This is my favorite thread so far. It doesn't seem to be the content of what people say that's so stupid, (albeit, it is) its the confidence with which they say it.

It's okay to not know about cars, just don't be so sure of yourself and make an ass of yourself.

That said, I've done that.

this is the golden rule.


as soon as i got into learning about cars and trying to work on them, anyone i asked questions/gained knowledge from i told them flat out if i did not know what the hell they were talking about, and would never say a thing if i had no idea about it.


i absolutely hate when i talk to people about cars and they totally talk out there ass, or if there asking you a question and your using terms that go right over there head and dont ask you questions, but with very little understanding of what your trying to tell them.

When trying to buy a part from the dealer, I was told my 1989 M3 didn't exist.

Had the same thing happen one time - "are you sure that its an m3?"

We took an Audi TT in on trade when I still worked at the BMW dealership...

One kid I worked with kept flapping his mouth about how the car had a "V5" engine in it..


It was a 1.8T engine which says 5V on the engine cover... 5 valves/cyl dude. not 5 pistons

That thread of the Civic is so awesome.

When stanceworks is making fun of you for an unsafe suspension setup... you've gone way too far.

I wont even stack Nuts to space out a power steering bracket on an engine swap, etc.. Besides just looking ugly, it also looks totally unsafe on a strut

[willy-guldager]

When people who call themselves bmw fanatics and they say a BMW without a straight six isnt a real bmw

A buddy of mine just asked why they have such a large AUDI emblem on the roof of the Superdome . . .

Another thing I realized that drives me nuts is people who clearly lie about their HP outputs. What is the point in lying about it?
