Oh No She Didn't....

[EJ1 Freak]

...hahaha!!! Sorry for the title...it just fits my story so well! Ok so my sister came to visit me last week for my birthday. We went out to lunch with a friend of mine as well and ofcourse got on the topic of cars...haha!! She drives a geo metro and it's a manual in case ya'll are wondering! So out of no where she asked me if she had a transmission...hahaha...and if that wasn't bad enough the reason she asked is because apparently she thought automatics only had them! ROFL!!!!!

Ok and that was not the end of the laughter for me...oh no...I almost choked on my food I was laughing so hard! So once we established that yes she did have a tranny...she then asked if that meant she had a radiator as well or if she needed to add one to the car! At this point I was almost on the ground...because she was dead serious...and the look on her face was utter confusion! She had no idea why I was laughing!

So the good sister that I am...I explained it all to her so she would understand and then mentioned that she might want to get her blinker fluid checked as soon as possible! :p

[EJ1 Freak]

Ok sorry that was so long...but the point of this thread is that I'm curious if anyone else has heard things like this...and if so please share! haha

that's funny, i used to work at a parts store and we got stuff like that all the time. a good test is to call up and ask for a water pump for a 67 beetle. another time we were getting tires mounted and i watched the sales guy explain to this woman the difference between wheels and tires. he had to walk to the display and point "these are tires, these are wheels".

[JdmRevelations]

damn that shiet is Funny MEL... the only stupid thing i have dealt with is when i saw this mustang tryin to flex on my a WHILE back and i asked if he was v8 hes like "NO V6 whats up... your V4 right.?". i laughed in his FACE so damn hard made him so pissed that he just left...

[G-rat]

[2coupes]

i had a woman at this restaurant ask me why my hood was black and the rest of the car was red, i said its carbon fiber...and she was so stupified haha

[G-rat]

[skater4145]

everyone, from my dad to the local cops ask, "what is that thing on the back?"
when i say, "it's a tow hook" they just look utterly dumbfounded. after about 1 full minute of silence, they just say, "why?"

i can never keep from laughing, its so funny nobody gets it.

[SOHCej1]

i've seen people inspecting an alternator trying to figure out what kind of turbo it is.:rolleyes:

one guy asked my buddy (b16a2 swapped ek hatch) what a do-hic was...:rolleyes:

i always have people ask me "does it have a vtec?"

[EJ1 Freak]

I've had quite a few dumbass' pull up and ask me if I have NOS...hahaha!!! I think they watched FnF too many times! haha

[G-rat]

but then there is also the people that have no clue what the hell they are talking about at all and they call my car a rice burner or a something like that.....hate it when people say that cause they have no clue what the hell they are talking about....its mainly like an ex gf or some muscle car gear head....or someone like that

[EJ1 Freak]

I think I get into the most "arguements" when...

1) someone calls my car a rice rocket etc
2) says I'm stupid for not swapping...bleh

[JdmRevelations]

Honda motors overall RULE.. SOHC or DOHC.. i have a friend calls my car and me a RICER, i just tell them to go drink their HATERAIDE.. and they are just jealous cause my car looks better than theirs..

A good friend of mine used to work at a local auto parts store, and one day a man called in for plugs on a 99 grand am gt, he said he had just gotten off the phone with the local napa, and they told him nothing came up on the screen for what he was looking for. Then to top it off the they asked him if it used spark plugs, b/c if it wasnt in their computer, it must not be available. All he ws looking for were replacement plugs, not something out of the ordinary. Needless to say me and my friend got a kick out of that, and the parts store that he worked at got the man his plugs.

i was in fazoli's in Terre Haute and this old man and his wife were sitting in front of me, and outside the window this guy rolls up in a little nissan truck with bags, he was hittin' the switches and then dropped it to the ground...i heard the old man say "he must have air brakes!" i couldn't help but laugh

then there was this time at a car show, they were doing the burnout competition and it was basically all v8 cars and trucks, then this accord went up there, and it wouldn't burnout because the wheelblocks would just slide when the set them up for fwd, then this hot rod guy that's like 50 says that the kid with the accord isn't patriotic because he drives an import...

Well one time I had this kid come into the auto part store I managed and he was looking for a job so i asked him "Do you have any experience with cars?" He replied well I have been playing with matchbox cars since I was 2, So I tried not to laugh cause he was so serious about it so I tell him ok buddy if you can tell me where to get a can of P E P S I I will hire you right now on the spot.. The soda Machine was what he was leaning up against, he tells me is that the same fluid you put in the thing that makes the car go? I told him go apply at the autozone down the street they need people like you.

So the good sister that I am...I explained it all to her so she would understand and then mentioned that she might want to get her blinker fluid checked as soon as possible! :p

You mean there is fluid for our turn signals? I have never checked that once, ever in my life. My turn signals might be in trouble.:o

[EJ1 Freak]

Yeah you really should make that part of your routine maintenance! lol

[Foos]

Hahaha, yeah I'll have to check that every oil change or so. I use my turn signals all the time so I'm sure the fluid gets used up pretty quick.

[EJ1 Freak]

Hahaha, yeah I'll have to check that every oil change or so. I use my turn signals all the time so I'm sure the fluid gets used up pretty quick.
Yeah no kidding....but if they start flickering then you might be in trouble and have to change the entire blinker fluid reservoir as well...and that can be pretty costly! :p

[JdmRevelations]

hey foos make sure you use the performance fluid.. makes em blink like 30 times per sec

[EJ1 Freak]

hey foos make sure you use the performance fluid.. makes em blink like 30 times per sec
Yeah but that stuff has been known to short the circuit out...so be careful!

[JdmRevelations]

[EJ1 Freak]

^^^Good heads up Luis! *thumbs up*

[JdmRevelations]

[JdmRevelations]

[Foos]

hey foos make sure you use the performance fluid.. makes em blink like 30 times per sec
So thats how those people get their blinkers to blink so damn fast. I've always wondered how they got them to do that. My all mighty question has been solved, thanks JdmRevelations.

[JdmRevelations]

no prob... just ask and you shall know...

[OniFactor]

ooh, ooh, i got one.. so, i was out adjusting my timing, right? and i was doing it on the street (just went out for a drive to see how it was running), and then these kids walk up, from the rear of the car mind you, and a kid stops, looks at me adjusting stuff, and flat out asks me "So.. are you trying to get it to run?"

i just stopped and had to stare at him. since he seemed serious, i started to explain it to him.. then he asked if i was going to wash my car afterwards.. i just told him to keep on walking..

mmmmmBAAAAAHHH!

I needed a new headlamp bulb, so i went to the advanced auto down the street from my house. Theres this fat guy thats always behind the counter that acts like he knows EVERYTHING. I walked in and continued to ask him for H-4 bulbs and he proceeded to tell me they didnt exist. He rattled off some 10 dgit number for a certain kind of bulb which turned out to be the stores serial number for the part. When i found the bulbs, they said H-4 in really big letters on the box.

I have one, about a year ago me and my friend were in school (auto tech) and our teacher asked some kid to go get some "low profile air" so he went to the tool room and didnt find it so he wrote him a note to leave school to go to a parts store to get some. So he went and came back about an hour or so later (auto tech here is about 2 hours long) and said "I went everywhere from Autozone to Oreilly's to Walmart (lol) and no one could find any is it hard to get?" We started laughing at him and the teacher got a air gun and blew the air out and then went on a lecture on what goes in tires and he still didnt get it. Another one I had was someone in my autotech class thought my car was a V6 RWD, I looked at him and walked of laughing
