Im sorry but I seriously break these people down, make them mad at me then pay for their ticket at the local strip and teach them a thing or two. Seriously false information should be a crime.... damn

Who is slower...the guy recording the vid or the owner of the Sunfire?

it through life?

That was absolutely retarded...
The guy recording had to have been joking. He mentioned 3mm Apex seals (rotary seals), which leads me to believe he knows what he's doing and he's just trying to get the sunfire owner to say something stupid.

I kinda started to feel sorry for him because I bet that shop he is taking the car to is probably talking him into these stupid mods and raping him on the prices and installs.

Stupid video... I can't believe I sat through half of it before I couldn't take any more. Obviously not everyone in the world is knowledgeable about cars, the fact he drives a Sunfire should have given that away.

That's exactly what he was doing. Did you hear his kinda sarcastic tone the whole time. I think that was kinda mean, yea it was funny but I kinda felt bad for him too. He is just slow and like cars but doesn't have any guidance.

definitely feel bad for him...

the only reason his car is like that is because of the mass amounts of misguided info that shop is giving him... plans for removed governors, monster cans, aluminum frame, dual air induction etc.

He never once fell for the stupid comments from the camera guy, he openly admitted it was FWD with a wing, had mass amounts of overspray, and tops out at 110mph. Hell he even admitted that his air intake was a POS autozone special.

i've seen worse.

When he backed away from the car to get a better view and said "I'm happy with this", I felt really bad. It's just sad that some of these kids have nothing to go by other than Fast and Furious movies and what some shop tells them they need to do to their car.

That was to damn funny, i think the kid was slow too. I liked how the camera guy was openly talking to the guy like he was such a tool and the guy never caught onto any of it. Good stuff. some people just need to be bashed!

Let me get this straight, you're saying that people who may be a little challenged mentally deserved to be bashed?

Maybe we should start a Collection Fund to help him out...

Maybe even get his govenor removed or the aluminum frame....

I know if we pull together we can help this guy out!!!




...or maybe we should start by finding him and just giving him some actual HELPFUL information.

Who's with me!?!?

Well technically we don't know if he is mentally challenged or not. . just seemed car dumb to me. I've seen more than one person like this guy. The camera guy was never openly mean to him, dunno why ppl are making a big deal about it
