We had a work experience guy in at work (apparently he is studying to be a mechanic, don't really know why he was doing work exp in IT lol). On Friday arvo he was parked in the visitors centre section, I came around in my car from the staff parking and stopped back outside in the visitors parking as well (I forgot my glasses and needed to get them).
Anyhow, I came back out...he was checking my car out, glancing over from his. I started it up, he looks and comes running over.
Him: "Cam, your cars sick!"
Me: "Thanks"
Him: "Nah I mean its really sick, its got a big problem with the engine. Sounds like it could be the tappits"
Me: "Its a diesel mate. Its meant to sound like that"
Him: "What? Nah man its got a huge problem you should get it checked out"
Me: "Its a diesel dude! its completely normal!"
Him: "What? How.."
After that conversation he was still a bit baffled and couldn't quite comprehend that you could fit a diesel engine into a sporty european hatch...lol
Not to mention he was supposedly studying to be a mechanic. /facepalm
