The story of the ugly cat
>Once upon a time there was a cat. It was ugly.

>my car is semi-automatic
>I need 4wd, it just makes the car so much more imposing
>Most cars have engines in the front, because it's easier to pull things than it is to push

I think that last one broke me.

>friend turned 17
>got a car within weeks because he is spoiled by his parents
>asks me to inspect the engine bay and tell him if anything needs replaced/repaired
>pops the hood and looks into the engine bay
>"The turbo looks a bit dirty don't you think? Might have to clean it"
>thefuck.jpg
>I look at him with a confused face and tell him it doesn't have a turbo, it's a 1.4 petrol engine
>"Yeah it does, look" he says
>mfw he points to the fucking alternator.

I have a friend who wants to turn his hybrid fwd Toyota into a drift car
He had no idea how drivelines work and just assumed all cars were 4x4

I assumed all cars were 4x4 when I was like 9

>I need 4wd, it just makes the car so much more imposing
I think silverados for a while had a lot of rake if you had the 2wd version and not if you had 4wd

>Bro watch out for that mustang!
>points to 7th gen Dodge Charger

>brz has can be awd, fwd, or rwd with a push of a button

Most trucks you can still tell which are 4x4 due to a 1-2 inches of extra ground clearance.

>Man that camero is sick
Referring to any American import

>nah m8 oldsmobile is shit they never even had a V8
Someone unironically said this once

NO REPLACEMENT FOR DISPLACEMENT

I thing the worst was from a drivers ed teacher. Guy was a 500lb waste of space.
>drove a blue convertible pt cruiser

>"specially built by chevy as a race version"
Claims hes on a diet
>opens the door and a crap-ton of mcdonalds and candy wrappers fall out
>carmax stickers still on it

I like how it’s an idiotic statement on more than one level

Lmfao, what?

>pull up to a small cars and coffee meet with my friend
>park next to a Z32 and friend gets all excited because he likes them
>we get out and he's over to it a few seconds before me
>asks me if it's twin turbo or not before I even get over to it
>look at the engine bay and so "oh shit, it's RB25 swapped"
>friend busts a nut and starts freaking out because it has the engine from a skyline in it
>spends about a half hour talking to the owner asking all kinds of questions about it and stuff
>owner mentions that he's had a ton of offers on it and doesn't want to sell it, but if he had to put a price on it, he'd say $15k
>whole way home and the day after my friend just keeps talking about it and saying he wants to buy it
>actually think he might do it if he wasn't so stingy


It was kind of annoying that he was so worked up over a car that he knew absolutely nothing about, and the fact that he wanted to own something built by someone else. He couldn't even tell that it was swapped because he doesn't know the visual difference between a V6 and in I6.

Talking to a guy at my school about his Genesis Coupe. Ask him what kind of engine it has,
>It’s got an inline V6
>Well that doesn’t make any sense
>It’s a mod they did at the dealership, makes it go faster

>Mfw I've actually met more than one person who's called their engine a inline v4 or some other variation

You don't have to lie dude I've seen the 3 turbos picture before.

Most normies don't know what a turbo is let alone what it looks like, would not point to an alternator and assume it was one

Jesus I hope you people are lying.

Based on how much people talk about the Z32's engine bay being cramped, it's pretty crazy to see how a RB26 fits.
