Default Anyone hate know it alls

Well I'm setting around at a friends house, somehow my car gets brought up into the subject. Oh an lt1 is the same as any old sbc, i said no it's not, the reply was yes it is lt1 cylinder heads can be put on an 350 an run. I said no it uses reverse flow cooling it wouldn't be worth it to change it. He's like all that is, is a serpentine belt an i wa slooking at him like WTF. Since our water pump isn't even driven by a belt. Then he's like even my 4.3 use reverse flow cooling i said no it does not. Then he goes on to qoute me that our friends mom owns a 99 trans am, which he says its a 350 i correct him say its a 346. Then he goes on about how nothing is exactly wright, nothing is exactly a 350, i said yeah your wright it probably comes down to one ten thousandeth of an inch or less. He's like some will be a 346 or 347 or 345. I look at him with this dumb look, and he's just like what? How do you just get this people to shut the **** up. He even told me that antifreeze runs though my intake, i said you wanna beat, i got a stock intake at home ill beat you 100that it doesn't. Then he's like it has really small holes it runs through. i said lay 100down ill prove it to you

Stop hanging out with dumb asses or resort to violence. Some times you have to kick a chump in the mouth, thats the help they need.

savor the moment... I love listening to people like that go and go and go. Although, you definitely need another person that does know the reality in order to give a smirk and chuckle every so often.

Anyway, where's the cell phone video of this?!?! You should get some video of that guy and post it on the net. Maybe start a series using several people that are like that,... where you record their dumb comments lure them into a race ending with a LT1 win.

I used to have some friends like that, we don't really talk anymore...
I also have a mustang guy as a friend and he knows some things, but other things he is completely ignorant of but still acts like he knows it.

Oh and I also had a ricer one time tell me that a 99 Firehawk had "cams" done to it. I tried very hard not to club him.

I've met plenty. Especially when they question my 402 and how it's not possible to do a swap like that..

It's in the fckn car and it starts and drives.. what more do you need?
