Question: How's your transmission holding up?

Answer:

 

I'm waiting for someone to ask me if I'm Joe Gibbs.

 

I have a 91 s-10 that is badly rusted with a 350, and I have a beautiful 93 Sonoma with a 2.8L. People keep asking me why I want to put a 350 in it. All I can respond with is, "WHY NOT?"

OK, maybe it isn't a big deal, but I have heard it 12 times today.


I did have someone ask me if the 91 came from the factory with the 350.

The trash guy was standing right beside the truck starring at the back tires and asked me if it had slicks on it. Um, dude, really your standing right there, your a supposed to be a car guy and you can't tell if they are slicks or not. For the record, it has street tires on it.

 

I dont really get bothered too much in town. But let me go into Autozone for a part and I the stupid meter needle spins 3 times and then snaps off.

Me: I need part # 12345678
Him: What vehicle?
Me: Its custom, just grab part # 12345678
Him: Sir I need to know what car it's on to look it up
Me: 2002 Tahoe
Him: 4.8 or 5.3?
Me: 6.0 supercharged
Him: Uh...
Me: Look for the cammed one, might say 4l80e
Him: I don't see any of that
Me: Really?
Him: No sir
Me: Is there a choice for "The customer knows what he needs and that's why he asked for it in the first place?"
Him:
Me: Its custom, just grab part # 12345678

And you might laugh but the problem is is happens ALL the time
I love when I get the guys who are one chromosome away from Down Syndrome telling me what I have in my truck and what part I need.

 

"dude your truck sounds good what do you have a 5.3?"

me: stfu

 

A big boy motor will solve that problem then you'll just keep getting asked all these other stupid questions, but at least it won't be a kick in the junk every time they ask.

 

WANNA SELL IT??

Guess I'll ad my best one. It's about my LT1 car, but funny nonetheless. Worked for a paint and body shop years back and had the Camaro on the trailer behind my truck ready to go racing. Used their pressure washer to clean everything up, while wiping it down, some of my co-workers came by to check out the car and what not. Our shipping/receiving KID at the time had a ragged out 94-98 V6 Mustang. He comes by and tells me he was buying a V6 Camaro "just like mine". I laughed and said thats cool or something to that effect, and politely reminded him mine was a Z28, with the V8 motor in it. He said "Ohhhhhh, well I wanna make mine loud tho and fast like yours, anything I can do to it???" Without hesitation, I told him "Jegs make a 2 cylinder bolt-on kit for like $2000. You should look into that!" Immediately, he walks to his office and gets on the computer. The other employees snickered and waited until he was far enough away and then damn near died laughing once he was in his office. It is still a joke to this day...the Jegs 2 Cyl. Bolt-On Kit.

 

my dumbest question i was ever asked was after i walked on this rich guys BMW....after the run we got stopped at another street light,he asked me wtf do you have in that thing? i told him a 4.8 LS...his response was wow that thing sounds awsome for a 6cylinder...i was in shock and prob gave him the dumbest look hes probably ever seen lol

 

I just got the SSS replica wheels and a friend said, " you finally got the two S's truck wheels" took me a minute to understand that, I never heard of anyone saying "two S's" instead of SS.
