I hate stupid people that try to talk about cars.

[Baron Von Crowder]

I had a guy in my store telling me he drove his car 300mph on the freeway all the time. I usually just sarcastically acted like I was amazed, but these type of idiots never picked up that I was making fun of them.

I love my stepfather. He is the one who raised me, taught me about cars, forced me to learn some hard lessons about automobiles and got me into my first Mustang. He had a 280Z, full roll cage, tubbed rear, 350sbc etc back in the 80's before it was cool. BUT, I cannot talk to him about my Cobra. I have passed him so far in what I know now and what he used to know and knows now. He just doesn't get it or understand why I have done some of the things I have done. Is he stupid? No. He just doesn't know what he doesn't know.

They're interchangeable, and don't forget the pop up pistons and 4 bolt mains.

HAHA!!

The ole 350 with pop ups, heard that one a few times.

Back in the early 90's had guy say that he would race me on the street but couldn't cause his supercharger wasn't charged up.

It's funny how they all think "4-bolt mains" instantly make it faster. I've called a number of guys out in the past, just asking them....do you know what 4-bolt mains are and what they are really for? The best answer I can remember was a guy that told me that 4-bolt mains make the rods extend longer so that it makes it like a stroker.

Some people really do need to learn when to shut up.

Fuck it, I'll ask. What are they and what are they for?

The piston return Springs are stiffer in the 4 bolt, so they Rev higher.

Which is a good thing, yes? (knows nothing about vehicles other than I like them.)

Read up a bit, and don't listen to me.

I'm sure that was in English but all I understood was this:

"Cars have 4 bolt mains because they're strong. Some Fords have Y's because ..." yep, there you have it. There's a reason I have board members work on my vehicles instead of me.

And people say you're crazy. That's the most coherent statement ever posted on this board.

I know just enough to break cars. I'll act like a moron before I act like I know what I am talking about.

From my experience there is a tier system to car guys you can safely talk to people a tier or two higher as long as you are trying to learn and they know that. You can even show them something new from time to time. When you talk to anyone further than a tier or two lower the gap is to big and it ends up just pissing me off that they don't get it.
