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

"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.

LOL yes

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

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"

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.

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 need headers for my Chevy Chevette

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

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

My father was hosting a party, and went to show some of his friends the Garage. Sitting in there was a 02' e46 m3 and an 01' Pontiac Firehawk (which is somewhat rare)... One guy walks in and says that they belong in the junk yard because they are so old. My father was pissed and ready to punch the guy because he worked his ass of to pay cash for both of them when they were only a few years old.

"did you know that BMW stands for British Motor Works"

My dad believed this all his life until about 7 months ago

Needless to say when he told me, I did an epic face palm; on his face
