girls, i tell ya

I tell you what, girls ask you questions about cars and force you to explain them to you. But if you dont know the answer they get all mad, let alone whats worse is that they beg you to keep telling them, its like please just STFU so i can tell you. I mean when someone asks you what is torque and what is HP. What does this do(points to engine) its like WOW how am i gonna explain this. I just told her what i thought about what torque was and the imaginary number we call Horse Power.

I love the ever-so-common "Why is your car still running?"

I always try to sound shocked that they think my car is still running. I've got loud exhaust and like others you can hear me comming from a few blocks away. That usually takes peoples minds off the main question though so it's all good.

I get asked what is the whosssh nose (RFL turboxs).. Best to say it normal..

Actually i think i get more of the "OMG your car is sexy as hell wanna mess around in it?"

I always get the glazed over look when someone has no idea what you're talking about when it comes to explaining anything about cars. I've learned to dumb it down to the preschool level, it keeps people more interested.

Nothing bores a girl more than a mathematical explanation of the relationship of horsepower and torque. Just tell them they are always equal at 5252 rpms, that'll keep them happy for a while.

Everyone keeps wondering why my car turns itself off. I say because it is smart and walk away.

I like messing around with the people that think they know some stuff about cars....for instance theres this kid in my college class thats just dumber then a box of rocks....(im in the deisel tech class at centery college rebuild engines and turbo's and stuff...) so one day were all standing around one of the motors we have been working on and turbo's come into the convo. so we start acting dumb....lol this one kid that is standing next to us is thinking he knows a lot about them hahaha. well we told him that a t/4 turbo replaces the muffler on a car and that the t/3 only replaces the cat. well he bought the whole thing.... I couldnt believe that he thought that was the truth we rag on him everyday now haha. :stick: I also have loud exhaust....but people can hear me coming i guess i've been told a few miles away.... :confused: its just and open 3inch manderal bent d/p..... :jammin:

some people try to make you think they know a lot. Last weekend (or the week before) Iceman, 92tsiawd84 and I were at shepard and a kid was trying to tell us that his friend has 490 whp on his 2g with a stock motor and some stage 3 FP turbo. :liar: I called his BS and he still tryied to convice me that he was telling the truth.

It was 499 wheel horsepower, stock engine, and a 12.3 quarter mile time. BTW, the gut was driving a piece of shit old minivan. He had a 97 gsax at home :slap: .

The other day I got someone yelling at me saying... "are you stupid, they never made a 4wd (meaning awd) eclipse"..... it was from a guy yelling at me when he know that I knew more about cars than any other person in the class... I had to TRY to keep from roleing on the floor wile I was lmao at him.
