A lot of begining painters use that striped paint, usually silver or light blue metallic.

I thought of another one. Some kid told me back in highschool (back when we "thought" we knew what was up about cars) that his friend had a car that had so much horsepower that it had sucked its round paper aircleaner right down the carburetor, and they had to specially make one that was reinforced. LOL.

A guy was telling me about this old 427 Ford that he happened to have "just lying around the basement". Seems he put a set of L-88 heads on it.

So I asked him what kind of ignition he was running on it.

He said "Waddaya mean?"

"Ya know, what kind of a distributor?"

"Oh..........stock".

He also had a "CFM Holley" on it...........

I didn't bother asking if he had a chrome reverse intake manifold, a high performance glove box filter, or reciprocating muffler bearings on it........

BTW....anybody got a water pump for a '63 Corvair?

HaHa yeah I keep them with my buckets of steam!


bonuts

These are ones we get parts counter guys with, just to see if they have a clue or if there run of the mill.

1. "I need a set of spark plugs for a 1983 corvette"
They go nuts when they can`t find one, there was no 83 corvette, it was discontinued that year so they could redesign the body.
2. "upper radiator hose for a 63 corvair"
We know the answer to this one, and yet, 9 out of 10 looked like crazy with no luck.
3. "Carb gasket for a 1976 Camaro Z28"
There was no 76 Z28, they made the camaro type T and the basic camaro in 75 76, but the Z28 was discontinued until 1977.
4. Oil pump gasket for a 77 small block chevy"
indeed another classic.

or i need blinker fluid for a chevy pick up
i need a new set of muffler bearings

this one stoner at school said he was doing 145mph in 3d gear in his honda civic and it has 5 gears but he didnt want to go that fast cause he got scared.

I used that muffler bearing story in High school. One of the guys in my class fell for it, hard. He was so mad, when he figured it out, he pissed on the hood of my car. I'd have tried to kick his ***, but I was too busy laughing.

Yes we told these two brothers (twins ) at school that and they went to every auto parts store around looking for them. The funny part is their dad went with them looking for them too! They have a 1986 Nova on of those that look like a Volkswagen rabbit or something. Will we told them it would go faster with new mufler bearings adn they believed us.

here is one for ya...lol Make sure you read the description properly...specially the supercharged bit :p ...then the correction....

I'd have to beg to differ with my camaro...lol my big block has something to say about that!!

Yeah I saw that one before. Lets see, they drill in to their "camcover" (its called a valvecover people) to install nitrous and think anything sticking out of the hood is a blower. That's hilarious.

Okay, this thread is getting long (hehe) BUT FUNNY AS HELL.

Now, do yourself a favor:

1) Go to the kitchen.
2) Pop a bowl of popcorn.
3) Turn of the TV/radio and eliminate distraction
4) Have a tissue ready (to wipe your eyes...)
5) Go to this link....
6) Read all 3 pages
7) laugh your *** off
8) pray no one is really THIS stupid!



oh, and dont assume off the top that you've heard this before, you may have, but the pictures and pure ignorance is worth it all over again

I cant wait to get out to the track this year. There are a couple of kids out there who killed me last year becaue they have they're daddy's Ford lighting (running about low 14's). I'm so sick of kids with their parents friggin toys, I mean really how lame. Its gonna be so nice to shut their mouths.

OK, this one comes from 25 years ago!!

A friend and I were working on his 66 Impala (283 w/ powerglide), a neighbor kid the same age as us walks up and starts spouting driven like he knew what he was talking about. Greg (my buddy) asks the kid if its a "standard or automatic". After a minute or so, the kid looks in the interior and says:




"Looks pretty standard to me !!"

I smell fried rice !!!

I actually get quite a few people on the bad muffler bearing joke. The Monte has a bad muffler that does actually bang when it's cold. It sounds like a bad rod bearing. When it's "rapping" it's also fun to tell people that is the noise of the bad rod going through the engine and coming out the exhaust.

It's 1966, McDonalds doesn't have the "dining areas" yet, just the walk up counters. If you get the closest parking place your car is literally 15 feet from the counter......

Anyway, my buddy Bob and I pull into the local McDs in his Competition Orange Olds/Hydrostick powered '60 Studebaker (kinda loud)

I'm 16, Bob's 18, a couple of Chicago Greaser Punks.

So we walk in to order. The guy behind the counter figures he'll do some "car talk" with his buddy in back......guess he wanted to show us that he knew his stuff!!!

"Hey Joe, what kind of gas are you running in your Mustang?"

"Regular, but I was thinking of changing over to Premium."

"Don't you have to drain your fuel line if you want to do that???"

Needless to say, we were impressed!
