: nah man they are JDM.
me: oh, ok i didnt know (being sarcastic so i can leave)

and another time, same guy at autozone

i came up to the register with a rear wiper for the R and the same kid was like
"dude, you are getting that brand wiper??" and i was like. uhh yeah why. he said "man thats a type R" i dont him its just a rear wiper.

some people are fuckups.

but its ok

10/11/2005 11:11:34 AM

^^^nah, its the haldex. when its engaged, like in autox, its pretty loud. but when i'm just driving around normally and is presumably disengaged its quiet.

10/11/2005 11:15:56 AM

Some guy said to me "man, those wheels are huge, what are they, 20s?"
me: na, they are the stock 18s
guy: no way, i've got 18's and yours are way bigger.
**I look down out of my window and see the wheel covers 1/2 the tire"
me: "nope I have real 18's"

10/11/2005 11:32:11 AM

"IS that diesel?"


no, retard, not all mercedes are diesel.

10/11/2005 11:38:24 AM

While driving the cutlass:"does that have a 442 cubic inch engine?" but my favorite is when your car has a gear drive and everyone tells you that you need power steering fluid

10/11/2005 12:20:00 PM

^lol, yeah... or that you must have a supercharger

10/11/2005 1:10:48 PM

Ohh...

any jeep guys have someone ask where your springs are when you have leaf spring ... thats happend to me and autozone/advanced autoparts people can be retarded... i've had alot of dumb comments from them. They've told me i have a motor that i don't they've told me my jeep was a model it wasn't they told me my front axle is low pinion (standard rotation) when i know its not and i've been told that 1999 cherokees only come in automatics with the 4.0 liter... so apparently that stick next to my leg just tells the auto which gear to go into and that 3rd pedal just allows me to move the other stick

bigblueram... Nice xmls in your gallery may i ask what you are putting them on (are you about to have a huge blue ram)

I've had autozone refuse to give me the right fuel filter for my FFV Ranger because they won't believe it's capable of running on something other than gasoline. even though it says it on their damn computer screen.

10/11/2005 1:30:46 PM

"DUDE THATS A BADASS BODYKIT FOR THE RAV4"

10/11/2005 1:40:40 PM

^haha

I haven't had any really retarded comments. Some dude with a VW (A corrado or something) was walking around my car in a stalker-like manner once at a gas station though. He harassed me the entire time I was at the pump.

"Is that fast?"

"It's quick I guess.........."

etc.

Is that a jeep?
Thats an AMC motor
Nice bronco
Nice jeep
what the fuck is that
