some people...

[moonlite5hadow]

are just straight up retarded.

There's this guy in my autoshop class who has a Beautiful '68 Chevelle SS. Up until today I had the utmost respect for him and the restoration work he had done...

... until class today, when he asked some of the most retarded questions I've ever heard. other than the stupid questions, we spent OVER 40 minutes trying to explain to him how his 39 year old factory V8 would have a hard time spinning 22'' rims (why he wants 22'' of chrome on such a beautiful muscle car is WAY beyond me...)

Then, he asks what kind of tires could give him the best horsepower :stupid:

then he asks if he could beat his friend in a '93 Caprice in an all-out drag race when he doesn't even know what kind, if any, after-market parts are under the hood. :hammer:

THEN when our instructor tries to tell him that running radials on a drag strip isn't the greatest idea, but still safe, he comes back with "They're not radials, they're Big-O" (as in Big-O-tires, a tire SHOP) :bang:


Now I really wonder why this kid wants a Posi rear end and coil overs, but not even touch the motor. speaking of which, his compression is all over the place, and its probably about to explode anyways.

sorry, its a minor flame, but i thought i should let the world in on the stupidy that I encounter at least once a week.

Today I went to a elementary school for an observation and happened to notice a lot of noise in the computer lab. I walked in and saw the first graders playing with iPhoto and printing them out and the teacher oblivious to their antics. This is the same school where a group of 6th graders came from that have very low skills in math and reading. Made me wonder WTF was going on.:hammer: :bang: :stupid: :wtf: :owned1:

Seems to be the week of weak flames. Let him do what he wants to the car. After a waste of his money and a lot of ball busting, he'll figure it out.

Biggest rim on a 68 Chevelle I would put on would be 18s. Any bigger, it would be a 4x4.

I do respect what he wants to do to his car, he even hit it right on the nose when he said modifying his car is his way of expressing himself. i think the whole class wants to just try and keep him from learning the hard way. its a beautiful car with tons of potential, and he's a really good kid, i just dont want him to blow money out the tailpipe with mods he might just be removing in a few months.

personally i'd do 18'' out back and 17'' up front, with some nice, fat rubber on the rear wheels and give it that agressive look the chevelle deserves. oh, and an LS2 motor, as well :D

I'd stick with 18's all the way around, but have 8 inch wide up front and 10-12 inch wide out back.
