I work at the mines....my car is parked at home in the shed, i asked if the miss's could drive down to the airport to pick me up as i was hanging out to go for a squirt.
I told her, be careful of the rims, dont touch and buttons and do not touch the traction control..
She turns up at the airport and i take over driving responsibilities, and ask her how did she like driving my car......she replies "i thought it would have been faster and this orange low trac light kept flashing the whole way"
i think ill just cab it home next time
what has your miss's or family said or done in your car that has left you wondering....are you serious?
The first time I filled the bfs VE SS up (he usually pumps the fuel & I go in and pay) I had no idea where the button to open the fuel tank was.
I asked the guy at the servo & he had no idea, my bf wasn't answering his phone, randoms at the servo didn't know so I took it to a Holden dealership. Oh geez did I feel like a dumb ass when they showed me..haha
When I had my VT I went out n spent my savings on a set of 19" Simmons and parked the car in the garage and zeroed my km's and left it there with the missus who was unlicensed at the time with my last words "don't drive it unless it's an emergency" got home after a weekend away and there was 64k's on it and a big f*cken yellow gutter rash on the drivers side front rim!! Staypleton BP macca's.. pissed much!!
VE SS 6LTR
I let family friend drive my car because her car has a suspected cracked head and overheats all the time..
Shes sitting there talking to my mum saying that her cars better then mine, its got air con.. and atleast 'has suspension'
and Im thinking to myself.. This car can barelly make it over 10k's w/out overheating, the car has less power then a prius... shes replaced almost everypart of her car.. and its still the same... and shes sitting there telling my mum her cars better than mine.. and she prob could get more then mine..
Even though its a old camry with a suspected crack head.. :\ and shes gotta borrow my car to get around...
Back in the day had a VK commodore Berlina. Lent it to a Family member for the night.
Got it back the next day my dash board was all white like someone cumed all over it also the car smelled like pine O clean.
So a approached this family member and said what the f... happen. The family member said i cleaned the car with pine O clean. I said why.
the family member would not give me a straight answer. Every time i cleaned the dash thinking the cum like stain would come
of but never did. So i traded her in.
when i first lowered the ute the missus asked why the ride was so bumpy? i told her i had to put heavy duty suspension in for work! (didnt tell her i had lowered it as she hates it when i spend money on the car haha)
now the car has been off the road for a good month as iv put a super 6 in. i told her that there is a problem with the gearbox haha
My older sister hopped in my car after assuming that i could give her a lift to somplace while i was heading out to get something (i think it was food but its a minor detail). Within 5 seconds she proceeded to try and change the stereo. She then got the shits cause i changed it straight back and it got to one of those stfu bitch go buy your own car and mess with it not mine, now sit there and keep quiet or your walking moments. I think the fact i was pissed at her for the whole day may have taught her a lesson although somehow i doubt it seeing as she still doesnt have a car.
Well this just happened last night! We went to a resturant with my 2 girl cuzins, went with there car. She got out of the car with the keys in the ignition and turned on and was walking away lol hahahaha
Also again last night, i pulled her handbrake down when we were parked and then she started the car and was gona drive off, so she puts the car in D and pulls the handbrake up(coz i put it down) and drives off. She didnt realise till i put it down myself!
BTW she just got the car yesterday so she might of been abit excited, all i know is SHE IS NEVER GOING ANYWERE NEAR MY CAR
my mum gets drilled so much that she now rolls the list off before she drives my car lols,
'Yes sweetie, I know its a Statesman & therefore bigger than my 2 door Lancer, so I will watch where I park it, yes I will be carefull & not gutter rash your rims, no I will not smoke in the car, or put my handbag on the paint.....
lucky she only flys over ever couple of months....
It's not all women who are dumb and stupid when it comes to cars and driving.
I read a post on another forum about a guy who came out of the supermarket to discover his car had a flat tyre. He drove it home then posted up asking what to do next. Transpired he had no idea that you couldn't drive a car with a flat tyre, or that there was a spare tyre. People assumed he was trolling for a while then it became apparent he wasn't (this was not on a car forum). He genuinely had no idea of basic car maintenance.
Mines a funny one , the GF normally drives a corolla so hardly any go .
Anyways , went to the movies i drove my car there and she asks if she can drive my car home , sure why not .
Its slightly raining and she pulls up to a set of traffic lights to turn right .
Light goes green and she plants her foot to the floor and we drifted harder then vin diesel and paul walker put together .
I was shitting my pants as we fish tailed up the road , she had tears coming out her eyes and i ask her " why the hell did you do that !!!" and she's like "I normaly have to put my foot down to go anywhere in my car , and yours just took off and kept going "
similar to my story haha, about 2 weeks after a epic slid my car into a fence
my GF asked if she could drive my car home in the rain, i wasnt feeling good so i was like yeah ok
it occured to me that it was probably the 3rd time shes driven a RWD car, let alone a V8 lol.
pull onto the freeway sideways, she powers out of it and does an epic fishtail down the freeway
my sphincter is about the size of a 5c piece haha, i look at her like wtf you doing
shes just like "i seriously dont know how you put this in a fence, its easier to drift then my camry"
was a silent trip home
Little sis was running late for work and asked to be taken to the train station(15min walk), said ok only if you can check for water(BIG mistake..) as I was not ready to go yet.
As I came out of the back of the house... little sis was waiting for me I thought I should just ask what she did... to my absolute horror she opened the bonnet and said(pointing to the OIL cap on the rocker cover)... "There was no water in there so I filled it using the hose as I thought it would be quicker" with a huge smile on her face like she was the smartest person in the world... AAARRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!![]()
![]()
She walked to the station that morning... and for the rest of her life... and never, ever was allowed in/near my car and every car I ever had again.
P.S I spent the rest of the day flushing out water out of the 500HP 400SB chev in my Torana.![]()
She tried to drive it in sports mode up our driveway, around the back of the house, through the shed, around the pool and come back to the house to finish it off with a drift. I let anyone I know drive my car but whatever damage they cause they pay for it plus an extra 60%.
do a $1000 total damage pay me $1600
fortunately i dont know anyone that dumb, but the women i do know (inc. mrs) are clued on enough i guess when it comes to car maintenence/ mechanics wot not, but realistally if it doesnt involve talking shit, make up clothes and the usual trivial female crap then its a nod nod blank look oi boy... i just say dont do this or do that or babe i need a part or i wanna buy this for the car shes like hokie doke
my sister had a rolling idle/shuddering under load in her 626, so she took it to Kmart tyre and auto. mistake number one.
they charged her $100ish to fix the problem. they determined (correctly, which was a nice surprise) that the air intake hose after the maf had a hole in it. so they 'repaired' it by wrapping it in duct tape. 2c worth of tape + 30sec labour = $100... guess they must charge a few thousand dollars an hour for labour, eh?
It took me, my dad, AND my brother all telling her she got ripped off to convince her to go back and demand either a refund or a real repair.
also this phone is being shit and randomly copyin and pasting things. blah. they must charge a few thousand dollars an hour for labour, eh?
