Dumbest thing an "EXPERT" has said about your ride?

2 of the coolest things I have heard from SMART people is 1. thats a nice 57 chevy (I have a 56) and 2..........HAVE YOU BEEN DRINKING?????

 

"you should sell it" I hate that one,after years of building why would I sell it?or "how do you open the doors" I usually act all suprised and say "I never thought of that,how AM I going to open it"?

 

"Nice rat rod" aside from the fact that the statement is an oxymoron, it really gets me pissed. Hey while your at it call my kids ugly too.

 

I had my insurance agent come out to take a picture of my '47 for the new policy. As he was looking at it and taking notes, he said "so, is it modified?".

 

Once, a perplexed young fellow looked at my ’40 Ford coupe for a while and then asked me “so, is that a kind of truck?”

 

i think i posted ''my car is faster then your car''

 

Oh, I almost forgot. While at a cruise night last Friday I see a chunkabilly walk up to a couple of 60's styled T's and say "Oh man, I love rat rods!!!!!" I bet If you could read her mind the statement would have continued on to say ",almost as much as cheeseburgers."

 

2 weeks ago at The Strangers Show...'expert' telling 2 Canadian women next to MY car that they will do 150mph, stock from the factory, but the government forced the factory to put low speed rated tires on it so it had to be restricted to 90mph...

I'd love for my '51 Pontiac to be able to do 150mph...

 

A guy old enough that he should have known the answer, asks what year my 40 ford is, after I answer, he says( I had two just like that when I was a kid. ) ron

 

I parked my Buick nail-head powered Model A roadster in front of a Rite-Aid. When I came out there were about four people standing there looking at it.
One guy asks me, "Is this your car", to which I replied that it was.
He then, with some authority in his voice said, "32 Chevy, right?". I said, "No, it's a 1930 Ford."
Then looking right at the engine, as the car didn't have a hood, he says, "flathead huh?" I said, "No, it's a Buick."
He then says, "Automatic, right?" I replied,"No, it's a four-speed."
He walked away without saying another word and then a women, who was at least her seventies says to me, "Boy, he doesn't know much, does he?"

 

I have a few
someone asked me if my 66 shelby mustang had a hemi in it

somone asked if my 66 shelby mustang was a corvette

also overheard a father tell his son that my shelby mustang was a corvette

had a father explain (with much detail) how my 48 anglia was a big car that was cut in the middle and joined together , thats why it was so small and i drove from the back seat

 

I've got hydro's on my truck. I have the pumps,dumps, batteries, wires exposed. I have the bed cut up from doing the c-notch and for the cylinders. It's all in plain site. Guy's come up and say," Cool airbags,I got some in my car too"

 

LOL! What a knucklehead! He was obviously trying to impress the Canadian women by doing a quick MPH to KPH conversion and his brain got the math all screwed up! Did he also tell them it had a 5700 cubic inch engine?

 

A guy looked at my engine and said its a 6 cyl.???? I said no.... 2 of the tubes are for the intake and the other 4 are the header. His wife just gave me a big smile.

 

cool ,I use to have a couple corvairs here's the 60 with a 650 edelbrock(I know OT)

 

"What kind of car was that, before you customized it?"

 

Yesterday a gut's looking at my doodlrod it's got a 21 stud flattie with Cyclone heads, Harmon Colins dual coil, twin Winfields, old S/W gauges etc. and a nice old dropped axle, he says " I see ya got that old straight axle in there, you know they make a kit now where you can put Mustang 2 front end in that " Lucky I hadn't had lunch yet I'd have shined his shoes for him.

 

---------------------------------------
Actually, small block Chevy intakes *do fit* 302 Fords! All you have to do is replace
the 302 Ford heads with small block Chevy heads and then replace the 302 Ford block
and internals with a small block Chevy block and internals so the Chevy heads will fit
and then the Chevy intake will bolt right on! Quite amazing really, but it works every
time! I'd've sold that Chevy Hillborn setup to that know-it-all, numb-nuts 'expert'
in a hearbeat. After all, he's "done it 3 or 4 times before" and just because he's
an idiot and a liar and it can't be done, who are 'dummies' like you or I to argue
with his 'expertise'!

===================================================

 

Just to balance the scales, I figure you guys may find this one funny. Every so often, I get the notion in my head that I know lots about Fords. It doesn't help that my buddies are always using my vast knowledge to settle bets and arguements, thus feeding the voice in my head teling me how great I am. Well at a recent show, I stumbled on a '66 Comet Cyclone with a 390 Ford and multi carbs. Now, I'm not a total idiot, I have a 302 with an original Shelby dual quad intake on my car, yet I had to fab the linkage and such. I always wondered why it was that all The 390/427/428 Fords with dual quads had the carbs mounted backwards. I mean, they'll go on either way, but why? So a buddy and I were checking out this Cyclone and I said to my buddy that this was the first FE with dual fours that I'd seen with the carbs mounted forward, just like the ones on my small block. The owner, looked at me with a blank expression and said, "Actually, it has three-twos on it". My buddy laughed his ass off at my evident burst of blindness. How the hell I looked right at a 3x2 setup and thought it to be a 2x4 setup escapes me to this day. I'm a lot more tolerant of others after that...

 

told a guy my son just pinstriped my car--he said that looks good. hour later he ask me ---where did your son get that? he thought it was a decal

 

A friend of mine has a really nice custom 72 Dodge pickup--lotza louvers--cad taillites etc etc . anyhoe at a car show one of the"JUDGES" ask him why he put a slant six in a chevy truck

 

How long did it take you and your dad to do the car? Problem being is the dad they are asking about is my buddy Gilly who's 6 1/2 years older than me.I die crying i'm laughing so hard and Gilly is just plain pissed.

 

"what year is that grill?"
-'32 Plymouth
"No its not, its a '34"

"Thats a nice ride, but ya cant keep em on the road."

"What is that frame from?"
Custom made 2x4 boxed tubing

guy looks at my front axle
"man, EVERYBODY is using tube axles now!"
-Its a stock I-beam

I guess these people know more about my truck than I do.

 

This isn't MY story, but a friend of mine told me and I laughed my butt off. He has a '49 Ford Coupe. He took it out for a drive one day and the battery died on him so he and another friend were pushing it down to the end of the block when someone driving by slowed down and yelled, "SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A FORD!"...They all looked at each other and he replied, "It is a Ford..." The guy just drove off without saying another word. Haha.

 

" Why did you take all the a arms out of that 55 and put a straight axle in it , Its illeagle to drive now , Straight axles were outlawed years ago"


Really dumbass , ever look at any of the semis that role past you , dump trucks , any heavy equipment /

 

I had my car parked in front of my father's shop and this wacked-out looking lady came up to me and goes,"My dad had a car just like this, '46 ford right?" I said "No, it's actually a '52 chevy" She looks at me and looks completely shocked and yells "oh my god!" so I just gave her a puzzled look and she says "I can NOT believe it! That is the exact same year I was born!" ..oh yeah?...


I later found out she paid my dad $600 dollars in singles and quarters, which explains a lot.

 

A classic..... Fresh built 27 roadster, nice paint, tasteful chrome, right stance/wheel tire combo, no interior.
Old geezer walked around it a few times, got close (never touched), all the while looking back a me. Finally the questions.
Him "yours?"
Me "yes"
Him "anybody hurt?"

 

Apparently I really screwed up by filling in the windows on my STATION WAGON. When I told the guy it was a sedan delivery he said, "It can't be. It has the front from a car, sedan deliveries had truck fronts". I just acted really embarressed and started cussing about how mad I was at the guy that sold it to me.

 

Random dude-Thats a 54 Merc. Me- No its a 54 Chevy...Random dude -nope, its a Merc. Me-Really? You dont know shit about cars huh? Random dude- is that even yours? Me- walked off laughing.
