Bro, that's not a fuel additive

Linky

By page 3, guy realizes he added the NOS energy drink, not the fuel cleaner.

Haha, that's pretty funny. Serves him right for not reading the label, at all.

Did he get it started again? I left at page 8.

That's gotta be fake. Nobody could be that stupid.

I don't know..I guess I'll wait to see if there's any news stories about people drinking the fuel cleaner....

NEVER underestimate peoples ability to be stupid.

and, of course, the pending lawsuit.

On page 3: 'ok i get it im an idot.' Couldn't even spell 'idiot'.

There's all kinds of stupid people out there, once I had a girl buy a can of WD40 and on the way out the door she said she was going to use it to make her brakes quit squeaking.

Yeah I worked at volvoline...saw PLENTY of stoopit peepul.

• one lady wanted us to oil her brakes so they would stop squeeking

• another guy wanted us to do his first oil change in his tiburon...it was 4 years old!!! his comment after we told him he probably had some very major issues after driving 50k on the factory oil: "its ok, i have the warranty to fix it"

• worst: my manager fired 2 guys there for charging one woman $150 for using the transmission fluid exchange machine (T-tech) to push 2 quarts of pwer steering fluid through her PS system. Poor woman was a by the booker - i.e. read the owners manual in her taurus like a bible, and performed all the services recomended in the back along the prescribe dtimeline...without fail. After her 3rd or 4th oil change at our shop, these 2 guys caught on and found out that at 60k, theres a "power steering system maintenance" scheduled. Yup, she paid $150 for $6 worth of PS fluid and 10 minutes of time. Poor woman was too dumb to know she was being ripped off. Guys were too dumb to know theres a camera in the shop.

So did the owner give here some of her $$$ back?

dunno for sure, the guys pocketted the cashola. But I know the guys used the cash to try to score some herbal refreshment, and got an all expenses paid trip upstate for a few nights

Awww man. Poor dude.

The only proper use I've found for a bottle of NOS on a car; coolant recovery. I guess maybe you could rig a catch can, too. I put it in there so when the rice boyz ask me "Does it have NOS?", I can say "Sure does!"

That shiz was so frickin' hilarious I had to share it with some of my "other" forum buddies.

Thanks for the laughs!

That is horrifying.

Proof of why service record are so important. I'm stunned it was still even running.

I thought it was great that it took the pictures posted to get him to realize that he put energy drink in his bike. Not good

I didn't read everything. It looks like there was 60+ pages of piling on. Geez, I made some dumb mistakes too when I was young and learning.

4cylfury, You'll love this too, since you mentioned brakes as well..

At one of the last SCCA Runoffs in Atlanta, I talked to a half-drunk Peugeot PR guy that was there to document the turbo 505s that then dominated SSB. Me & my Corner Worker buddies asked him about Pug's impending exit from the US.

He said, "..well, the problem is-in Europe, people don't mind a little noise from the brakes as long as they stop the car. In the US, people don't care if the brakes stop the car, as long as they don't make any damn noise."

Ha!

At 66 pages in 2 days, our IGNORE thread is weak. It even got mentioned on Comedy Central

He either had an Epic Troll or Epic Fail, Either way, it was Epic

I had a friend do something like that with his Toyota pickup truck (Highlander, or whatever their light pickup was). We were getting ready to road trip from LA, to Massachusetts, to Miami. He was asking me what we aught to do to prepare. I asked when the last time was he'd done an oil change.

Him: "Oil change?"

He'd gone nearly 15k on the original oil.

Another buddy and I got the stuff to change his oil. We started draining it and it was the most pitch black I'd ever seen oil come out. My other (competent) friend's and my eyes about bugged out of our skulls.

Incompetent friend: "What? I thought oil was supposed to be black."

I then had to go to class. I heard that it started having globs come out. The truck made it to Florida though.

He did have an excuse, since he is one of the richest people I've ever met. I think he came from like, the richest family in Guatemala. Their driver always took care of maintaining the cars.
