Best day ever

[LeadFarmer]

Yesterday my best friend and I were changing the brakes and oil on our friend's f150. Due to the fact he had never changed the brake pads/didn't know how they had snapped and broken every single bracket on the calipers/severed the lines and had gotten stuck and dug into the calipers. His rotors also felt like 400 grit sand paper. Also while changing his oil I asked him how long it had been since his last service, he said 18k miles. When I told him that was fucking insane and that he needed to change it at least every 3k miles/ and take better care of his truck he just looked at me like I was retarded and said "do you like burning money?" and "mind your own business" At that point my friend and I wanted to slap the shit out of him.

After finishing the 6hr brake and oil job in 108 degree weather in the middle of a parking lot I'm covered in oil, sweat, filth, sunburns and am hungry as shit. So I stop by a sonic on the way home. Order my shit, wait, and hope a hot chick brings my food out so that maybe I can get a number and accomplish something that day. Just my luck I get a fat fagot on roller skates instead. He skates up to my car, looks at my LS1 hockey stripes and this is how things went.

fagot: Damn that things got an LS1 in it?
Me: yup
fagot: you must make at least 450hp right?
me: hell no
fagot: well how much?
me: well with these mods last time I was on a dyno I made 315
fagot: Aw damn that sucks man, I make at least that in my car
me: what do you drive?
fagot: That (he points to a yellow neon with Walmart hubcaps, huge ass spoiler, fart can, bicycle tires, riced out lights, hood, and more decals than a nascar.)
me: give me my fucking burrito.


The sheer retardation and overall lack of IQ of people my age today drives me fucking crazy.

It took the two of you 6 hours to do brakes and an oil change?

[allbaugh_04]

Don't help people, problem solved.

yeh I'd never done brakes like these before, they had seals and tiny rings/gears and it took me a little while to figure out how to set them correctly. Plus I was only working with basic tools, no caliper piston compression tool, shitty jack, etc. It also didn't help that we needed to make like 10 trips to auto zone because we kept finding broken things.

^^This.

[allbaugh_04]

You laugh, but I'm serious.

If the person sounds incompetent and question the shit I tell them to do or parts to buy. I'm not gonna argue over the fact when I know I am right and you are the one asking for help. Don't waste my fucking time.

I use to help people a lot and then if something goes wrong, unrelated to what we were working on, guess who they blame?

I only help close, competent friends.

[blackbird0230]

Neon drivers are fun. If it were me I'da told him fuck no I made 358 to the wheels! lol but that's just my car

I agree with ya. Ish hits the fan and either we, the go-to guys get blamed, or we get a scheisse-ton of MORE questions...and it's not for them to learn...it's to bail them out for the NEXT time.

Yea I love the guys that call, "oh hey, what's up...what's new...oh what's an IAC valve and how do I fix it?"

"Oh hey man, haven't talked to you in months..."

I only know basic shit so at least I don't feel too bad about not helping.

[rajiv1998]

Im surprised he even knew what an LS1 was. You should have been like "450?? I made more than that stock".

5. Watch it burn

[cammed goat]

You think that's bad? I was at a car show two years ago and a woman with a DSLR camera with an, I assume, telephoto lens took a pic of my car while I was dusting it off...WHILE IT WAS RUNNING...and she proceeded to ask if my car was a G6. The trunk was closed so there was NO mistaking the GTO and 5.7 badges for G6. Her husband apologized to me and snatched her away and as he did so, I heard him tell her my car was, in fact, a GTO. Man...was she a ditz.

I get the same shit, except with my car it's always a fucking Sebring, I swear one of these days
At least in this instance I was overestimated instead of severely under. I once had someone tell me that "a Trans ams would whoop the shit out of my Camaro" and that "I had made a big mistake buying that car"
I've learned to completely avoid car talk with most people and if it's unavoidable then to cut it as short as possible, unless they know what the hell they're talking about.

[suede]

lol if he was that dumb, i woulda left brake lines undone and watched the chaos

[LeadFarmer]

Im surprised he even knew what an LS1 was. You should have been like "450?? I made more than that stock".

I was so tempted to be like "naw man, I make 600 to the wheels yo, hear that exhaust bro? Yeh man FLOWMASTERS, that shit picked me up like 75hp to the wheels."
But I thought that since he knew what an LS1 was that he might know something......
