Default so called "mechanic" at my work.

Just thought this was funny. My friend has a 5.0 mustang with a 347 stroker with a bunch of stuff. not real sure exactly. Anyway he was having some problems with it and he asked our mechanic at work about it. The mechanic responded with well looks like you have too much done to the motor. take some stuff off and it will run better. HAHA funny ****. This is the same guy that told me nitrous doesnt add hp it only adds rpms so you can rev higher. He also told me once that his friend had a brand new for probe gt back in the day and they went to the track and it ran 11s cause the guy couldnt drive. He jumped in and ran an 8 in the 1/4 mile!!! Is that just fast or what lol.

I try to avoid those types, but I know my fair share and they are very annoying

reminds me of this douche bag we saw at hrp in houston. We were in the staging lanes and I was thinking about trying to line up to run him so I went over to talk to him....He told me he ran a something like a 13.6x with an CAI and a tune. But he was about to remove his headlight....I then realized he was full of **** so to test my theory i asked what his trap speed was on that 13.6...........his response,134mph.

I work at for an insulation company at a refinery and he works on our vehicles. He does more damage than good. most of our trucks run like ****. We have a ford that the he replaced the motor in and somehow got the timing really off. its the coil on plug type 4.6. he said there was no way to fix the timimg. wants it messes up then the truck is no good.

My sister in laws boyfriend is like this. A so called mechanic. Her truck was pouring water out, he told her its the water pump that went out. I looked at it, it was the lower radiator hose.

You're FIRED



How the hell does someone like that keep their job? Someone like that has no place working on a vehicle, even just changing oil and air filters, as mentioned, dipshit mechanics do more harm than good

He keeps his job cause everything that comes out of his mouth is golden to our big boss man. I think its funny when he is around cause I get alot of laughs from listening to him.
