Wait till your at a gas station and one dumb azz says to his buddy dumb azz "hey what is that thing?" The other responds like a know it all as says "duh, exhaust!".
I've also run across the "that snorkel is useless with the exhaust being so low" folks, as well.:twak:
One guy thought is was a flood light on a swivel...:freak5:
I walked out of a store one day to find a guy "explaining" everything on my truck to some other guy like it was his. I chirped the locks, climbed in, and drove off. The look on his face was priceless.
When mine was new in 06 I came out of a restaurant and a guy was explaining that it was a hybrid. I disagreed, he said he could tell by the look of it. I too hit the unlock and got in. His buddy was laughing so hard. Classic.
Besides the exhaust statement I get "a lot" there's always the is the water where you drive really that deep question. i tell them the snorkel is overkill, I try to keep the water just below the wipers!
Yep had all the stupid (mainly exhaust) remarks too... plus all the way across the US in my old TLC I got "You're sitting on the wrong side". To which my response was "its a good job the steering wheel's over here then".
I am asked do I drive into water that deep? I reply not on purpose LOL but you holes in the rivers & streams are unpredictable . It is very cheap insurance
If I am asked to explain why I would want to go into water of almost -any- depth, I point out the -stock- intake in the wheel well, where there -couldn't- be too much dust etc for the intake, RIGHT! That usually shuts them up!
there is a woman that gases up at the same costco as me. she drives a mini with plates the say "NO2SUVS". every time she sees me i get dirty looks. i made a paper plate ant put it on the front of my truck that says "NO-2-SELFRIGHTEOUS-PEOPLE". the next time i saw her i pointed to it and just smiled. she was not amused.
For those of you that regularly get in deep water, what do you do about your fan? I see a lot of snorkle installs but not so many electric fan conversions.
At first when people ask (or guess) what it is, we take the time to explain it and why we need it and how it can obtained if they want one......... Then we get to a point where we just explain it and move along.....eventually, we end up convinced It really is the exhaust and we should stay out of the water..
I get people that say "nice exhaust man". So I reply " it's factory". Every single time it ends the conversation. Lol
