Yeah I think after reading on this board for awhile you're bound to stumble into some knowledge somewhere. And I don't by any means know it all so I don't act like it, but alot of people who are ignorant as hell talk like they know everything, oh well. I have a buddy who still doesn't quite get the difference between a dyno tune, chip and programmer and how they don't stack and change the same basic things (although some are better), I've been trying to get this through to him for awhile now... hehe we are getting there.

I had some guy at school try to tell me that when you are spraying a 100 shot of nitrous that it actually means you can spray 100 times before the bottle will run out. 
I love it when people make an *** out of themselves.

Dumbass
my Boss told me yesterday that he put a Skyline Motor in his '93 HONDA Prelude. WTF right he kept on about how it bolted up to his transmission and how he cut the fender wells out and everything. First of all your honda is frontwheel drive and skylines are either rear or awd second why would you leave stock prelude exaust on a bad *** motor. and lastly he told me he was running 10.5 all motor
And the other day i was installing my new nitrous kit my friend who doesn't know anything about nitrous. he argued w/ me for like 2 hours telling me that nitrous was flamable then i showed him the bottle and the sign on it that says" NON FLAMABLE" he just say oh then he was trying to tell me how to install it

1) "It has the 350, ya know, the same motor I had in my 95 Z71"
2) "Oh it has the small v8" I respond, "the 4.8L?" "no its the 305"
I try to inform them but being as how I am younger than them (I'm only 20) they just take what I say with a grain of salt.
I cant believe guys are paying $20+ grand for a new truck and have idea about whats under the hood.

My boss at my summer job has a 5.3(325ci) in his silverado and he is convinced that GM brought back the old 327

i just love it when i'm told that a 350 with a 2 barrel carb makes 350 horses at the rear wheels. or a 350 crank in a 305 makes a 383. but the all time best one was, when i was told that someone put a 454 crank in a 400 and made a 427,
i know how everybody feels, they are out their, just remember.
little green men landed in their back yard, broke in to the house and stuck a probe up thier ***, keep that in mind and it will all be better.

I had a guy at a show tell me about his 440 6 pack Hemi ??????
and that my superbird was not actually a production vehicle.
til I showed him the build sheet.
Then he argued that the wing and nose were fiberglass
til I plopped a magnet on the nose and rapped on the wing.

I can't stand the people that have bad *** cars that don't know **** about them. Like the rich little mama's boy, or the old fat dude that just payed somebody to do it. There's been many a time where I've been at a show, and I knew more about the car than the owner.
