Re: Where do these people come from? My laugh for the day.
"How come it has two brake pedals?"
I explained that they used to make cars like motorcycles with separate front and rear controls. Later, when I told my wife, I said next time I'll say that's for sideshows the old fashioned way. My wife said sometimes I go too far.

As for the picture of the guy holding a drill press, i noticed it no longer has the bed level thing. I hate to think how that got lost.

Re: Where do these people come from? My laugh for the day.
This example wasnt a “ dumb “ moment ,just the younger generation have not seen a flathead engine.
I called into my local parts sales store driving my 34 pickup. Several of the staff came out to inspect the “cool truck” and wanted to see the engine. Their resident “mechanic” asked me why there were so many nuts holding the rocker covers on! ( it has a stock 21 stud flathead engine!) I did explane the setup but i dont think he could understand the concept of side valves. |

Woman: Really, I havent seen 1 of them before. Thats novel. They must have only made them for a short time because all the cars I've ever seen have either stick shift or T Bar and we get plenty of cars here to look at because I do the color matching. At least the young guy had enough smarts to keep quiet and just look. . |

Re: Where do these people come from? My laugh for the day.
I was at a run with a friend and was in my Red Ram hemi roadster. A guy come up and started telling everybody about the Ar Dan conversion. My friend politely told him it was a Dodge. He insisted it was a conversion. My friend said it must have been an extensive conversion to move the distributer to on top in the back and the fuel pump to in front on the bottom.

Re: Where do these people come from? My laugh for the day.
I drove through a fast food drive through window once in my 1931 Ford. The kid at the window said,
"Wow! Cool Car!! Does it run?

Re: Where do these people come from? My laugh for the day.
Yes "dumb person" [not sure how I felt about writing that..?]
"It's illegal to not lock your car?" Correct, here it is illegal. Now if your car is stolen they will ask was it locked. If you were stupid enough to say no, well they'll blame you and insurance wont pay out. Strangely you're the criminal here...?? Pfft go figure..

Re: Where do these people come from? My laugh for the day.
It’s getting to be the same here too, if someone buys a new drill and runs it through their hand, they sue the manufacturer for not warning them not to drill a hole in something while holding it in their hand!!!!

Re: Where do these people come from? My laugh for the day.
When I stopped at the toll booth towing my '41 on a trailer the toll collector told me my car was the same one Bonnie and Clyde drove, only theirs was a '45.
