I cant stand people who think they know what their talking about. So Im talking to my friend Shannon tonight, and she is at her boyfriends while he replaces the trans in his sweet ******* 3rd gen camero. Anyways, me and him get talking, and he is asking about my car and what not, and I tell him about it, and we get on the subject of LS1 stock 1/4 times and he says "oh man there is no way those cars can run 12s stock" your car should be about 14.50s stock. Im crackin up over here, and then we get on the subject of driveshafts since Im also doing my trans swap right now, and I tell him about my new ACPT Carbon Fiber driveshaft, and he says "Man thats no good, cf is just fiberglass it will break the first time it sees some real power, you wuld be alot better off with aluminum" Im like listen here dirtball, and I got into this big *** arguement and I basically school him pretty bad and he just stops talking to me. Im so angry right now, its no wonder this kid drives a 305 car. 
End Rant.

Most of the time i run into that with the older crowd that think they know what they are talking about when they are talking about newer cars.
"I had to pay XXX.XX amount to have spark plugs put in my car because they have to analyze the computer while they are doing it"
"is that a 4 speed camaro?" "WTF?" they havn't put a four speed in a car in how many years??

Arguements get you know where. I've always kept my mouth shut and let the idiot that thinks my car runs 15's ramble on.
Then race his piece of **** and prove it.
I HAD a fast car, I never answered anyones questions about it.

Its cool. Those old school guys (the ones who can't acclimate to the new school tech) have their place. And that place just happens to be my rear view mirror.
