Why do people try to explain things they know nothing about? [Archive]

Relevant to cars, a fella was at a car show explaining to a younger guy about 3rd Gen Trans Ams and how they are "chipped in the rear" and this car has the "hot 5.7L from the Corvette",

Anyways, car was a 5.0 TPI w/ automatic in a TA, and was really a POS. Anyways, why talk with such authority on stuff they knew noting about?

He asked me if I knew what I was looking at. I said sure, a 5.0L TA. Guy thought it was a GTA, just because of the gold cross lace wheels, which were optional in 1991 and 1992 on the TA.

So that's just one example, and maybe I should just keep my mouth shut and nod like he was the expert, but he was really not well-informed. This is just one example, as I hear this stuff all the time.

Anyone else run into this? :shots:

I rarely go to the parking lot shows, and if I do I don't talk to anyone. Even if you say, "nice car," they act like it's beneath them to be in your presence. If you're not there showing something, they'd prefer you be seen and not heard.

One reason why the racetrack is a better show. If anyone starts talking trash, you ask them to prove it. Its rare to see that kind of uninformed trash talk. Its more common to hear "Youre fast. Can I follow you for a couple laps to learn your lines?" And sometimes it comes from the wealthiest of folks.

Tell me about it. A buddy of mine had a 69 road Runner. I fought with that freaking wheel for half an hour before I decided to try to break it loose by trying to "tighten it" more. Yeah, I felt stupid when it broke loose.

My after school job ( '76-'77 ) was working at the local tire store. A new kid started ( more muscles than brains ) and he was saying " damn these lugnuts are tight" as he was trying take the left front tire off a late 60s MOPAR.

He broke off three studs before the boss saw what was going on. :rofl:

I know alot about most things, enough to bullshit myway thru most conversations so long as the person im talking to isnt like..super informed...

In my line of work, I deal with alot of people who come to me for insight and knowledge, I use my knowledge when I can, the rest I just use what I have, and fill in the gaps with skilled guesses and glitter...

99% of the time, It gets me by, 1%,, I end up sounding like a tool to a subject matter expert whose subject of choice is the subject at hand...

Guy one time asked me how jet engines worked...

Now, Ive never worked on, or done alot with a Jet engine, however I do have some old books from the infancy of jet propulsion my granddad left me, and Ive read them, well, back when I was like 14 I read them...

I told him...well, basically you have a series of fans up front with multiple sets of fans, on a cone,they draw in and compress air, superheating it...in the middle, fuel is added, and it creates a massive expansion that is pushed back over a set of rear turbnes, that drive the front fans faster, more fuel, more expansion, more thrust...if the desire if to use gasses to drive the vehicle, there will be a set of rear fans, and a nozzle to creat thrust, otherwise the heat will be exhausted and the prop shaft will be used to drive the device mechanically...

Simple...pretty damn close, he understood it, and he thought I was some kind of jet mechanic...haaaa

Want to know about the human anus, ask a proctologist.

Do not go to a mechanic and ask them some deep shit about phsychology..

Do not ask your barber, about the diff between AC and DC electricity..

Ive always felt like saying..."I do not know"...is simply not good enough, if someone asks me about something, and I know anything about it, Im going to tell them what I know, and Im going to fill in the gaps as I go..with glitter and vagueness...

Last week, 2 coworkers argued with me that it was an Impala. When I showed them the Chevrolet website with the car on it they said "Oh, so it's a special edition Impala".

I even had to argue with the service manager at a Chev dealership when I brought it in for a recall. :kick:

I started as a helper at 8 years old, for 25 cents an hour. Serious. Saved enough money by 12 y/o I bought a mini bike with cash (100bux). Then my 1st car at 15 y/o with cash (600bux)

I Went full time carpenter right out of HS at 17. Worked in the field as carpenter and working superintendent. Started my 1st business at age 26, sub contracting and remodeling. Moved to Florida at age 30 and worked for a developer as working super for 4 years. Started my 2nd business at age 34 as a hands on contractor/home builder.

Spent a handful of years in my 40's with the tools in the shed while I sold real estate. Went back to building in 2008. Took my current position as a project manager with a large commercial developer in 2013.

I know you think you know about guitars and playing guitars and welding, but I'm pretty conversant myself. Once I tig-welded a neck on pizza pan, ran some strings to some rigged-up attachment points (they are technically called tigs, that's why I used aluminum rod tig welding) and used some Les Paul pickups from my friend who didn't need them anymore, wired them up using a crossover circuit of my own invention (it involves two pots, that's short for potentiometers which I realize you don't know what it is but that's OK) and wow, it was really sweet, sounded like a Strat making love to a Fender, but they were trying to have baby banjos. Like "Screeeeeeeee whooooooooo" you know what I mean. I played in E-minor but with G overtones and honestly Metallica could have walked into the room all at once and thought they were being trolled, that's how good it sounded, seriously.

I'd just remove the badges entirely. :D

That's what I did on my G8.

Few people thought it was a 5 series. Even with the red arrow left on.:slap:

What possible reason can I come up with that you won't make a snide comment about? :confused5:

It's cool, he wants the real badges on the car, he likes the way they look, etc. Pick your poison, but I'd bet not a single one has anything to do with what other people think about the car. :cert:

I made no snide remark. I think the Lion emblem is cool, and posted so.

but...
The argument with the coworkers was the last straw. Sirius.
infers other peoples opinion may have something to do with it. :seasix:

If a coworker said that they didn't like my car and as a result I went out and changed it, you would be correct.

Arguing with me that it's an Impala isn't an "opinion". It's ignorance.

I like the Holden logos on the car. They're what actually belong there IMO. I want them on the car instead of the Chev logos regardless of what enybody else thinks. I said that to my wife before we even left the dealership. I had said the same thing about my GTO. I always wanted the Holden badges, but for whatever reason, never did them.

It really has nothing to do with anyone else's opinion. I'm sure some like it and some don't. Being able to tell people like my coworkers and the amazingly large number of people who ask what it is that it's a Holden Commodore rather than going through the "SS what" conversation every day is just the bonus benefit that finally put it over the top.

They're on the way from Australia already. The argument with the coworkers was the last straw. Sirius.

Only Chev emblem on the car will be the steering wheel. Didn't feel like paying $600 for the Holden version (have to buy the whole airbag).

From now on I'm telling people it's a Holden Commodore SSV Redline.
