Absolute geniuses out there...
Had a guy inform me this morning my car had a blown head gasket.
Me - really, how did you know? Him - because there's water dripping from those holes in the mufflers that factory puts in for that reason, ya know, in case you do happen to blow a head gasket. Huh. So what's your opinion, you think I've got a blown head gasket?

Just remember. You can't fix stupid. And you might lose a few brain cells trying to argue with it. While I would enjoy educating such a person, it would be FAR easier just to say, ok, man, I'll check it out.

The worst part is that he likely learned that from someone else. Stupid is contagious, so be careful!

I mean it could be, but likely is just morning condensation. Some people just want to look smart and/or put down someone's ride.

Oh boy, that's a riot!! Some of these folks are REALLY entertaining when it comes to what could be wrong with our cars!! Like the stand up comedian Dan White and the guys above said, ya just can't fix stupid!!! Ya just say thanks and walk away. I had a guy at a show tell me my Camaro needed a tune up bad because it was running rough and the engine was "shaking" a lot!! Oh well. lol

I didn't even realize I had those holes until I was trying to tune my cold starts. I basically started cold two or three times a day for about a week. When I moved the car, there was watery black sooty spots under the mufflers. LOL. I'm glad I found that out.
