I was eating lunch with a friend, had a bit of a conversation with the server…

Bro: Hey is that red Honda outside one of y’all’s cars?
Me: Yeah, it’s my car.
Bro: Nice car bro, what’s that thing got under the hood, is it a VTEC?”
Me: Yeah, most Honda’s are VTEC.
Bro: Well yea, but I thought it might be a JDM motor or somethin.
Me: Nope, stock motor.
Bro: Oh aight, was hoping for something a little more. Well the white Impala outside is mine, ain’t that quick since it’s auto. But I got two Greddy turbos on it, it ain’t real fast to 60 but it’ll do 60 to 170mph in 3 seconds. (was a 00-05 non-SS model)
Me: Oh, sweet.

What I really wanted to say was, I don’t believe you. And that I hope he raced at a track. But I knew I’d be disappointed in the answers to both those questions, so I was nice. Not making fun of the guy, but what he said was dumb. And he came across as one of those types of people that you just don't want to know a lot about your car.

I think it's funny when people lie about their car, like they even know a bit of what they're talking about. Never call them out, just say, oh yeah that's pretty cool man.

Pulled rear subframe, suspension, and gas tank all out as one unit the other day. Drained tank, kept what I wanted to keep, cut up the rest for the scrap pile. Need to grab some totes to put all my extra parts in and then finish cutting up the shell.

BTW - the rear trailing arms are hollow incase anyone wanted to know. Thick steel, but hollow.
