[cdacda13]

Cut the VSS and with a highway long and straight enough, anything is possible.
Seriously, He's a bull******

[Knipps]

gotta love people..

[DaSkinnyGuy]

gotta love people..

funny part is it took him 2 mins to give me a response after he found out I had an equal car. Even if there had been some tuning done to the computer I highly doubt a 2.8L would go any faster than 140mph. I can't believe i am going to be living with this kid.

[Knipps]

Welcome to the real world :lol:

[DaSkinnyGuy]

Some one needs to toss this kid the B.S. flag because he would be the best one to wave it high and proud with honor.

[Mike]

dude hes probably ****ing with you

[DaSkinnyGuy]

dude hes probably ****ing with you

Honestly i think this kid is thinking hes being serious. This is the first time we talked.

[Mike]

yeah? and your going to school to work on performance cars right? to get into school he would have to know enough to not be dumb enough to say that ****, he is messing with you

[DaSkinnyGuy]

Yea we only hope so that he is because I have to live with this kid. I just found this so funny when he said this i couldnt resist posting this up to see what others had to say.

[maroman88]

LOL

[IROCdan330]

yeah? and your going to school to work on performance cars right? to get into school he would have to know enough to not be dumb enough to say that ****, he is messing with you

Actually Mike, from my experience with UTI...

they let just about anyone in there who claims they have an automotive interest and no criminal record.

there is much worse at the actual school.

[Frosty]

Have fun with that clown, lol.

[jims69camaro]

sounds like a fun year ahead of him, then... just don't talk about cars, and everything will be alright. at least until he starts talking about his super-model girlfriend. and his stacks o' cheddar he's hoarding. and the mercedes he's driving, but that's at home now because he's in school and doesn't need a car...

:mrgreen:

[Savage_Messiah]

and the mercedes he's driving


.......


why would that necessarily be BS?

[DaSkinnyGuy]

nearly everyone on thirdgen.org pulled the bs flag on this. One guy said that he might hit 160 if the camaro was dropped out the back of an airplane, basically even if the ecu was modifed that there isnt enough power from the motor to allow it to push foward because of the aerodyamics of the camaro. The car would have to have alot mo powa to be able to allow the motor to rev higher to reach that kind of speed with the gears it has.

[BigAls87Z28]

I think he is yankin your chain. That, or maybe he had a Canadian car, or is talking about km/h. Either way, dont worry about it.

[97slpss]

He may not know much...but you have to live with the kid haha, so don't make him feel stupid or its going to be akward. Hopefully you get what im saying

[Mike]

lol whos dumber? the kid that said it or the kid that so worried about it that he posted on 2 forums and its going on its second day?

[WildBillyT]

He may not know much...but you have to live with the kid haha, so don't make him feel stupid or its going to be akward. Hopefully you get what im saying

Times a million. Don't start **** with your roommate until you are sure he is cool. If this is the first time you are talking with him you don't know him well enough to start busting his balls. He is probably trying to mess with you since you are kind of coming off as a know it all (no offense).

[Untamed]

He may not know much...but you have to live with the kid haha, so don't make him feel stupid or its going to be akward. Hopefully you get what im saying

Yeah I was going to make the same point. Regardless of his experience and knowledge, better to simply get along with him ona social level then let attrition remove those who simply can't cut it. Or... let him learn without feeling shown up by his roomates. :-? Remember its a school - you go there to learn.

Good luck! Bench racing is best with those who know what you're talking about.

[Savage_Messiah]

Oh yeah my last post said nothing about the OP. He's definitely ****ing around with you dude. Probably seeing if you'd get all uptight and rattle off specs... like you did :lol:... or if you'd joke along with it

The main line that makes me pretty sure of this is the one about stripping the interior and sitting on a milk crate :rofl:, plus sayign that only works in a beater car. Probably a funny kid.

[Savage_Messiah]

PS bodys isn't a word... it's f-bodies

[bubba428]

are you going to UTI???? cause they let anybody with a BS car story join.

[Savage_Messiah]

urinary tract infection? :lol:

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

are you going to UTI???? cause they let anybody with a BS car story join.

The NTI branch but yes he is.

[DaSkinnyGuy]

It was just that moment that was happening last night that I couldnt believe what I had heard. I felt you guys would enjoy some humor out of this. Yea i am sure it was dumb on my part for going crazy like this, but this will just be a warning. I need to get to know this kid some more, hopefully he was yanking my chain just to see if I would believe him, which I didnt. But o well.

[madness410]

im going to go ahead and just assume this kid is an idiot...

[bubba428]

yea...he is a tool

[V]

eh, one of my best friends back in the day swore up and down his 2003 s10 xtreme came factory on a corvette frame....
at matts on saturday a kid said he had a 2006 stang GT that did 13.2 @ 124mph.... i started in on him a bit then decided to give up and play with the fire instead.

I see it all the time and just shrug it off. Personally it amuses me especially when these people have some type of actual training in the subject, tech school or such. Those here who know me would agree that i know quite a bit more than the average car person and thats with no school ever for this stuff.

[jims69camaro]

.......


why would that necessarily be BS?

it was all about this kid grabbing someone's pics and posting up on a mercedes board like the pics were his car, then he started talking about his super model girlfriend, then she shows up and is like, who is this kid? it was funny, but you had to be there at the time watching the major can of PWNAGE that got opened up on this kid... all because he misrepresented himself as some big timer hoarding the cheddar and driving a mercedes...

so, no, it wouldn't necessarily be BS, but if it turned out to be the same kid... :rofl:

No ****** :rofl: Have fun at UTI. If I ever decide I want to have a mechanical career, I would go to SAM

[DaSkinnyGuy]

Without a doubt SAM is the school to go to if you want to be a machinist, but if you want to be an ASE dealership mechanic then UTI is the school.

[Jersyboyy]

lol whos dumber? the kid that said it or the kid that so worried about it that he posted on 2 forums and its going on its second day?

HAHAHAHA good point.
Honestly I think you got a kid who wants to be cool and is full of BS. That kids probally never been in a car going 160. A buddy of mine is going to UTI next year, he's dumb as nails when it comes to well just about anything especially cars!

[Mike]

Without a doubt SAM is the school to go to if you want to be a machinist, but if you want to be an ASE dealership mechanic then UTI is the school.

theres other ways to do that if you just wanna work at a dealership

[DaSkinnyGuy]

theres other ways to do that if you just wanna work at a dealership

Yes but thats not my goal and dream, still not a bad choice if you get into a good dealership.

[IROCdan330]

and if you are dead set on working for a particular manufacturer, UTI is the in for the programs...Granted, going to all of the other tech-schools you can have a chance, but you absolutely need to be at the top of your game, where as if you go to UTI and have good attendance, you are pretty much in with any one of them. Porsche PTAP or whatever its called only takes like 15 kids in the country, all of which will come from UTI.
