What's the dumbest instance of someone who clearly knew nothing about cars trying to argue about cars?

I'll go first
>be me
>telling someone about the issues I encountered replacing brake lines in my car
>tells him that it is leaking because the pedal is firm when pressed but slowly sinks to the floor
>tells me that it isn't leaking and there is actually air in the lines
>I tell him no, and say that if there was air in the lines the pedal would feel spongy instead
>he asks me to describe the issue again
>listens intently
>tells him once again that the pedal is firm when pressed, but slowly sinks to the floor as if loosing line pressure
>says while shaking his head "That's not a leak."
>Yes it is!
>becomes all serious "Dude, there's air in your brakes. I've worked on brakes before, I know what air in the brakes looks like"
>idiocy.jpg
>I tell him brake fluid has also visibly dripped onto the ground at the leak site
>conversation imemmorably fizzles out with him agreeing to nothing

This place looks like an exodus happened, an unbumped thread can last for days now...
>>
>>28621925
just look at people that get bigger brake kits to make their car stop faster

Bonus when paired with people who rip out the ABS and drive small cars.

>>28621937

Where did everyone go?

>>28621957
Probably to more sophisticated boards... like >>>/pol/

>>28621953
What's wrong with driving small cars?
>>
>>28621962
Because these same people who fucked with the brakes also probably engine swapped it and/or turbo'd it, and now it doesn't have shit for traction.

It's not gonna damage anything it hits much but it's gonna flatten against anything it does hit like something out of BeamNG.

This anon is pretty fucking stupid

>Pledge brother had the last gen Accord. >Asked him what engine it had.
>He said twin turbo V6.
>Had him pop the hood and yeah, turbo 4.
>Pointed this out, he threatened to fight me.
>Side eyes between me and other pledge brother
>Go about the rest of the day
He did this multiple other times for things like getting a house's address numbers wrong.
Had a beer gut at 18, first semester GPA was 1.5. We kicked cause a chick started a fight with him and his dumbass hit her in the face, when we basically put him on probation he just dropped out of school.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone this dumb was scammed by the dealer, probably doesn't even know what an L4 looks like, either.

>Had a beer gut at 18
I hate looking like Dale Gribble with his shirt off, too. :(

He got it from his grandparents for free.
One time I cleaned all the snack wrappers and beer cans out from under the futon he slept on and hours later found 19 more beer cans under it.
He belongs in slavery.

I work for AAA. The number of people who call every day requesting a jump start because their car died on the highway is insane. "Butbutbut the battery light came on so it hassss to be a dead batteryyyyy"

Also the number of people who assume they have a spare tire because "of course it does, it's a brand new car".
>>
>>28622118
>I work for AAA
my mate works for the AA (UK equivalent), and his most wild story was getting called out to a service station on the motorway to a woman who complained of 'massive vibration above 60mpg'.
The rear o/s wheel had lost 4 out of 5 lug nuts, and the last lug nut had about 2 turns left.
Mental.

>Also the number of people who assume they have a spare tire because "of course it does, it's a brand new car".
This shouldn't even be their fault... but if they learned how to change a spare tire, you wouldn't have to be the one to tell them.
>>
>>28622127
*mpg=mph
>>
>>28622131
>Yes, if I'm in low gear at 7k RPM there's no vibration, only when I'm driving at the same speed in D.
>>
>>28622132
kek
he never found out why the lug nuts had gone, she said she'd had no work done since new tyres a year ago.
>>
>>28622136
Mechanic must've forgotten to see if they were torqued down all the way on the one side.
>>
>>28622137
Could be many things. Dodgy mechanic? Jilted lover? Workplace drama?
>>
>>28622139
Either way, wouldn't want this happening.

At my dealership we had a tech who asked for a bank 1 O2 sensors. It's a 4 cylinder with one cat and 2 sensors. I ask which one. He thinks bank 1 means front sensor and will not admit that he is wrong. This happens 3 or 4 times while he's working here

Greek organization stuff, anon likes men

>>28621957
This board has always mostly been stupid non car people asking basic car questions, and people with vague car associations talking about it (ie dealerships, initial D, and dudebro car meets). The death of that culture coincides with the death of this board. God knows what those people are doing now(probably not giving a shit about cars)

>>28621957
People got tired of the same bait working for (you)s

You moron, there was clearly air in your tires.
