Idioit Engine Experts

Or my Uncle that swears he had a 56 Chevy with a 283 that left the line at 10000 rpms and shifted at 14000. How stupid do they think we are?

It was a 57 chevy.HAHAHA

I like it when they come up and ask "how fast does it go?????",,,,,,,,,,,, "On the speed-o!!!",,,,,,,,,, "Mines does 200!!!"

And why do people have to touch your car? I am painting my aluminum wing this year because so many people have touched the dang thing that there are greasy fingerprints all over it. I don't mind people looking and asking questions but why touch.

another thing. I love it when people come up to us to remind me that our radiator is missing. Like I didn't know that I don't have a radiator.

I used to hear this all the time from people regarding my cousin's street car: "It will jump a Coke bottle"....I laugh.

what about, "my car has more power than yours. it will pop a wheelie and yours barely lifts the tires." I just nod and go on with my business.

Thats when I ask, "For real, where is your car?"

It must have been a "3/4 race" cam...lol.

X2 My wifes family is all chevy and they all want that "3/4 cam" but none of them got sh**t

Hey Guy's, don't forget about the ones that rode in the 55/57 Chevy and the owner put a $100 bill on the dash and said it was yours if you could grab it while he was going thru the gears ...................................... There everywhere there everywhere

This sounds like 3/4 of my local Mustang and Ford club. They are all great people but almost all of them owned or no someone that owned a car that would pull the front wheels on the street twenty years ago.

Next time they say that ask them if they seen it you think it fell out on the last run and you are looking for it and can't find it.

Rick I have a nephew the same way but when he needs to know something he always call and ask what to do

We had a paved road that cars could pull the front end. Of course it usually had VHT on it by the end of the evening. As a matter of fact, when I was a kid I once saw a former Hot Rod magazine cover car, a nitrous 70 Chevelle, that matched raced a legal prostock car on that street. Of course it was an ass whooping but it still was pretty cool that we had enclosed trailers lined up on the side of the road and the local cop was running radar.
