Dumbest things you've heard a DSMer say? :)

this guy came up to me and asked me what button do you use to turn the turbo on LOL
he was driving a 95 gst.
 
Well this one time this guy said he was going to put his motor in a rabbit not with 2 doors but a ugly one with 4 doors.:p All because a cop hit his dsm and they did not want to pay for it.:toobad:
 
Not a DSMer, but I feel its stupid enough to be a worthy entry into bringing this one back..

A kid in my town has a 90's Dodge Avenger.
Some of us car guys were BSing down at the park one night. Had two DSMs. A WRX. A couple 240s. And a few Mustangs gathered around. This kid pulls up and hangs out with us. Then tells us he is going to take a TT V6 from a 3KGT VR4 and the rear subframe/diff from an awd DSM and make an AWD TT Avenger...
 
Well they are not dsmers
But...
I was pumping gas in my car when I heard this horrible whining sound.
I turned my head and say this blue focus with a wing and an ugly as bodykit.
I see a fmic on the car so i go up to the guy and ask him what is under the hood. I see his buddy trying not to laugh so the guy gets out of his car, pops the hood and points to his alternator and say" I have a turbo" so then I notice his fmic is ziptied in the car and the guy goes and pays for his gas.
I go up to his buddy and ask if the kid was serious and his buddy replies "well he thinks i turboed it for him cause he gave me $120 to turbo it and i figure if he is dumb enough to believe that he will get a turbo for 120 i might as well give him my spare intercooler and tell him the alternator is the turbo".
Then I ask him what the terrible sound was and he looks at me and says "Oh I put holes in the muffler threw a tip on and told him he had a highperformance exhaust too but don't tell him".
So on my way home i was just laughing to my self about how many people he probably told that his car was turboed.

That story is the best one I have heard so far.
 
LOL. in my old jeep, the 4wd did not work so i had fun peeling out in that too haha. but fwd is better even over speed bumps! i just got my car running again today, it was the ecu, im so happy! have not drove it for 12 days
 
I recently asked a guy who was rebuilding his motor what kind of head gasket he's going with and he said he doesn't need a head gasket because he's getting the head machined.

There was also a guy with a 1g NT who responded to a youtube video who said the 4g63 is a POS and that the 4g37 is a much better motor because you can build it with Porsche internals.
 
Not that dumb I guess, but I got a chuckle out of a coworker telling me that I could run 87 octane because of 7.8:1 compression. Turns out he also thought that I was running 4 psi trying to get up to 8...
 
I had some kid at the race track with a stock gsx eclipse,( except for a intake and exhaust) claimed he could run 11s, after my brother racing him and smoked him, he asked what light are you suppose to go on at the tree, said he must have got a bad launch
 
there is a guy in my town with a 2g 420a car that "is turbo charged" that pipes me every time I go by the tool.

I was told that he was going to find me and spank my ass at the track as I laughed and told him to bring his pos and I will race him on my bike. LOL
 
I have a few stories that are hilarious.

First: A friend of mine bought a 98 GSX for 9k. It had a bad starter, so he replaced the starter. When it still wouldn't start he sold it to me for $1500 (three weeks after he bought it). Then while looking over the car I noticed the started wasn't bolted up. I bolted it up and started the car no problem.:ohdamn:

Second: Same guy bet me $200 that he could take the body off the frame of my new eclipse with 27 bolts? I collected $200 a few hours later, after he "searched" for the 27 bolts.

Third: (Not a DSM, but still funny). Talking to a guy today who said he had a 03 Cobra with a Kenne Bell 3.4L Supercharger making 1400hp:hmm: (Kenne Bell's biggest supercharger for that car is a 2.8L)
