Nah, you have to correct them. They might not like it but they'll be better off being mad and right than complacent and stupid.

>Gosh darn it you are right
>What could I have been thinking?
People don't work like this in the real world. Wanna test it? Try explaining crumple zones to somebody that believes body on frame construction is the pinnacle of crash safety.

Iktf op
A qt girl I was hanging out with once started talking about the big bang theory and how there's no God and I'm just like "oh here we go another clueless product of left wing education agenda" but I didn't say anything because she was qt

It literally works that way

>I saw a xx type 3 with the 3.0L v8
>>what? The xx type 3 only came with a 2.5L i6
>oh really?
>>yeah
>oh

>tfw you're talking to somebody about cars and they start supporting "facts" that you know are blatantly wrong like "no replacement for displacement" or "ecoboost isn't even very good"

>I saw a xx type 3 with the 3.0L v8
>what? The xx type 3 only came with a 2.5L i6
>Well, i saw it with a 3.0L v8
>No, you didn't
>Yes, i did
That's how it works

Faggot.

Your friends sound retarded.

>But you are too polite to correct them
and that's where you fuck up.

there are ways to kindly tell them the truth in a non autistic manner.
if they still disregard it, then it's their problem and not worth to get all passive aggressive about, you faggot.

Nice try

This always happens.

They aren't your friends if you can't talk down to them

underrated post

>They aren't your friends if you can't talk down to them
Sounds like you don't know what a real friend is, user. I feel sorry for you.

...

You're implying I talk down to my friends all the time, I don't.

We talk down to each other and laugh about it, call each other all kinds of horrible names. It's just how we are, faggot.

the problem is that its easier to talk about whats going on with a car than it is to fix a car. people fucking love the former. I let em ramble unless I'm seriously being asked

Sounds pretty gay, like you are too scared and babyish to be honest with each other.

We talk cars nigga, the fuck am I supposed to be honest about other than facts.

Actually you know what dude, you are probably so fucking autistic that being completely obsessed about facts to the detriment of human interaction is your form of being honest.

>joking around with your friends negates any sort of honesty
>correcting someone when they're wrong means I'm scared and not honest
not the guy you were responding to, but I don't think you know what you're talking about

Being honest with somebodies life experience is far more significant than being honest over some facts. You are concerning yourself with normie tier superficial bullshit.

I know exactly what I am talking about.

My friends know we are copies of each other taking different paths through life. Your friends are a bunch of guys that happen to be in the same room are are scared shitless of dropping their acts.

>Being honest with somebodies life experience is far more significant than being honest over some facts.
Fucking what the hell are you talking about?

>I know exactly what I am talking about.
>My friends know we are copies of each other taking different paths through life. Your friends are a bunch of guys that happen to be in the same room are are scared shitless of dropping their acts.
This if some serious autism, bud.

>Literally too stupid to understand wisdom traditions
Have fun wasting your life

Why do I wish I was her?

this is not a very good feel.

Bruh idk what drugs you're on but you are making no sense.

Are you saying I should have a coming to god meeting with my friends anytime they are wrong about some small bullshit, instead of just saying
>hey just so you know, that's wrong, here's the correct information
?

Like, should I gather my group of friends around a campfire once a week and talk about our feelings with one another? Actually come to think of it, that does happen, but with a lot of alcohol involved.

I just smile with a shit eating grin when this happens

Honestly, if I were you I would just give up. You are like a kindergartner trying to understand graduate level engineering.

Your life is going to be a complete waste and you are too stupid to know it.

Lol

I'm not even that user.

You are doing a terrible job of explaining things. I only half understand because I'm autistic like you are. Good lord. What do you do for a living?

I hear somewhere that vacbeds can be quite dangerous, spooky stuff

>2016
>people have constant internet access + google in their pocket
>still don't bother to argue facts

wii mii is more accurate than what I first assumed
is it not rude to discount people of their own perception and memory
also you pretty much have to be a know it all to not fall into the same trap as the person you are attempting to enlighten

speaking of that

Every. Single. Time.

>I've recently bought an E46 M3. Haven't owned a car like this before!
>Nice. What do you think of that lovely straight 6? She makes you want to red line it all the time eh?
>V6, actually, mate.
>BMW don't make V6 cars, mmmate.
>It's a V6, "mate", it has six cylinders.
>Why does it say I6 Engine on the paperwork and not V6, then?
>Because the I means Injection.
This is an actual conversation I had with a Paki who runs a carpet shop.

>I stands for Injection
What else would it fucking be? Slathering?

I don'think you actually have ever had a real friend. You probably live in the kind of culture(maybe its just your social circle) where its all just patting eachothers' backs and trying not to step on anyone's toes. Well for most guys, belittling eachother is a form of endearment. But some people are different, they just can't handle the banter.

Also, how are you actually gonna say correcting your friend isn't being honest, but being a spineless politefag too afraid to speak some truth is? You aren't doing people any favors but letting them stay misinformed.

You are more retarded than the Paki

probably got the SMG

It's funny hearing you lonely basement dwellers talk about "social interactions" you have once a month.

>Talk with car mechanic at work to try and learn some auto stuff.
>He tries and makes conversation about computers and general IT stuff despite everything he says not being correct since the 80s.

I just take it as a compliment that he at least tries though.

this is true

someone said they liked my car and that was the highlight of my week

Please explain how would fuel be introduced to the combustion chambers apart from FUCKING INJECTION?

To be fair the i on models such as the 335i means fuel injected, however this is absent on models like the M3 and 335d so I could see how an idiot would get confused

Carburettor.

Well, that was easy. Not like anyone uses them anymore.

>Good friend of mine is 100% sure a BRZ has a turbo charged 300 hp engine with AWD and a differential that allows you to switch from AWD to RWD to FWD whenever you want.

why does this turn me on wtf

We got another one.
Bag em and tag em boys.

That is not the point of the "I" in "I6" you FUCKING RETARD

>guy I know that fixes cars on the side helps me fix a few things in my Grand Marquis
>start talking a bit with him
>"yeah those dual overhead cam V8's are really bulletproof."
>but Denny, it's an SOHC design, there's only one cam over each head.
>"Yeah, but that's two cams total. If there was two over each head that'd be a quad overhead cam design."
>mfw I can't tell if he's joking or not

It used to mean that because back then diesel cars didn't have direct injection. It doesn't mean that anymore since every engine in thye BMW lineup has direct injection, it's just a naming convention BMW have stuck to because people generally know the "i" means "gasoline/petrol" and the d means "diesel"

>saying retard in 2016
Back to jerk.

Neither of you are wrong, but for specificity's sake he's more right than you are.

...

You know damn well what I mean.

>advertizing your power level

I know, I'm just being pedantic.

You could just say to him that v engines with single cams per bank are still refered to as SOHC and it's unusual (but not unheard of) to refer to DOHC Vs as quad cam engines. If he argues even more then accept you're dealing with a guy who's probably a little old fashioned and traditional.

...

There's a difference telling people you prefer studio Milky's high quality hentai OVAs like Innocent Lovers and Afterclass Lesson to shit like Kyoani's moeblob K-on series when discussing anime with normalfags than correcting a fucking retard spouting nonsense about cars.

He's very old school, so I'm guessing that's what it is. I don't argue because he's free and I'm broke. But I've hade worse...

>guy I used to work with called Ed
>Ed bullshits. A lot.
>tells me I shouldn't buy a police Crown Vic
>"Oh yeah, I know Ed, I'm just not interested in a--"
>"Well you shouldn't because they have to convert them to regular gas."
>wut
>"This CV's, they've got diesel engines in them for more power, but when they go to civilians they have to change those over to gas and sometimes it doesn't really work."

If this wasn't Veeky Forums I could share more stories, but I dealt with this brand of bullshit every day.

>>>/facebook/

Post them. Shit like this sure beats GMBTFO and >greentext-about-a-car-attribute+reaction-image threads.

Haven't seen LPG around for a bit, so I'm craving some greentext story goodness.

Oh yeah, LPG is gone. Welp no reason to be on this board anymore. See ya fags.

Has he actually openly stated he's done with Veeky Forums? Fuck

He's not working at a dealership anymore, so I think he dropped his tripcode.

Fuck it, if /k/ can have EMT I'll post this here.

So, for context: When I met Ed, I worked in a casino, first as a Keno writer, then an ATM filler/customer punching bag. My very first encounter with him:
>back in the Keno booth, dead Tuesday night
>Ed walks up, introduces himself, we talk
>find out right off the bat he's a pseudo weab
>this is OK because fuck it I'm on Veeky Forums you guess why
>he asks me about some show, and I respond "wakarimasen"
>"huh?"
>Oh, sorry man, I'm just being si--
>"Oh, that was Japanese right?"
>Yeah, yeah it was!
>"OK it must just be in a different dialect."
>he goes on to explain that he's fluent in Japanese, just not the dialect that wakarimasen is from
Find out, he's done this before.
>we have another guy that's a legit Russian. Born and raised, but he moved over to the states when he was young enough that the accent doesn't show through
>Ed, like everyone who like military things (more on that later), has a near-fetish for Russian anything, and has picked up a few catchphrases, like "Doe Spitanya" and "Borjumoy."
>he lets one go in front of Russian man, who replys
>Instead of doing what literally anyone else would in that situation and say something like "I only know that one phrase, sorry," he goes on to ask Russian to repeat what he just said.
>"Oh, sorry, I don't speak that dialect of Russian."
>find out he did this to a spanish speaker too

He quit his sales job, so no more stories

The end of a fucking era. First frolo, now this.

Ed is suffering from classic narcissistic personality disorder. Jesus Christ.

Someone saved what they could find in the archives and made a .pdf here:

82.199.155.15/pdf/Tales From The Dealership.pdf

It's not all of them, but still has some of the good ones.

Yeah there's literally no reason to browse Veeky Forums anymore, unless you really enjoy gtr vs corvette threads

I've been reading the shit on /qa/ and that shit is mentioned a lot but nobody fucking does shit to curtail it. Goldenface, fastestlaps, Al spamming gay porn all the time, the rampant Ford shilling... nobody fucking does shit.

It's so sad Veeky Forums had to go out like this.

>Ed is a security gaurd at the casino, I'm now at this point in the ATM department
>we're working nights, which means we have to replenish the ATMs and audit them
>this is about 2 hours long, and requires a gaurd to be with us at all times, meaning that every now and then, we're stuck with Ed for 2 hours
>normally this isn't a problem, since he's nice enough, but tonight it's going to be another wonderful experience
>Ed starts by talking about his glory days working in the county jail, and how he had all the Latin Kings inside totally down with him, and one time they protected him during a major prison riot
>never mind the fact that we all live in the middle of nowhere, and there hasn't been a riot in County in, well, ever
>he now talks about cars, and how he really wants an AWD Taurus for his "security gig."
>come to find out Ed is a "security gaurd," and he has a full compliment of guns, gear, and now needs a car to put it all in

>after prodding find out he works as a bouncer in a bar
>except he's actualy a security gaurd, not a bouncer, and he's actually offended a little that we'd dare to call him that
>Ed, don't you keep order in a bar?
>"Yeah, so?"
>Well, typically, security in a bar is just called the bouncer
>"No, I'm Security, it's different."
