So yesterdays topic was the Hellcat... They just heard about it even though we work in the automotive industry... What we found out about it yesterday was that Its a 700 hp naturally aspirated motor made by Saleen for Dodge with a twin intercooler intake (even though its NA...)

Yes I just sat there and rolled my eyes.

Today, they found a video on the internets. It's title "2JZ dyno flames" or something of the such. Apparently this was a supercharged (turbocharged) motor in a Scion (Supra) to which the other guy argued it was not a Scion but in fact a Chevy. This argument proceeded for about two minutes.

Again, this company is in the automotive industry. Luckily these guys aren't techs or engineers, otherwise, we would all be screwed.

Yea I used to jump in and try to show them the correct answer, but they always wrote me off like I was an idiot. So instead I sit hear and listen to the stupidity and try not to laugh too loudly about it.

I used to but they just wrote me off and told me I was wrong so now I let them marvel in their own ignorance and laugh about it later.

Oh my gosh, you work with Earnest too? Seriously, I've been there. I used to work for a major bank and the people there were awful. There was me and a couple close buddies and a couple other guys we met there who actually knew what they were talking about. The problem is every once in a while one of the plebes would approach us talking about actual cars and be "How about those Lamborghinis?"

It's like when my sister in law shows me some purple stanced car on facebook and asks me what I think. Sometimes you'd rather regular people didn't know you liked cars.

This. You fight and you rage the first few times and then you realize by the 4th time if you keep this up you're going to have an aneurysm the next time they tell you their Honda Accord coupe is a better sports car than your Miata.
