so today after work i decide to stop by oreillys today to buy my engine stand, so i pay for it and the guy behind the counter ask what im buying it for, i tell him to hold a 6.0 shortblock for my truck, he asked what the truck ran, i said a 14.5 but i want to be in the 12s with the engine and bolt ons, he said that was okay but he has a "friend" with a stock 5.3, no supercharger, no turbo, no N20 and runs 10.4 in the 1/4. i asked him what was done to the truck in which he replies its a stock 5.3 with a really huge cam and a forged crank, i just grinned and walked out after he said that, i was embarassed for both of us

 

Hahahaha, you should of asked if it was in the 1/8th mile?

 

Ya and my truck goes from 0-60 in like 2.9 seconds with no second gear...
Hey you know 1/8th mile 1/4 mile there close the the same...Right?

 

damn lol, I know that there are knowledgeable auto-part guys that work at those places
(very few) But it never seems to amaze me how f**king stupid some people are. AND ITS ALWAYS THERE FRIENDS, "MY FRIEND HAS THIS BLAH BLAH" im beginning to wonder if they only require you to know what a dip stick is!

 

ya ive noticed that, always there friend, like one "friend" at an autozone had a stock mustang gt with gears exhaust intake and tune and 2.73 gears ran low 11s, man i hate people

 

he asked me if my time was in the 1/4 and i said yes so i assumed he meant 1/4 as well

 

Those kind of people are exactly the reason I always know exactly what I need, part numbers and all before I go in. I have learned way too many times that if I don't tell them exactly what I need, I end up with the wrong parts. Heck I have even had them look up the wrong part number for a light bulb. The guy tried to tell me that the old round base style would fit in my 2003....lol

 

Started doing that when I started my swap project. I don't ask what goes, I ask for them to go get! Dumb-azzes here near me don't know how to change a flat tire, let alone advise me on autoparts.

 

LOL Thats great man LOL

 

I have an employee at work that is kind of like that. Said he had a 64 Ford Falcon, in which I asked him if it had a V6 or a V8. He told me that it had a V6, I just looked at him and smiled...lol..I still don't know if he understands it would be a straight six or not.

I also sent this same guy to Advance Auto to look for some bondo in a can. I told him that it smoothed itself out and required no sanding or additional work. Just spray the bondo in a can on and paint over it. I have a friend at Advance that played along with it as well.
