Car Exaggeration Stories
We have all met "that car guy" who apparently has buckets of cash to mod their insane collection of race cars. I met one of these warlocks at my local Walmart market last night.
I was shooting the shit while getting cashed out and asked him, "do you go to school around here?" (we have a local college nearby), and he said "nah I go to blah blah auto school". So I asked him "what do you drive?".... man apparently I need to touch up my resume and send it to Walmart because this guy's race car collection would make Jay Leno look like a petty hobo. He goes on to explain how he has a 600hp 2001 FORD FOCUS. Excuse me, it dyno'd at 598. My BS sensor is blaring but I decide to go along with it. "single turbo setup? or?....". "nah man all motor, NA". Right. But wait.... That's not his only beast. Apparently he doesn't drive it to work much but a sleeper 800hp Dodge Dacota twin turbo V6 is waiting in his garage. At this point I flat out said "bullshit.". Anyone got a more ridiculous story than this? |

Go to Walmart meet stupid people. Your lucky you made it out of the parking lot without your car all dented up.

At our last meet I had a guy with a 98' 325i tell me that he beat an M4 in a "race". I told him that the M4 probably didn't know he was racing. And then last week I went to a another meet with a buddy who has an LS3 swapped E30 and this guy was checking it out and telling us how he too had an LS swapped E30 making 800HP,

Kid I went to high school with had a 1500 hp Eagle Talon, but he only drove it at night time because it was illegal to have that much power apparently. He got all that power from NOS of course, and he had a sticker that said NOS to prove it..

There was this kid at my gym that bragged to anyone who would listen, about how his Civic SI destroys 335s, S4s, G37s, you name it.. His mods where an intake, an exhaust, and a whole lot of BS.

His mistake was not adding a wing and lots of window stickers from ebay, those are the real power mods

To me, having a random solicitor talk at me about their car is similar to the ones that talk about their kids. Talk all you want but if I don't know you, there's a very high chance I'm not paying attention to a thing you're saying.

The best story I've heard was some guy back in NY had a stock 07 E90 328xi. Claimed to tell me from the factory it had 330 HP and he was beating new Mustangs (circa 2010/2011). |

I always feel bad for these people.
I'll never forget the time I was at a kids birthday party that I drove my Exige to because it was a gorgeous weekend. About an hour into the party a kid found out it was my car and said "my dad said your car is a poor man's Ferrari." ...they drove a Mercury Sable to the party. Some people are just so fucking insecure.

The only people I've met like this are the Subaru, Honda, and VW fanboys between the ages of 16 - early 20s. Their entire lives revolved around their stupid ugly car; unsurprisingly most didn't do much after high school.

Our magnificent (not) team enters to the same rally every five years or so, and every time he refuses to buy our car (maybe worth 200 bucks and even that is being generous) and refuses to stfu.
