Dumbest things you've heard people say about/seen people do to their cars

I convinced my girlfriend that muffler bearings were a thing. Said I'd replace hers for free if I got a bj. I got the bj

Muffler bearings are an actual part that can be found on a muffler hanger on a Mercedes Benz. No Joke

I work as a performance parts sales man. I hear it all day.

How much for a Stroker kit for my 1988 Ford Fiesta.

I want a steam machine to blow colored steam out of my hood.

The sand in intake manifold was already posted, so he is another classic.


First page pretty much sums it up.

Being from Eastern Kentucky you hear ALOT of stupid stuff. One of the worst was this guy I went to high school with. He always talked about his dads Audi A4 was wicked fast. He got a neon after school and put an electric supercharger on it with a whole bunch of apex'i and sparco stickers all over it with a body kit. Said it would run with SRT-4s. God I hate neons.

Called out a guy with an SRT-4 that had blast pipes and a horrid BOV at a car meet and said "This does not deserve to be parked in the show". Gave him the thumbs down as he drove away and he just flicked me off.

Probably went home to the SRT forums and posted about how "Haters are his motivators"

It's extremely stupid when someone "calls out" another person because of their choice of modifications.

"Used Diesel"

I was at a car show recently when a younger guy rolled up in a rusty E30. By "rusty," I mean that he had stripped the paint off the car and sprayed it the day before with hydrogen peroxide to purposefully rust all the sheet metal on the outside of the car, including the wheels. The car was lowered, with a "bozo" pipe sticking up at the back and the tires were pretty seriously stretched. In explaining his design effort, he referenced Stanceworks. Not my thing, and I am honestly not hating on his car or stylistic choices.

However, when asked what he planned to do to keep the finish rusty without allowing it to oxidize further, he said that he read that you can rub "used diesel" on the surface to seal in the rust.

Used diesel.

My friends, used diesel = exhaust.

One of my friends still doesn't understand why the mpg needle is at 0 when we are stopped. He thinks it should be all the way to the left, past 40, because the engine barely uses any fuel while at idle. I keep trying to explain to him that using any fuel to travel 0 miles is 0 mpg. He still doesn't get it.
