OK me and my girlfriend are goin out to dinner and were taking her car and on they way i told her that i thought her clutch might be near the end of its day and she says to me, "we'll how do you check it?" i said well you cant really just check it without some major work. She says
" Oh i thought it was like brakes or something" Right then i just looked at her and laughed. Had to post it. Any similar stories?
 
Yeah, I've got a funny one! Me and my wife are out and I decide to let her "have some fun" so I ride shotgun and she takes the wheel right? Well lemme tell you... oh snap here she comes...
 
When I had my 1g tsi I took my older sister for a ride. Here is exactly what she said, "Tim I really like it. The red and black paint is cute and its really fast. But can you turn that wistle off?" -reffering to the sound of the turbo spooling. That moment was priceless.
 
I'm constantly getting asked "what's this do?" "what's that noise?"
 
My favorite has to be, "What's that noise?"

My response "Which one........"

DSM's are great but I like riding in my girlfriend's car sometimes. It's weird, no jerkiness, no harsh ride, real quiet. I always find it odd whenever I ride in someone else's car and don't hear a BOV when they shift though.
 
yea I had this one girl sooo amazed cause of the turbo timer :laugh: she went inside and told all her friends like it was the coolest thing ever :laugh:


:rolleyes:
 
Ha, I commute to college and I love using the turbo timer. People always come up and say, excuse me, you left your car on. I always mess with them, because my magnaflow exhaust is annoyingly loud how could I forget to turn it off. So I'm like, 'Oh my god! really, thank you so much, I totally forgot." Then I pull my keys out and go, "Wait a minute, how is it..." But besides that, my X asked me what the noises were coming from my engine bay, and I told her I had a bad muffler bearing. She caught onto me when I told her my fog light was out because it was low on fluid.
 
When the bleached blonde at work bought her new V6 firebird (automatic) a few years back, she asked what I had in my car. When I told her it was a 2.0 liter, she said, "Wow! my engine is like TWICE the size of yours! I could waste you so bad!"
 
my girl absolutely hates cars. talking about them, modding them, anything. She wont get her license until she feels like she absolutely needs it. Ok, so we're out one night and she asks about the recirculating feature on the climate control. So i go about telling her and like a sentence into it, she goes, "dont tell me anymore i'm bored already." Its like she asks a question and i try to tell her but i guess her hatred is that much. women these days. :rolleyes:
 
ok. lets not bash on women...

but a couple funny thing my gf says :p


"What does that Turbo part do again."

"what the, your car won't turn off."

"Stop doing that!", (me) "What" (her) "Making that noise" (me) "what noise?" (her) "the one everytime you shift"

"Jessssssseeeeeeeeee!!!!!! slooooooooowwwwwww Dooooowwwwwwwn its only a 35 mph turn!!!!!!!!!!!! your going 75!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Umm, I think that large advertising car is trying to race you, maybe you should let him catch up, that is just embarssing" :p

(riced out honduh del slow with big big stickers)

***EDIT***

I forgot one, when she first saw my teal 1g after i sold my red 2g..

"YOU TRADED IN YOUR CAR FOR THAT!!!! WHAT THE HECK WERE YOU THINKING!!!"
 
mine said she liked the turbo on one an engine bay that we were looking at. Im like what? She points at the air filter and says "it's pretty"

Then after watching that discovery channel racer thing she was trying to explain what a drivetrain was cuz i missed the diagram or something. "its got a stick thinggy with springs on the end" then i aske "was it the axel". So after a minute or so of aguiring i had to walk outside and show her my axel. she hasn't tried to talk about cars since.
 
People just ask about my BOV and turbo timer. Another one that's my favorite is people coming up to me and saying: "I saw you yesterday" Well I honestly tell them it wasn't me. They just see any white Eclipse and think it's me.
The chicks at school come up to me and ask me why I scrape on the ground. I usually get confused and say that I just spent a bunch of money on a new suspension so my car doesn't scrape. They say I did, and I get confused, and finally realize it's my BOV they were talking about.
Oh oh here's another good one regarding the BOV. My girl friend was driving next to me and my BOV went off. The next day she comes up to me and asked me if I had NOS. I said no, and she went on: "well what was that Pssssh sound?"
 
Haha, all this stuff is comedy.:laugh:
I get alot from the blow off valve. Once my buddies dad thought I blew up my car.:p

Thats pretty funny. Most women arent mecanically inclined and I think its kinda cute that they dont know any better. I've had to tell my wife about 5 times now that her car is a inline four cylinder. LOL Its funny to me because she always askes me that when I race a v8 or 6 and pull on them. BTW did you ever school that blonde co-worker or what?

Nah, I'm just too nice a guy ;) She was all proud of her shiny new car... I didn't have the heart. God knows I wouldn't want anyone shattering my illusions of granduer, LOL...
 
LOL these are so funny. greatfully my wife when she was growing up was given old used cars and she learned how to work on them. her 1st was a ford bronco ll, then a nightmarish 65 mustang.. this one she got most of her hands on knowledge from. a/c, belts, plugs, power stearing, breaks, water pumps, she has some knowledge of and hands on experience with.
 
I guess I'm lucky, the only thing girls say about my car is "Damn this thing is fast! Too bad there isn't more room in the back seat tho..." :cool:

My wife drools over chevelles and old camaros. V8s. Rumble rumble sounds, LOL. Cars with those whatchamecallit "carberator" things. She can tell the year with just a glance at tailights, rear bumper, whatever. It's scary. I feel bad for her, cuz half the time I don't know what the heck she's talking about. 3 speed, 4 speed, on the floor whatever, 4 barrel stuff, holly somebody, bell housings, I dunno, LOL...

Yeah, great job on making it look like a Talon convertible. Your custom sub enclose kicks much booty too! I want an enclosure similar to yours so I can boot the box.
