Got some respect from the Kragen parts guy

[Supra Blues]

Went in yesterday to ask about a price on the center bearing.

After he told me they had to order it and that the price was $200 :aigo: He says:

"How fast are those things"

Me: Stock, there pretty good, but if you do some slight modding they can be real quick"

Guy: How much horsepower?

Me: I am guessing I am running about 240,thats basically stock and about 260ish torque wise. The car's kinda heavy for a sports car.

Guy: Oh, I was kinda thinking about getting one.

Me: Really, watcha got now....

Guy: -pauses- Ummm....Honda Civic.

Me: Oh.....

"So yeah.. if your car's axle was a torque wrench, it couldn't break torque for my head bolts properly."
"Yeah man! My car has like HALF of your car's torque, and most of my friends think that mine is good!"
:rofl:

I'm such an a-hole.

Wait, how is that respect? When I go to kragens, I don't even buy car parts there, I go there to get car wash stuff, kragens is a joke and the people behind the counters are all jokes, if I were got respect from someone that works at Kragens, I would be hella embarassed... aight peace :chicken:

People who work at Kragens don't need to know much about cars much like people at Blockbusters don't need to be film school students. Or people working at grocery stores need to be farmers.

This thread reminds me of the time some guy went up to a mk4 owner and asked, "how much do these cars make stock, like 300 hp?". And then someone else, I forget who said, "ricer"

No shit. I bought a legitimate copy of Norton Systemworks 2004 and the code "was in use". I had to call and have them verify my install code, which was a combination of about 20 or so numbers and letters. They gave me a guy that I could barely understand. I had to have him speak in phonetics just to make sure it was all correct.
