many people used to comment on how they thought my 18" wheels were 16's. other than that, I used to get a lot of good comments.

"your car is weak" after pulling in to a parking lot coming from some high school kid who was...walking...with his buddies. I should've asked him where his car was, or I could just save some time and ask him where his honda was...

Sadly, one time after messing around with a kid in a fairly older corolla, with a Giant exhaust kit on it his car . He finally racked up the nerve to say this "Damn. I'm suprised you beat me with that POS, I didn't even know they made rear wheel drive 4-cylinders." What he said was so stupid, that i managed to go completely focused out and thinking about how dumb he was..that, I hit a car...

today at school me and this kid are talking about going to the track:

Him: dude my integra gsr runs low, low 14's!
Me: i doubt it, what mods does it have?
Him: Intake, exhaust, headers, and v-tec controller. I can set it to kick in at 3500 rpms!
Me: O ok i could see that. (at this point i know he's full of $hit but i just say ok and go along with it)
Him: Dude i swear i run low 14's
Me: Where did you get these numbers from?
Him: It was while i was street racing!
Me: ... ummm

Then i go on to talk about my first run last week at pacific raceways...

Him: Dude you should swap a GSR motor in your maxima!!!
Me: WTF!!! you gotta be kidding me... ITS FOUR CYLINDER AND NO TORQUE!!!
Him: It comes stock with 190hp and 172ft lbs torque! (acutal hp rating is 170 hp and 128 ft lbs: http://www.edmunds.com/used/2001/acu...487/specs.html)
Me: ummm...my engine = 160hp + 182ft lbs torque.
Him: whatever...

Later...

Him: dude my sister used to have a hella savage car, a 3000gt that was worth like $120,000...
Me: yea ok, thats cool. (YEA MF RIGHT!?!?!)

then he thought that a new STi would cost $50,000 (MSRP is $34,000)...

THIS KID IS ****ING STUPID...

you guys should laugh at this.

Pulling out of the school parking lot (back in High school). Kid rolls up in a 96 6 cylinder mustang. we both have are windows down and he smirks and says "pff 4 doors". We end up on the road together, and he "tries" to pass me. When i see him getting ready to i down shift and lay into my nitrous. I look back and hes a good 5-6 cars back. Next couple of days at school he approaches me and says "That a fast camry. What do you have done?" Im thinking to myself WTF, but decide to play along and say, "Oh its a stock 4 banger." The look on the kids face was priceless after that.

Lol, domestics... The things they say.
Theres a kid in school that has a 5 Speed 3.4L V6 with CAI, and Magnaflow catback. (This was back before I got the new engine) but I wanted to race him, not really thinking I could beat him with a bone stock 200k engine and burnt out tranny. I ended up beating him by a good car and a half length by what I could tell in my rear veiw. When we got to the stoplight he pulls up next to me and told me the reason he lost was because My car was four wheel drive and he started off in a pile of sand and that his exhaust was hooked up wrong. and because he had Limited slip, and blah blah blah. Then he began to argue with me about my car being 4 wheel drive. I finally had to pull the ebrake (auto tranny ) And spin the tires to make him belive. He's a tard and recently, as he claims "Lost control of a mad drift" (and ran into a poll) his car now sits at the junkyard.

Back Story:

I've been having some water leak problem with my Maxima for a couple months and I couldn't for the life of me find out where it was. The dealership fixed the usual but still it leaked. I found the initial leaks and sealed those, the crappy job they did with the corners of the rear windows are going to get fixed over the weekend. After a couple of rainy days here in NC, I finally figured out that for some reason water is dumping INSIDE the RH passenger light. No biggie, I'll remove it, seal it, and it's all gravy...I hope.

Fast forward to today. Finally had the time to swing by Autozone and bought some goodies (Silicone Sealant & detailing goodies). I see a civic and and a cougar all riced out (gaudy unpainted kits, 5" JDM Mad Tyte exhaust, chrome wheels so shiny it could blind Ray Charles in his grave..etc..) park next to me. They were checking out the rear and looking around it (wondering why it's lower than their JDM rides, I suppose). So, I come out of the store with sealant on hand, and the rest of the goodies in a plastic bag. Both drivers approach like they want to start something and all of a sudden the cougar driver went: "Dude, you should buy some sealant because your blinker fluid is leaking." At this point, I am stupefied at this comment thinking they CAN NOT BE SERIOUS...then the other piped up "Yeah man, I hear Nissans have a strange problem with that." At this point in time, I am laughing like an a55hole who just saw a midget slip in motor oil and these two ******** are staring at me like they knew what they were talking about. Needless to say, my night has been made, I've never laughed so hard at an Autozone parking lot. NEVER in my lifetime would I have dreamed I would actually hear someone so serious about "blinker fluid."

Problem:

Thats so deja-vue. Today at school a girl was talking about how her blinkers are out. and this girl walks up not knowing what there talking about. and the girl says "Whats wrong with your car now?"
Other girl "My blinkers dont blink"
stupid girl "maybe your out of blinker fluid?"

She said it in a typical preppy way and then prounced off like she was goddess of the car. I had my ipod plugged into my head. but when my friend finally ended up telling me what had happened I went over and had along talk with the girl. It was a good 40 mins before I had to finally bring her out to my car to prove that there is in fact NO fluid line that runs to the tails. I think she just agreed with me. sad thing is she's one of those girls everyone wants to date cause she's like Hott. and smart. Well it's obvious you cannot come with both traints. huh. Dumby.

Also yesterday a kid overheard me talking about my interior light problem. and how they wont turn on and such. As his cool "I think im cool cause my daddy bought me a new GT mustang" self. he walks up to me and starts talking. saying he can fix it.

Sadly I let the kid touch my car. He searched around for a good hour or so after school. finally ended up popping my hood and replied... OH... it's a v6. well nevermind thats WHY i can't figure it out. I ask him, why does a v6's interior lights differ from a v8's I'm sure they're set up somewhat simular.
He responds Nope. "A V8's interior lights don't use cables. It's for weight reduction. thats why they're faster..."

Iowans might be blessed with some of the top schooling but damn are some of them dumb as hell. Thank god I wasn't born here.

Yes I love the ones that drive domestic cars. Then begin to tell you why your car sucks just because it's a 3.0 v6. Sorry mr domestic. My car easy beats your 3.6 manual v6 Camaros. (there is like 4 at school all modded. they suckage) People think just cause its a bigger liter. = Faster.
