I love to catch people being stupid.

My stepdad, who gave me my first car, an '86 325es told me that it was the predecessor to the M3...


I believed him b/c i was 15 and just getting into E30's at the time.

[gearheadE30]

lol I see most of this every day at school.... it's terrible.

I love getting into little conversation with people who "know" stuff about cars. Especially when I'm around people who really know and have worked on cars plenty of times. I will never argue about stuff I am not sure of. Unfortunately it becomes a contest. If I feel they are just misinformed. I let them know politely by saying,.....
"I'm sorry, I can't let you keep thinking you are correct about this people will laugh at you" and correct them. If they are just flat out arrogant I let them be, and let other people have a laugh.

I see this guy bombing around town in a nice looking de-badged 4 cylinder. Finally see him at the bank and ask what motor he is running. "It's been updated. I swapped motors." Orly. S14, one OUT of a M1, of did you go big and swap an M10 in? "M10, those other ones suck" Asshat.

I get FWD drive an the 4 cyl all the time when I do drive my shit around. And since I am lowered an tucking I get either You dont need the sand in your truck this time of year, or wow you need to change those blow out shocks.

[moatilliatta]

Makes me mad. So underestimated.

e36 318 drove thru the parking lot at bmw yesterday. Picture this:
Green with the faded rocker panels.
vinyl flames going down the rocker panels, big SALEEN windshield sticker, and NAGASAKI (dudes name) in his fender, along with AEM stickers etc. Oh, and alteeza's

I have heard many people tell me that they have an m3. But when I ask to see it, "it is in the shop." Or it is a e36 325is or a 318is with just the front m3 bumper

Towing my 96 318ti when I blew my second head gasket. There was some stupid mexican tow truck driver telling me how he towed another real nice BMW last week. It was the new M7, and it was real nice.

Or even worse. The 6 cylinder 318 that was brought into the shop earlier in the year. The other BMW parts man SWORE it was a 6 cylinder 318, and it was stock, not swapped.

[IRON-E]

This one ef'in idiot I ran across, told me I had a clean looking Maxima. I replied f@#k off and die with that lawn mower you call a car (87 Civic).

[92 mtechnic cabrio]

I'm glad I haven't had any run ins with any ignorant folks like you guys do. everyone around here knows whats up.

[TopOfTheLine89]

Yeah, i love catching people not knowing what the fuck they are talking about, especially in front of a decent sized audience or their girlfriend.

[Apex381]

I've had the usual, lengthy arguments with "car experts" that my car does indeed have 6 cylinders and not 4.

Bwahaha I get this all the time! I am amazed at people who think small car = 4cylinder.

I went to this used car lot where there was this '91(2?) Cabrio with 100k miles that had an empty tool kit, torn leather, and some other obvious defects, and he wanted $13K. I spoke with him about it to see if there was anything special I should know about the car that would explain the price. He said something about the mileage and asked me what I thought a fair price was. I told him MAYBE half of that if it ran PERFECTLY. He replied that apparently I didn't know anything about BMW's because he had been selling them for blah blah, and basically called me stupid right to my face with my wife there.
I'm serious, I wanted to sock him in the mouth.

I want to punch this guy in the mouth. Was he a foreigner?
