Things non-car guys say

Wet day. Push gas pedal. Look out window. See wheels spin. Much faster way to prove FWD/RWD.

We are talking about a Taurus here, the transmission would probably have popped before any wheelspin would occur.

Did he just put the rear in the air? That must have been fun....

He put all four corners in the air because he was a little unsure since not one person agreed with him. He was not a genius, hence his need to do figure it out this way...

I knew a guy in high school that thought his mid '90s for taurus was rear wheel drive… He put it on jack stands and put it into gear to prove it...

I knew a guy who swore up and down that his '02 Dodge Ram was carbureted. He literally got in it and pumped the throttle 5-10 times before starting it in the winter. And when it didn't start, he said it was flooded.

Turns out his truck just had a million miles on it and was never maintained.

My ex and this girl I've been chatting up had no clue cars had computers in them.

"My car is in the shop this week."

No self-respecting car guy says this sentence.


I've never had that problem.

I can understand if you are getting rust repaired, or exhaust work done. But as far as general maintenance, I agree.

"Why do you drive sideways up hills"

Well officer, it`s much more fun that way

The most annoying thing to me is talking to someone who is believes their car is equipped with something it's not. Eg. swearing up and down their car has a V6 when I know they were only sold with 4-cylinders (Ford Focus in this case). Or that their BMW is certainly not rear wheel drive thank you very much

My dad gets me sometimes too. When I had air suspension I knew he thought it was stupid but he kept quiet about it - I also didn't air out at their place so he never saw it on the ground.

This is the man I've restored two cars with now (MGB and Mini) but he still gets confused about tire sizes and how you can run a larger wheel without upsetting the tach/odometer readings

Lastly he is convinced that all-season tires are fine for Canadian winters but wouldn't dream of having a year-round rear-wheel drive car because it would be too unstable in the snow. I drive on winter tires every year and have explained them and their benefits to rear-wheel drive multiple times.

" how did du manage to get stuck on 10cm of snow?" My boss when i got stuck in mye driveway with my lowered e39

"I feel like no one modifies their car after high school…"

[MrJereMoose]

"Wouldn't it make more sense to have one new car that didn't break down instead of {insert number here} that are always breaking?"

"Can you make it bounce?"

[MommysLittleMonster]

"my starter went out"

no one who has said this has had a bad starter

And when they do have a bad starter, no one is smart enough to bump start it (if they drove a car with a manual transmission).

" I thought only gays and hair dresser's drove Miata's "

Haha.. jokes.. less manly.. etc.. etc..

Never by stranger's but all my non car guy "bro's" and co'worker's I know are good for the typical Miata pun's.



I love my girly car
