What's the most incorrect car statement you've ever heard?

I have a new one. I had a customer a couple days ago who was considering trading in his mid 90’s Saturn.

He was telling me all about how fun his car is to drive :cjerk: , because it’s so light (this was at a point that it had become abundantly clear he wasn’t going to buy a car, because he was looking for another Saturn, and we didn’t have one). It was so light, he went on to describe, because apparently, he thinks the body is constructed of CARBON FIBER[color=black].[/color]

The conversation went as follows:
Me: “You mean plastic, right?”
Dumb kid: “No, it’s carbon fiber.”
Me: “That’s what they use for Formula One cars…I really don’t think it’s on your Saturn.”
Dumb kid: “You should really try to learn more about cars if you’re going to sell them.”
Me::banghead: :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

… :lol: i have so many.

[ insert JEG talking here ]

I liked this one.

“The car which has a higher redline will always win, because he can stay in 1st, 2nd…etc longer than the other guy with the lower redline.”

I had some guy up at mighty try and tell me that his buddy had the v8 version of the contour.

I’ve had many an arguement about never making a V-6 trans am(89 TTA)

Also that my GTA wasn’t real because they never put Ttops on a 350 TPI car.

cuban crisis told me he had a factory turboed 98 taurus.

You spray nitrous on the cams to make them spin faster.

Followed by the best IRC logs ever a few days later. :lol:

lol its funny cuz its true…but hey, not all of us have mechanics for fathers, everything I learn is from either dicking around or listening to others talk. meh…I’m learning. wanna know about plants… ask me somethin lol.

“fag’s don’t buy f-bods.”

At Carlisle a couple years back…Some guy tried convincing me and my father, that he had a 1983 corvette.

Yeah I do.How do you get Crimson king maples to grow from one of those Helicopter things?Reg maples no prob,but those CK’s…ugh.Also how do ya root a branch you break off another tree.

How’s this for a thread jack.

some sales women point to the top mount intercooler on a wrx and stated it was a “turbo filter”

ROFL, did he at least say that his was Cross-fire, which was nothing to brag about anyway. And was the only one in 83 made specifically for him by GM. Or did he not even know that was a non-corvette production year.

And back On topic, I had some retard in a maxima try and tell me last year at S&R cruise night, that he had jumped the Grand Island bridge and got over 4 feet of air in his dads Corvette. I wanted to punch him in the face, the whole time he was talking. That is pretty insulting if you think I am dumb enough to believe that.

some random guy who had forged pistons and headers on his stock FD…

so, basicly, he got the brand of the vehical wrong, and his friend owned a Ford SHO ?

seams impossible …

kid that used to work over in lube shop had a late model celica GT-S. claimed he was running 50 lbs. of boost and that he blew through 3 manifolds that year ('05). claimed he was running 7 seconds through the 1/4 but then changed it to the 1/8th when i called him out on it. usually got pissed when i went downstairs to look at his non-existant turbo and came back laughing.

side note, he had NOS stickers and neon lights. CRAZY FAST!

haha, i remember back in the day i literally couldn’t tell the difference between escorts, tauruses, and contours - looked like the same goddam bubble to me

If he wasnt lying, then he has a lot of money sitting on 1 car.

Anyway, I wish you guys knew a kid named Adam Kuhns. This kid actually put together a bunch of pvc piping under the hood of his oldsmobile and said it was a nitrous kit. He took my friend for a ride in it once and he said “watch this”. As he flipped a switch (connected to nothing) he went wot. The car downshifted and he claimed that it was the nitrous.

Elzey McFuckingELZ.

There are many more, but im using them for my book about the ridiculous shit adam kuhns has told me.

that’s REDICULOUS

EDIT: c’mon tell more, that one was pretty good man :tup:

I still wanna meet this kid.

Statement taking from random dumb shit girl in highschool

“My car is faster because it has RPMs.”

I almost punched her.
