Post your best bullcrap story you've ever heard here...

What an ugly little car, lol.

 

I think you meant reverse.

 

All kidding aside i'm betting some sucker will buy the car which is sad because i have a caprice classic for sale with a 305 that could smoke a ferrari :Brow: .... well maybe if the ferrari was in a parking lot... on blocks.

Trying to swindle some sucker into buying my piece of junk at an extortionists price,

Another one...form the same guy with the Beretta with "256 HP" He just bought a 93(?) nissan sentra SE-R (too fast too furios). its a quick little 4 banger, but he told me he'd burn my 67 electra. Now i took serious offence to that and told him "i'm off @ 9:00 come back with you japcrap" we went down the highway...and i admit he had me off the line, but i was manually shifting that three speed auto, and have no idea what rpms i shifted at, but as soon as i was in second gear...he was done. we went back to the store, and he tried some lame ass excuse like "you have a 430 ci v-8, i have a 2.0 4 cylinder" I said nothing else just drove home and told my wife and laughed all night about it. at least now he keeps his bs stories were i can't hear them.

 

Ricers think big luxobarges are easy kills. The SE-R runs the 1/4 in 15.0-15.6. It can dip into the mid/low 14's with bolt ons. Considering that, not a bad kill for for a 37 year old car. They just don't understand how slow their cars are. I have a 2000 Sentra and I don't street race. If I did, it wouldn't be with my Sentra!

 

Another line of crap I here alot.

Ok, I have a buddy with a 80s something Dodge Dakota R/T. It has a 318, factory rated a humping 220 horse. He claims it puts out well over 300 horse, and that is a very conservative answer. The motor itself is stock. here is his logic:
1: Cold air kit=15 horse
2: Dual exhaust= atleast 50 horse
3: Computer chip: 30 horse
4: KN filter- 15 horse
5: Headers- 30 Horse
6: Mini Starter

he actually said mini starter for horsepower adder.

I don't doubt that all that crap gave him a few ponies, but he didn't pick up 190 horse. He got exceptionally upset when I told him he would be lucky if he 250 out of it. The only I thought would give him more power was the chip. the rest is probably not too much.

 

i witnessed a race between a honda accord with a few mods done to it, race a chevy impala that has everything stock, n the impala won the race. this just goes to show those imports dont belong on the same street as american cars i think

 

Also let the big ol' american iron hit a ricer in an accident and see what happens :bglasses: :eek2:

 

Those tin cans would be nothing. Think about the bullcrap the driver of the ricer would tell the insurance, yea i got rims that arent cheap, cold air intake, chromed muffler.:laugh:

4 real. i went to a car show the other day, n i happend to come across this real nice ford F-150 boss 3.5L (i think thats wut the side of the truck said, i dont know fords that well). it look gooooood, i know it didn have all the stupid bells and whistles bc it was owned by an older gentleman, but as i walked by, i happend to hear some teenager tell him "what would look good on it" and the only thing he said was by adding lights in certain areas under the hood. i couldn help by walk by n laugh n i know the kid had to have heard me

i guess the kid thought an LED light by the battery would give it another 5 hp

 

...another one this week.

Some genius out here seems to think that an exhaust tip is what limits exhaust flow. "Yes, it is the limiting factor.... if the tip pinches the pipe closed!"

It must be very sad to only learn things by reading the back of packages at the checkout line in Auto-Value.

 

I had a guy just recently tell me about the 68 or 69 Pontiac GTO that he had years ago. It had a stock 400 in it. If he was going 85 mph on the highway and punched it, it would break the tires loose so bad the rear of the car would start to spin around on himo No: That's a lot of power at that speed:jd:

tell him to slow down in the rain and he won't have that problem.

A kid walks in the NAPA store this week and sees my 1970 in the parking lot. he tells me his 5.0 GT mustang can beat it. I told him Look at it this way - you have a 5.0, I have a 7.4, Is there really any point? He found me on the road that night and came up behind me like a bat out of church. ( with the Domino's sign glowing ) I put the pedal down, My wife asked where I was going because we had just passed the house. I didn't answer I was too awed by the sight of the mustang getting smaller in my rearview and the sound of my 2 yr old daughter screaming " I like it, I like it!"

Paul, You could've picked up some easy cash!!
Last summer 2 young kids in a new SS Camaro,that really looked and sounded healthy,after market exhaust and tires, kept playin games, I finally told them,50 bucks?? They talked to each other and said they did'nt have it. I said OK lets catch a light and go for fun!!
I ripped them sooo bad ,when we u-turned they came up next to me givin me the thumbs up and freakin out how bad I waisted them.
Whenever I see them now thier always wavin and smilin:laugh:

 

the mythical story of i found this car in an old ladies garage for $500. its a 20000 mile 63 vette. with all the options and the next time you see the guy you ask where the car is and he says he had to sell it. i always figured he tried something out from someone and just had to come over and swip it in my face. jokes on him. he dosn't have the car and my wildcat is still in the garage:3gears: :TU:

 

Actually, your cell phone CAN start a fire while your pumping your gas. When your phone rings and the lights blink there can possibly be a very small spark inside of the phone that will ignite the fumes fromt he gas.
I never really believed this myself, but I have seen video footage of this happening. While stationed in Germany we were never allowed to be nt he phone while pumping gas. When a customer in Europe went up in flames from having his cell phone in his pocket AFN (American Forces Network) broadcast the it as seen by the gas stations video camera. Sure enough, the guy was pumping away when he reaches in his pocket for his phone (ring, ring) and poof!, his pants catch fire.
I would never have believed it if I didn't watch it on film.

 

I love this thread.

Got a guy at work that is "building" his nissan Altima to beat a stock 5.0. And He added, "just like yours". Mine looks stock and nasty 90 ford red but gots a worked over 93 cobra motor in it. After his spanking I told him to buy a stock 5.0 and then he would have a good place to start from. But He told me off, and swore up and down that he almost had me... . Now he decided noone races "stock" 5.0's, his new goal is to beat "stock" WRX's. I wish him luckou: ou: .

The other one;

I got done running this old prelude (84-85ish) for 3 consucetive lights, and finally he rolls his window down and tells me he was playing with me and if he really wonted to beat me he could have. And then "purges" his nitrous. Nice long purge..... By now my 4 year old is screaming for more and to go faster. So at green its off the races. I slap his @$$ by even more, he rolls up and says he missed a gear, . Im aways game he "purges" again, but the purg seems really weak, then I hear an air compressor fire up. ou: He did not even have nitrous. Some company sells a fake purge kit, just like the fake turbo spool sound. I called him on it. The calls me names and says His brother has a 70 Chevelle SS with a factory ZL-6 aluminum 454. That would woop my @$$. I tell him to bring it on. But of course his brother is not home. Now being a car guy, I ask to see it, I tell him it must be a very rare car to have an aluminum 454. And it would be cool to see. But no, its being restored in his 4 car garage. Too bad in this part of town there are no 4 car garages (tracking Housing). Soooo, a couple of weeks latter he is riding shot gun in a very battered and abused 71/72 Shivelle with 307 logos on it. I could not resist, they would not even look at me...

Guess he got called on his lies...:spank: :spank:

 

lol! A fake purge? Come on.

 

I wish!!! Had a ricer friend look it up, and he said it was common. Whats next??? Fake blowers sticking thru the hood?!?!?! Oh wait, its allready been done...

I looked into it now, found the kit and some guy who actually has it. I'll leave his link out to save him embarassment.

$200 Though? You could get a used nitrous kit for that much.
