...that anyone has asked about your vehicle(*)??

Dude: Whats the switch for?
Me: Nitrous and purge.
Dude: Ohhh. Is that the stuff that blows flames out of your exhaust?
Me:

More recently-
Dude: You have a boost gauge but no monster tach?
Me: Uhh, no. Why would I need a big tach if I already have a factory one?
Dude: You can rev it to 9000 then.
Me:

This one happened when I was rinsing the tire and numbers off after a track night(if the units knew I ran this car they'd kill me).
Police Officer as he approaches the wash bay: Son, what are you doing?
Me: Ummm, washing my car officer.
Him: Stared at me for like two minutes 'till he realized he got oWn3d and drove away.

I would've thought that all the soap and me holding the wash wand would've given it away on what I was really doing...

Dumbest "car" scenario

At the car wash with Paul, washin RLD and my Aurora, this older feller pulls up in his Mazda 626 with American Eagle 16'* (woOoOoOoo)...bare in mind its al 95 626

Man: You guys race?
Me: Naw
Paul: No
Man: I just beat a 5.0L Mustang on the hwy 2 weeks ago?
Me: Was he challenging you
Man: Nope

Paul and look at each other :?

As he drives away, I mention, my floor mats are faster then his car

Mechanic at a Pontiac Dealer:

"What are these switches on your console? The little black ones and red one? I forgot what options they're for. We don't see too many SSEi'*"






Okayyyyy........

"I installed those switches. They're for the radar and water/alcohol injection."

Him:

"But what options were they for before you re-wired them?"



I took that as a compliment on my switch installation skilz.

Pricelesss........
(I'll have to remember that one....)

I do have a really funny quote/comment... but it requires telling a story... enjoy


My friend Ryan is driving my gf Jen home and another friend.
I get a phone call like 10mins after they leave.... it'* Jen.
Ryan hit a giant piece of wood on the highway and blew a tire. Jen doesn't think Ryan can handle it.

So I drive out.... good thing they warned me about the wood, otherwise I would have hit it for sure too....

It'* like 11:30pm... cold.. and **** pouring rain.

I pull up behind Ryans car... he'* out trying to change the tire.
I notice that he'* only about 50ft from going under an overpass (the highway he just came off of).

I asked him... "Why didn't you pull under the overpass so that we won't get wet?"
His reponse... "I didn't want to ruin the tire" (I hope he mean't rim)
I said... "But it'* only like 50ft?" He just stares at me.

Ok.. alright... he'* already got the jack under the car, and the tire is completely flat.
The two girls are currently still in his car.... I suggest they go wait in mine, so we can jack it up easier, and safer.

Ryan jacks it up and I goto get the spare out of the trunk.
Ryan looses the lugnuts and.... here it comes....

... trys to peel the tire off the rim with his hands.....

I asked him "What are you trying to do??"
He said "take the tire off.. why?"
I said... "no no.. we have to take the rim off and put the spare on"
He said ..."oh.. I thought you just take the tire off... I thought that black rim was to hold the shape of the spare tire"

I wasn't sure if I should smack him... or fall over laughing....
