Funniest thing youve heard about someones car ???

post any funny stories youve heard about or someone has told you about their car or your car :

like if you have a big cam and some poser comes over and asks if your car is missing ...LMAO

or that since they bolted on a set of headers and a k&n filter their car will run high 11's...LOL..

anything like this , am just curios to some of the dumb remarks some of these people make that think they know somethng about cars and actually dont know much more than how to put gas in one...LOL

 

This kid in high school was trying to argue with me that the General Lee was a 4 wheel drive Roadrunner

On his gradutation day this kid I was friends with put crappy tires on the back of his z28 and burned them in the student parking lot until one of the tires popped, that was cool and funny.

 

A guy I know heard my GTA running the other day (my GTA needs a tuneup and is running rough and missing) and said I must have a cam and wouldn't beleive when I said I didn't. Same guy raced his Integra against a friend of mine's Porshe 944... said he lost by a car length, when in fact he was so far behind the Porsche, that my buddy in the Porsche put it in neutral and coasted across the finish line, and the Integra was still so far behind him, he could hardly see him! (not a 1/4 race... it was on a country road) He wants to race me... but I can't be bothered wasting my time...

Years back my dad built a 1923 T-bucket hotrod... money was tight so he rebuilt a 307 he got for free and added just a mild cam. He sold the car... 2nd owner sold it again... the car hadn't been modded at all by the time the 3rd owner had it... my dad saw the 3rd owner at a car show bragging it was a done up 327 with a ridiculously high horsepower... My dad walked up and saw the car hadn't even had a bolt turned since he built the car... my dad told the guy he was full of ... then my dad told him he was the one that built the car, and also told him the VIN number of the car... that guy certainly looked stupid!!!

 

To me this is kinda funny but some may not think so. A kid I met at Walmart (Yep at walmart lol) had this happen to him. I just happened to see some kid out in the parking lot with a 86 firebird when i drove past in my Iroc. He was like nice car and we started talking. His front end was smashed in a little ways and it was alittle bloody. I was like what happened. He hit a deer going about 70mph with his firebird. The deer went up and over the front end over the car and into the sky! He thought it was hilarious and so did I. His 86 was his beater car, he also owns a 89 TA. I just imagined the thought of a deer getting boosted up over a firebird into the air like 20feet. Its funny to me cuz hitting deer happens alot around here and as long as nothing serious happens, we can joke about it.



Another one. In highschool my senior year, i just bought my car. so out in the parking lot there are the usual import junkies and the muscle car group consisting of my car, a mint 80's el camino, and my friends 76 TA 400. The import kids always thought they could take me. One day, I see one of them in his '00 Mercury cougar v-6 talking to his friend while I was pulling in. He looked over and was like i could take him i bet. Then his friend said dude you will get owned! Thats an Iroc-z man! That brought a smile to my face. I looked over and laughed. I later saw him one day on the road. he was behind me and was tail gating me so I hit it and he faded like a snowball in hell. Never did mess with me again.

The only competition I had was that TA, elcamino, a 350z, and mostly stock neon. Yep a neon. He claimed mid 14's with headers, catback, gutted interior, CAI, and his driving skill. I was like But he brought the slip showing 14.6's and I was in awe.

 

Haha, I got a couple good ones:

1 - Back in my Senior year of high school, there were only about 5 real Domestic sports/muscle cars. My 85 Berlinetta 305, Dude named Jon's 98 Stang GT 4.6, Josh's 87 Z28 (LG4), some Sophmore with a real raggedy 283 w/Powergilde 78 Camaro, and then my friend Justins 2.8 MPFI 5-speed 89 Camaro (yeah it was kinda cool, not V8 but still f-body). Anyways, that was it and we always all 5 parked beside each other. I have beaten Josh's GT by like a car, after I found out my Camaro had the L69 and I completely added a bunch of mods and lightened it up and added sticky tires.

So, this dude in his "6k" Civic, real riced out, had big fart cannon and suppsoed "special computer". Anyways, me, Justin, Josh and Jon are sitting there by our cars in the afternoon chatting and stuff bout cars when the Civic dude, Neil, comes flyin through the parking lot and pulls the ebrake and chirps his tires doing a very weak 180. So, I **** my head a little and then Justin said, "dude, go own his ***." So, I walk up to Neil and ask what the hell all that was about? He said it was just the "fastest car in the school" showing its stuff. By that time, a crowd has gathered around and people ALL thoughth is car was so fast and constantly cracked on my Camaro, cause it was black primer and REAL loud, plus was sportin some decent Z28 wheels with big fat tires and everytime I would take off, it would go REAL slow, cause I couldnt use the accelerator or it would jump up and run. So, anyways, I tell him to prove what hes got and lets run 'em. He said his tires were a little "bald". SO, I told him bring it or face the fact his car is slow. So, he said we'd run them right then and there. I turned and looked at Justin and he was grinnin ear to ear, knowin I could take him.

So, I fire the Camaro up and let it warm up a bit and then pull up about 10 feet behind him and his buddy yells "Gettin' scared of the Honda buddy. YOu better be, his cold air intake took his horsepower up to 160. " I laughed and said, "Son, First off, 160 is what I make when I start the car up and second, Im back here so as not to mess his pretty paint job up with my rubber." then i punch the gas and the tires start spinningl iek crazy, cars slidin sideways and I finally let out and let it rol lup to the line. Neils all revvin hism otor up, EVERYONE except like 6-8 people I know are behind him, all cheerin for him. My friend Justin walks up and tells me to make it funny, to totally embarass him, so I smile and say "OK".

Dude flags us down and I punch it and the Posi is eating the tires like crazy then it grabs and I pull HARD, harder than hell, like a bullet. Im talkin he had a car on me and I just shoot past him and gain 1 car, 2 cars....Then I let out and he gets up beside me and smiles, laughin at me. im all sad lookin, then I suddenly smile, flip the bird to him, and punch the Camaro hard and it shifts down and shoots off and I beat him by like 4 1/2 cars in the end. So, we all gather around and Neil hops out and yells, "Man, What the hell? I had you but you CHEATED and hit the NAWWWSSSS!"

So, I said, " NItrous, you mean? Show me the bottle and Ill give you 50 bucks man." I pooped my hatch and let him look through the car and he then said, "You got it hidden man!" So, I popped my hood and told him to look under there for hoses. When I popped my hood, people were crowdin around, lookin at the chrome and my clean motor. He was still all mad but by then the teachers and crap had made their fat asses down there and we ended up with a weak in ISS (in school suspension). Didnt really care, cause then everyone knew I had the fast ride, my car got the nickname "The Beast". Lol, thats funny, cause it was only an L69 lmao.

 

This was a long time ago, and didn't include a 3rd Gen, so moderators feel free to delete it if you feel the need....

I'm showing my age here, but this was back in 72. Senior in high school, I was. Year before I had bought a 61 F0rd Fairlane 500 from my folks. They had gotten a newer car, but the body was straight (even if it was a full sized 4 door baby blue grocery getter). Reason I wanted it was Dad had a 4.11 rear end installed in it the year before so the factory 292 V8 could pull their camper without groaning too bad.

Within 6 months I had installed a low milage 390 Police Interceptor and heavy duty C6 tranny out of a 2 year old state trooper car that had gotten rolled. Then I added some 428 Cobra Jet heads milled 30/1000ths, dual line Holley 750, and a set of full competition headers. And some L60 rear tires.

Buddy of mine had a 350 Caprice that he had warmed up and won several trophies at the locak dragstrip with running in the full sized car Stock Class. He hounded me for 4 weeks after the motor swap to race him, but I was taking it real easy the first month making sure everything was settled in and running okay.

That month passed, and then we were ready. Found a brand new deserted road about 15 miles out of town that other kids had marked off a 1/4 on. Lined them up, a 3rd guy dropped his arm to start us, and the Caprice was so far behind at the 1/4 line I though he had broken down. Had to be at least 9 or 10 car lengths back. I asked him what was wrong and he blew a fuse! "Not a Gawd D@mned thing!!! What did you guys do to that car?!?!?!" We did it again, same result. And those L60's weren't hooking up very well at all. He was flabbergasted, and the dozen or so "watchers" were ribbibg him pretty bad. That was some car, I routinely beat the 440 6-pack Roadrunners and Chargers by 6 to 7 cars in a 1/4 mile. Couldn't drive it in the rain or snow without forcing it to take off in 2nd gear, other wise it would just sit there and spin when you let off the brake pedal (this was in Indiana).

I had to have 2 sets of matching rear wheels and tires so a buddy and I could trade them out every week or so to keep my Dad satisfied while he kept checking my rear tires for accelerated wear to make sure I hadn't been "hotrodding" as he called it. Thought that was pretty clever at the time!

Oh well, sorry for the ramble...


- Ye Old Phat Phart, Vern

 

i should have tried the trick of switching out the tires when i was growing up ...LOL...but now im older and have two kids i know what to look for ...HAHA...

 

its not much of a story because non of you know this person, but in the town i live in theres this guy that has owned a few mustangs, they were all nice cars, and all on the bottle... but this guy is a real peice of work... for starters when he was younger like 17 or 18 he had stollen a 4-wheeler from my family, then later that year he and his friends built an instainly huge ramp... he jumped a dirt bike off it... and when he did he rapped himself around a tree and broke his back, putting him in a wheelchair... so this guys got all the hand controls in his cars... anyways on with the story... he liked to go to tracks around, they would put the numbers on the cars in the windshild... but he then would write his time (so called) under the number then ride around with that showing... so im crusing down the road heading outta town, he comes flying up on me, im in my 84 sc, but its no ordinary sportscoop, has a 69 chevelle 327, nice cam, edelbrock headers, no cats, and edlebrock cat back exhaust. nice fat tires, stock gears but its fast. he comes flying next to me... then he looks over, smiles and takes off... well being the butthole that i am i let him get a little ahead of me then take off, i catch him fast and get past him even faster. so he pulls in behind me, on the next straight away he trys it again... so tired of him i let him go by, heres the funny part. as he gets around me a state trooper sees and pulls him over, he quickly lost his lisence... i thought it was amusing.

 

One of my bro's buddies owns a Civic. It's got a fart can, and a glowing shift ****. Not too riced out yet. Anyways the first accident he got into he hit a gard rail and shoved the right side of the car back a couple inches. My dad and his dad managed to pull it out do alot of wleding and get it on the road again. Then he hits a "bump" he says and the front end bends forward. Not in the spots welded eather. It bent in new spots. They fixed that and now it wont start. Great car. He hasn't even had it for a year.
He's also in this car club and the owner of this club drives a Honda Prelude. Florecent Green with a black hood. This is not his daily driver. Lots of bells and whistles. This car just came out this summer for the first time. This weekend he won some NOPI event. (I think thats how you spell it.) On his way back while doing about 120 he blows the engine. Great examples of what wonderful "race cars" these Hondas make. Or should i say "**** cars".

 

yeah they are the perfect example........of what i have no idea...LMAO

 

well, besides going to the over crowded street races in Chicago, i was on my way home one night when this off duty cops catches me on the x-way in, what was brand new then, nissan 350Z(when they were reintroduced), and starts beeping his horn, well i bit, cause i had never been beaten on the x-way, so we are going, mind you i have no working speedo, but traffic is light and we are flying, we have been going for about 3 miles and i am in 4th gear(on a 700 with a 350TPI done up a bit) and around 4500 rpm he was maybe 5-6 lengths behind me when he drops off real hard and starts to flash his lights. around here that means he lost, but i never got next to the guy to ask how fast we were going but from what i calculated on iroc-z.com i was somewheres in excess of 155 mph, and the 350z tops out at that same speed, so as of when i pulled the car apart i have never been beaten on the x-way, but my next engine i am building will be all top speed!! but thought it was funny that a 16 year old car can set the pace!!:lala:

ps stupid imports!

 

i highly doubt u have a mostly stock l98 going 155mph...

 

well it was 30 over, cammed, bigger throttle body, the ram air mod from the tech boards, Accel ignition, aftermarket chip and ecm, and had very low miles on the engine, but i figure closer to stock, unless my speed is off but i have had it up to 122 mph with my buddy looking on his gps!!

 

keep em comming there gotta be more out there than this???

 

Short but funny. Yesterday I am driving home from the grocery store (grocery getter, I know) and about three blocks from my house I am going 20mph (in a 30), and slowing down for a stop sign when I hear "SLOW DOWN!" One of the most shrill woman screams ever. Im like WTF!? I stop and look over, and it is a woman who was moving in THAT DAY. I have lived in this neighborhood MY WHOLE LIFE. I realize that a quarter of a century isnt a long time, but its longer than her. I said "What the hell, I'm only going 20?!" She yells back "Yeah right, I can tell you were going faster by how loud your car was!" Ok, I'm sure, my car is louder at idle than most at cruise. Man it just pissed me off bad.

 

nothing like blasting some one in the face with a power washer when they use my alley like its Route 66!!

 

now that sounds like a good idea for the kid that lives down the street from me with the red ranger with red window tint and painted black rims ....what you think ljnowell

 

WEll i have a real weird story about me and my dad in his truck. We loaded up our little crabbin boat to hitch.. its only like a 12 ft boat. so we put the pin in threw the hole.. now remember u cant put the cocker pin in unless the metal peice slides threw the hole...ok we got in the truck made sure we had everything.. started to pull away got to the end of the block then bam!!! the hitch was laying on the ground dragging by the chains holding them on.. the pin was still threw the hitch.. wTH just happend

 

I still want to do the 2x4s with nails, homemade spike strips!

 

I just got my car back on the road a few months ago but i have a few stories..
1) Teacher comes up and says "man your car sounds like a total POS... take it to the junkyard".... Then some other kid is like "yeah it sounds like a stock car".. I was like obviously you know nothing about cars and he agreed with me on that
2)Just got my car running again after plugs wires and distributor and this riced out eclipse comes up behind be about a foot from my rear bumper. So of course i got on it and he kept up for a few sec then totally faded. So then i slow down and there was a truck pulling a trailor in the oncoming lane and he caught up and tries to pass me but i knew he couldnt make it so he tried anyways and i ended up haveing to lock it up... BTW I get nothing but dirty looks from this kid now HAHAHAH Now i want to upgrade my brakes because of that...
