The guys at work used to rag on me because Im black and I had a grand prix and have a thunderbird sc now. They swore if it wasnt a big block chevy it aint **** and theres no way a v6 can beat a v8 (we're talking super charged v6 vs. a regular 5.0 to 350 v8).
We used to always get into friendly arguments about cars and whatnot while we were workin and one day I was tryin to tell the dude why fuel injections better than a carb and his ass gonna tell me I read too much....where dey do dat at???
This is the same guy that I almost got into a fight over a bet with because we were talking about his (by the chance of god) caprice with a impala motor (stock everything else) in it racing my thunderbird super coupe and he said that the only reason my car would get him off the line was because his car was heavier than mine. I tried to tell him, his car just had a decent motor, mines has the motor, supension, and the gearing so if he did beat me in the quarter I would be right on his ass at worst.
I tried to tell him the weight diffrence wasnt that much to justify what in their minds was a puny lil v6 walkin off on the all mighty v8 and then he put his foot in his mouth by saying his car had to be a ton more than mine, I said aint no way in hell its a ton heavier and he kept talkin so I said bet $50 and he said ok. So he keeps talkin bout how he got my money this and I think I know everything. Well I dont know how much his car weighd but I know this, my cars 3800 pounds, aint no way in hell hes driving a 5800 pound car and thats what I told him.
Then he gets all mad cause he thought a ton was 1000 pounds and has the nerve to say I was trying to play him because I knew he didnt know what a ton was......Why am I supposed to thing people didnt learn they **** in the 3-4th grade???? So then he says Ill pay you if its under 1000, I was pretty sure it still was (it was only a 400lb diffrence) but Im like even if it aint I want my fucin money its not my fault you dont read enough. He didnt have much to say after that comment.
The real sad thing though, we got to arguing and just to prove my point I started asking other people and everyone I asked thought it was 1000 pounds , even people that were working in the chemical lab. I had to take out my phone and show him the converter to get him to belive that ****.
