People are fucking stupid (can I say that?).
I work at a performance auto store - aka speed shop. We sell aftermarket performance products and accesories, everything from camshafts and carbeurators to intakes and ground effects. But we get some real friggin morons in the store...

*ring*
Me: "The Enthusiast"
Them: "Do you carry brue bulbs?"
Me: "Yes."
Them: "How brue are dey?"
Me: "Blue."
Them: "Light brue or dark brue?"
Me: "B-L-U-E."
*click*

or this... (feel free to insert any trendy item in here)

*ring*
Me: The Enthusiast.
Them: Can I get clear tail lights for my '83 Corolla?
Me: No, they don't make them for your car.
Them: So you don't have any in stock?
Me: No, they are not available for your car.
Them: So you can't get any?
Me: You cannot get clear tail lights for your car.
Them: You mean you don't have ANY?
Me: No one makes clear tail lights for an '83 Corrola.
Them: Ok I'll try back tomorrow. *click*

sigh... I propose we start the search for terrestrial intelligence, who gives a flying fuck about extra terrestrial beings...

*pulls out bigger gun*
*ka-blam* *ka-blam* *ka-blam*

edit: Speedy reply by the way jiggy... I think this is the first thread I've started that's gotten a reply.
<celebrates>
Yay(!)
</celebrates>

Oh, just in case anyone was wondering (I'm sure you weren't), I moved. See my From: for my new address.

edit #2: just remembered one of my favorites (this is based on an actual call!):

*ring*
Me: "The Enthusiast."
Them: "Can I put 24 inch wheels on an '87 Civic?"
Me: "Hold on, let me check."
*checks computer*
Me: "Nope."
Them: "I can't? What if I cut out the wheel wells?"
Me: "They don't make 24 inch wheels with the right offset for your car."
Them: "Can I space them out?"
Me: "If you want your wheels to fall off. Not to mention you'd have so little tire on the wheel that you would bend a wheel at every pot hole."
Them: "That's ok, how much is it?
Me: "Wheels, tires, mounting, balancing, lugs nuts... everything... comes to about 񙶀."
Them: "Ok thanks," *click*

What a fucking waste of my time.

do you guys sell stuff for sport bikes. Cause theres some really stupid people with those. Some one told me he got carbon fiber ram air ducts for his bike.

Me: whats the weight difference.
Him: None.
Me: whats the difference in bore.
Him: theyre the exact same size.
Me: So they just look cool?
Him: No they make it faster.
Me: How?
Him: They're carbon fiber.
Me: But theyre the same size and weight as the old ones.
Him: But these are carbon fiber, so they make it faster.
Me: So youve fallen off alot huh?

Colt 45 and two zig zags, baby thats all we need. We can go to the park after dark and smoke that tumble weed. As the marijuana burn we can take our turn, singing them dirty rap songs. Stop and hit the bong like cheech and chong, and sell tapes from here to hong kong.

Wow. That's one major dumbass.
Speaking of carbon fiber...

Nice carbon fiber wing there buddy... ~軸

"I was and am still on a very limited budget, so I chose looks and style over performance."

Poor choice in car then, I'd say. No style or performance in that ugly motha.

You should drop a 350 out of an old chevy pickup and a 5 speed auto or 6 speed manual transmission out of a wrecked camaro into your Tercel jiggy. That could be interesting

Ok, what the fuck. I bet CowboyNeal is one of those brue bulb morons. He sure does give new meaning to the term lam0r.

And I wasn't dissing your car. I just don't like the bling-bling trend going on right now - Take a 躔 car and add 񙖰 in wheels and tires, 񙇈 in stereo, 񘘐 in ground effects and wings, then, run out of money for a paint job. What's even worse is it's spilling over into real car territory now too. I never thought I'd see a < Rice Trans Am >. Sigh.

I own a Tercel. I've never had any desire to add on :

- a spoiler. I'm sure it needs one, though. I mean the engine delivers up to 90hp!!! Wow!!!

- A subwoofer. A decent one would probably double the weight of the car.

- Xenon lights. Tercels eat headlights as it is. No point in letting it eat expensive ones. (However, I did angle the headlights down so I could use the high beams all the time )

- Racing gear, like special pedals or a kewl pain job. IT'S A TOYOTA TERCEL, GOD DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!

Not that I don't love my baby, but seriously. Get a life.


Posted by pengu1nn on Jul. 16 2001,16:18
do you sell any parts for a 91 celica gt-s? i don't want any dress up bullshit (tail lights, wings) but i do want a conversion kit to make mine like the all-trac turbo celicas. also a motor rebuild kit, a cam with a power range between 2000 and 5500 rpms. superchargers? chips? anything? right now i need a set of wires to finish my tune up, do you sell good wires cheap? autozone has a set for ๖ so somewhere around there.
Posted by Greasemonk on Jul. 16 2001,16:27
Haha, id be laughing if I worked at a place like that.

Customer: yo yo yo, how much HP duz dis spoiler add?
Me: umm none.
Customer: yo yo yo, how much HP duz ground efecs add?
Me: umm none.
Customer: yo yo yo, how much HP does diz big tailpipe add?
Me: ummmm none really it just makes your car sound like a loud lawnmower.

hrm... i can relate. i work in the IT department of some < company's > manufactoring building. last week i get a request from someone (i didnt know who it was) they needed a 40 gig hard drive immediatly and if i had to order one, i could. we didnt have any spare 40 gigs, so i ordered one from office depo w/ over night mall. it was just a Western Digital drive, nothing bad about it. it turns out that the guy who wanted the drive was... well, 3 steps below the president/owned of the company. and then he goes off on me because he wanted an IBM drive. i said that Western Digital was just as good if not better, then he almost fired me. scary o_O

That has got to be the thing I hate most about working in the technology business. Dumbass managers and bosses who know next to NOTHING about technology, and then getting angry when you make a decision about a technical problem/request that isn't exactly how they thought it should have been solved, even though 99\% of the time the tech's solution is cheaper, easier, and quicker. If I was a manager at a tech company, and the end of the world was 24hrs away, I'd shoot my self before all the disgruntaled techs could get their hands on me.

demonk - I assume you've heard of an "etherkiller". Build one. Use it on your last day.

There's two people like that in my school. One has a Honda CRX and an ungodly number of subs. The other has a Suzuki that's about half the size of a normal car and an ungodly number of subs. Both are fat ugly pieces of shit, and < probably have no penis >.
