Some older guy~ "Hey that sounds good you got a RV cam in that thing"

Me~ " ummmm, It's a little bigger than a RV cam"

I went along with what he said and tried to be nice.

 

one night my friend and i were headin to a local meet, one of the older mustang guys (everyone at those meets are either in their 50's with a gt500 or camaro, or 16 year olds with japanese cars) came over to ask why my buddy's car looked like that. 1990 nissan skyline gts-t with camber and a HUGE intercooler, he ran without a front bumper because it was the only way it would fit lol. buddy said "oh, it's just a big radiator"

another guy asked about the back wheels and said it looked stupid, he simply replied "well you like going fast in straight lines, i like going faster around corners sideways"

another good one was when we were rolling up to a red light next to a jeep wrangler the bov opened up and a good solid 3 foot flame popped out of the exhaust. the guys in the jeep acted like a pitbull was comign at them or something haha, didn't know what the hell was so loud. they asked what was wrong with it and the answer was simple "it's got misfire" haha

 

"You have airbags?" That's probly the dumbest I've heard.

 

i know it's supposed to be truck related, but when someone looks under the hood of skyline, and see's a 2.0L inline 6, and asks the ci of your "v8" they deserve a bitch slap lol

 

Da- is that a diesel?
Me- nope
Mind you I'm running Lt's pretty much no mufflers

Da- that's a nice diesel ya got
Me- its not a effin diesel..
Also I've had this pretty much since I've had my truck.

 

A few months back I went to get my oil change and the guys doing the oil change said hey ur truck is miss firing ( it was cammed at the time ) we can fix that here sr I was like no it's fine and they asked why would I drive a truck that's sounds like it's turning off? Lol they wouldn't let me know untill the guy under the truck told them it's cammed u idiots lol

 

You should've let them attempt to "fix" it. That's what I would've done, just so I could later explain that nothing was wrong with the truck.


"Oh, you've got nitrous? Like, the stuff that throws you back in your seat...like in the movies?"

I got that a while back.

 

Driving this K5 Jimmy with a 383, I am geting all sorts of questions and comments.

"bet that get's horrible mileage" - 15 MPG isn't horrible really, but I just say "Passes everything but a gas station."

"That thing got a cam?"

"Does that have a big block in it"

"Is that thing a diesel"

Actually had someone ask me if was a 2000 model, umm, NO, not even a 90 model.

Someone told me they would rather have a jeep because the roof came off, then they were blown away when I told them the top came off the K5.

Started it up the other day and it was a bit cool out. Let it idle for a minute. Someone asked me if I was having engine trouble.

It has a 4 inch lift, a big solid front axle stick out, and mud tires, and someone asked me if it was a 4x4.

 

Me: "I need an inch lbs tq wrench"
Autozone: "for what vehicle?"
Me: "1932 camaro"
Autozone: searching the computer for a 1932 camaro with puzzled look on his face "we don't carry a tqwrench for a 1932 camaro"
Me: "holy crap i was joking, it doesn't matter what vehicle it's for I just need an inch lbs torque wrench."
Autozone: (Nervously and embarrassed) "oh ok i will see i i have that"
He goes to the back and stares at the tool area for a while then walks up to the counter from the back with a large black case.
Me: "that's a ft/lbs tq wrench"
Autozone: "um we don't carry in/lbs torque wrench"
Me: "I guess I've never rented them here before those 3 times."
AZ: "well what are you using it for?"
ME: "Pinion preload"
AZ: "well I'm sure you could just use the ft/lbs tq wrench."
(it was a 20-200 iirc)
Me: i just went behind counter to the back and grabbed one.

 

Some chick's dad: "there's nothin' like the sound of a big block 350"
he was making a reference to jet boats.

It's threads like these that make me laugh but also eat up quite a bit of my time hha
