After I helped my brother install his headers on his prelude, we went out to test drive it to see how it felt. On of my brother's little ricer friends who has a civic with stock wheels (no hubcaps though, those weighed the car down too much, I swear to GOD that's what he said) and some ****ty exhaust I sold him, rolled up next to us at a red light, he started talking to my brother who told him that we just installed the headers in the car, to which he replied "kewl, now you can get a turbo to fit!". His heart was in the right place, but his head was insanely up his azz, he was like arguing with me when I tried to explain to him that you can't use both in the same setup. I don't know why, but he tried to race us after that, like if he won it would prove his point, we beat him like he was a red-headed stepchild.
Another incident was with my friend's brother's little friend, who is 16 and owns a 94 supra NA, which came with 18" blitz rims (there is no justice in this world). His parents paid 30k to have it shipped here from new york. Anways, I spent like half an hour trying to explain to him how a car works, I popped open his hood and showed him "this is the intake, air goes in through here to the throttle body, into the intake manifold, and so forth". After half an hour of talking to him, I was hoping to have inspired him in some way to start making his car go faster, maybe start doing some work under the hood. After all that, he asked me " Is it harder to do a Silvy (yes, it's a silvy, not silvia) headlight conversion than a skyline? Cause skylines look kewl, but if its too hard then I'll just do a silvy conversion". I've never wanted to bytch-slap anyone so hard in my whole life. Same thing goes for a friend of mine who owns a 91 300zx tt and doesn't understand shyt about cars but still wants to work on it. Maybe if I stopped caring about cars so much, I'd wake up with an FD in my garage istead of my civic, that seems to be the pattern, no one my age who appericiates or deserves a nice car gets them, but these ignorant ricers seem to be getting them left and right.....
