Dumb Comments

Sitting in the Valiant at the gas station waiting on my buddy to get back out, the car was running. A guy walks up and said “sounds like your car is missing, you might want to check the point gap man”. Well the stroker under the hood has a looong duration cam, and makes that rumpity rumpity sound. I am also running a 6al box with a pro billet dizzy. I tried to explain all of this to him briefly, but when he tried correcting me again and saying I need to check my plugs I just agreed with him and said thanks for the heads up. He left, then I told my buddy and we had a good laugh at the expense of this knowledgeable parking lot mechanic.

Heard that one a few times. Had some guy my own age walk up to my car as it's idling (shaking from the nasty lope & solid mounts) and he says. "Dude, your car sounds like it's on its last leg, you should at least tune it up." I tried explaining the aggressive camshaft to him (along with the high compression, recurved distributor, accel 300 ignition, etc) He stood there dumbfounded and insisted my engine was beat to death.

I looked over in the direction he came from to see his car (a honda accord with a fart can exhaust) and I said "Ehhh, actually my engine is just choking on the honda it had for breakfast" :finga: He was none too happy about that and took off in a hurry :D
