Default We all have that one friend....

I had a conversation with a friend that went something like this:

Friend: why do some cars have racing stripes? They're ugly.

Me: They make the cars faster.

Friend: bull crap.

Me. Seriously, they will take two tenths of in the quarter.

Friend: OMG really? How?

Me: The different colors cause light to be reflected differently heats the air above it in strips. This causes the air to flow more efficiently and reduce s aerodynamic drag on the car.

Friend: Dude, can I borrow 20 bucks.

Me: Why?

Friend: Because I want to put racing stripes on my car.

Me: No.

The best parts are the fact that he is fairly car savvy and drives a 2.0 sunbird.

Make sure that he doesn't fill the blinker fluid up too much or the faster speed would be offset by the heavier weight of the fluid!

Lol but a new muffler bearing would free up enough power to compensate.

My buddy went to school for mechanics and me and my other buddy would always mess with him. When I drove my truck, when I would come to a stop I would pump the brakes. And we told him it was the new pulsating brakes. Its much more efficient He bought it for about two years then we finally told him. Hahaha

Not to be a douche, but so you are saying that it should be legal to shoot kids with down syndrome? I'm sure you were just talking about people who believe stupid things, but I just wanted to clarify.

No, because kids with legitimate mental disabilities can actually contribute to society. It's amazing, especially when you compare them to people who are more "blessed", children with legitimate problems usually grow up to be some of the most genuine people you'll ever meet.

Basically, you'll be fine. We won't shoot you.
