A quick story:

I was over at my girlfriends’ mother's house last week just hanging out minding my own business. Her mothers, boyfriend asked me if my brother and I still have our "big Dodges"

I replied "yep we still have them."

He said "does it have a turbo on it?"

Smiling I said "yes” At this point I didn't feel like talking to him anymore because he is a self proclaimed know-it-all.

He asked "That’s the Cummins engine right?"

I said "yep Cummins in both of them"

Then he comes back with "Oh, a Ford engine, that’s the only way a dodge will go down the road"

He was smiling and laughing like he was the smartest man on earth that knows everything about everything.

I was real close to putting him in his place, but I bit my tongue and just kept my peace. No cense in trying to tell that buffoon anything. Thought you might like that story.

The first ever episode of King of the Hill, the guys looking at Hank's truck's motor:

Dale: I know whats wrong with it. It's a Ford. You know what Ford stands for? Fix It Again Tony.

Hank: Dale you gibblet head, that's Fiat.

Somehow this thread reminded me of that.
