I was helping a mate move a nice mahogany wardrobe the other day. That was creepy..

[Sunkist]

met up with a few people. someone said to me.

Random: "you shouldve kept the Volvo Badge"

me: yeh i know they're kind of expensive to replace as well.

Random: "yeh it would be pretty awsome to have such a nice volvo"

Me: "yeh to bad Nissan only makes these one's"

Random: Confused look

I then patted him on the shoulder n got in my car n left..

I had a guy the other day ask me if my car was american. My s2 doesn't look american does it? I get a lot of weird looks here, being that mine is the only one in my area and when you do see another one its only here for a day and its gone again.

Helped move a VZ 6cyl ute off the road last night.

2 male teenagers and 1 female teenager were trying to move it (the clutch had died).

Pushed it well off the road and was about to get in my car when the female turns to me and the following exchange took place;

Female: "I wish ours sounded like yours"

Male 1: "It would if we had a V8"

Me: "Uhhh, don't think it would"

Male 2: "Yeah, I haven't seen a VE with a Cadillac grill before! Looks great! All VE's should have come like that"

Me: "Yeah guys, the back is pretty cool, have a look!"

Silence

Female: "What's a Stay-gear?"

Male 1: "What is this thing? Nissan don't make V8's and those lights look like a Volvo"

Me (laughing): "See ya guys, good luck with the car!"

So it seems that I drive a Cadolvoden PMNM35 Stay-Gear

Went to get a new Warrant of fitness last week (NewZealand based)

The inspection guy jacks the car up on the hoist and walks underneath, he gets to the back and shines his torch into the rear undercarriage. A minute later he makes eye contact with me sitting in the waiting room and jestures for me to come over.

Dude: (while smirking knowingly) "have you tried to modify the suspension on this car?"

Me: "Nope, it's as per the factory spec"

Dude: "I know for a fact that VOLVO's don't have suspension like this, so you want to try another story?"

Me: "You're right, and VOLVOS have been Front or All wheel drive since the early 90's, this is rear wheel drive"

Dude: (now looking rather confused) "You need to get a certificate in order to modify suspension like this and this would fail, the welding looks horrible! It's not road worthy"

Me: " Aluminium welding always looks like that when it's done by a wire fed MIG robot welder, this is a NISSAN and it has not been modified in any way"

Dude: "......"

Me: (now rather annoyed) " Look theres nothing wrong with this car, just drop it, sticker it and let me get out of here"

So long and uncomfortable argument ensues with me repeating myself over and over, he eventually gave up, realizing he was wrong and I left. What a doofus.

[GoldZilla]

LOL, even the mechanic was clueless, that's awesome.

Yeah, I was completely dumbfounded, this guy was a veteran mechanic, he should be able to tell whether a car has an aftermarket subframe or not. I guess he is just not used to seeing more modern cars with DECENT suspension setups, it was a bit of an out of the way workshop so the usual fare is ageing 4x4's and older jap imports. Never seen a car newer than 1996 there.

I took my track car there for a fitness check and he wouldn't believe me that it had the original motor as it "looked too new for the car" so I should have expected an exchange when I brought the stag in.

Long story short he got off his high horse when I started trying to explaing that GOOD cars these days come with Aluminium suspension, not pressed steel. He gave me the sticker in the end and I went on my way.

[iamhe77]

OK APPARENTLY WE ARE YELLING AGAIN?

Is there a reason you are feeding a shit stirrer?

Best left ignored.

[zei20l]

with the letters the wrong way around, it makes it the wrong car, or not even a car at all! could be something like a multimeter with a temperature probe, for example.

SORRY I MEANT TO TYPE MY ENTIRE POST LIKE THIS
