I like to talk about cars with some of the lads i work with, they seem like you lot in the fact that they know there stuff, were as me, I don't know anything, but I am open about that, I see it this way, I never had anyone to influence me in the joys of cars growing up, so I never bothered looking into them, all I knew is I liked the looks of certain ones and I was always happy enough.
This has changed now, after a nice lady drove into my 206 I decided that I would go for a better car, so I asked all the people I knw who are into cars and got a few of them just telling me to get specific models as they are fast or they look good, I soon came to realize that these people didn't have a clue what they were talking about so I ignored there suggestions. After all that asking around I decided to go and talk to a few mechanics, and they were really helpfull, they never tryed to force me to buy there fave cars, they actually asked me what I wanted from a car and then gave me suggestions, this ended up to be a good thing though as now I know that most people out there haven't got a clue what they are talking about and just make it up as they go along, so I fully understand why these people start to annoy people like you lot, if I had took the advise they had given me I would now be the proud owned of a fuel guzzling POS that I would have had to have spent all my cash on every month to keep on the road.
I have really took the long road to getting my point across, but what I mean is, if people don't know what they ae talking about, they should not give advise, and like me they should be open about the fact that they don't know much about cars and do a little research. Plus, if you are going to lie about your knolage on a subject, don't go doing it to people who actualy know there stuff.
