"It looks so normal, how is it that loud?"
-ebay headers with open y-pipe

 

From the parts store at local dealership:
Guy: Oh you might want to go to the ford dealership next door.
Me: Why?
Guy: Because gm didn't make ford lightnings.
Me: ...... It's a stepside sierra.

 

Thread revival, but I like it.

Advance Auto Parts encounters, among all the rest:

"How can I hepp ya?"
"Yeah, I need you to pull some prices on some pressure gauges for my nitrous bottle."
"Ight. What chu drivin?"
"Doesn't really matter does it?"
"Yeah, I need to pull you up in the system."
"Alright, just say a 2000 Chevrolet Silverado."
"327?"
"Sure. 5.3"
"Yep. 327."
Guy behind me in line: "What chu puttin nitrous on? That thing out there?" *points to my Colorado* "Hahaha. You gotta pay to play, and you gone pay. You gone blow that **** up."
Guy at the counter beside me: "Can I help the next one in line?"
Same guy that makes comment to me: "Yeah, I need a price on a Bully Dog chip for a 98 Silverado, 3/4 cam, open headers. Tried the Superchips, didn't like it."


"Ain't no way a 5.3 gonna fit in that truck."

"You can put nitrous on a four cylinder?"

"So, is that a Stage 2 nitrous kit or just a regular?"

"What you got behind that seat? Two 15's? You got two 15's or just one? Danggg." *I know you audio guys running higher rms on single sub setups have heard this.*

Etc., etc.

 

I cant stand going to the parts stores. I ususlly research the part I need and just give them a part number.

Had someone tell me that GM never put a AWD in a truck.

 

Same here. I've given them the part number before, then they ask "Where'd you get the part number from? Let me look it up instead." or "The system won't let me put the part number in." OR I'll look it up on the computer at Autozone, point out the part to the people, then "Well, I'm gonna look it up on this computer over here. What model truck?"


Also had a buddy that "turned off" the turbo on his Typhoon via HPTuners.

 

gotta love parts stores
i love going in and asking for parts on an 83 Corvette. 03 Camaros are getting to where they'll occasionally work, too

 

I'm gonna have to try the 03 Camaro one next time I go in.

Every time I go to the autozone in mcpherson I get told I need a new MAF cause the truck idles rough. Couldn't have anything to do with the cam

 

"why would you buy a 2wd truck?"

 

Did you put those SS badges on there?

Why do you want to make an suv fast?

Have you put a chip in it yet? I hear they help, you should look in to one!

Also had a guy at the counter of Te gas station I fill up ask me about my truck:
him: That a real ss?
Me: yea it's called a trailblazer ss
Him: yea I've seen several of those, from my rear view
Me: cool, what ya got? wanna run me?
Him: 5.3 Colorado. GM says they'll outrun the trailblazer. So
Yea I'll run you.
Me: where is it?
Him: it's at home. I only bring it out on the weekends. It's got a chip and flowmasters.
Me: your going to need more than that to see me in your rear view.
Him: do you understand what a chip does???
Me: $40 on pump 5. I gotta go before I laugh!

 

I always get asked-

Them: You got flowmasters on it?
Me: No

Or

Them: Man! What kinda cam you got in there?!?
Me: Umm the stock one lol
