i figured i would start a thread about stories and funny stuff that has happen that is involving complete noobs. no im not bashing or picking fun of them because at one point im sure you were a noob at one but some of the stuff they say or do is hilarious. i'll start off by explaining what this guy did in my auto tech class today.

while out on break this kid was standing next to his car. it was a late 80s corolla that was slammed to the ground wheels tucked and all. for a toyota it was prettly clean. i figured i would compliment him on his build. after talking to him for about a minute i realize that hes a complete noob and bought the car built. he opens the hood and tells me that its boosted because it has a short ram intake....there's no turbo and i correct him of that and explain to him that its not turbo. then he tells me that hes going to camber his back wheels when he gets new tires. i dont know why he wants to camber it and i didnt ask i just let it go and figured he would learn someday. at this time i lost interest in him talking about his car and start talking to the only girl in the class. And then during class we had to change the oil on a gmc truck, our teacher figured it would be a group project since no one brought any projects in yet. he asked who has never changed the oil on a car and the noob was the only one who raised his hand. the teacher then tells him that he'll change the oil and everyone else will help him if needed. at this point im laughing on the inside, the kid has no idea what hes doing and takes him about an hour to change the oil with us helping him and now he knows how to change oil.
i thought it was funny and a fewer others in class got a good laugh out of it too but he'll soon learn.

feel free to share any noob stories that made you laugh.

haha! Funny well I'm a noob myself. So I've done my fair share of dumb crap. But a while ago I came across the funniest story I've heard of on the internet on a motorcycle forum (idr how I got there). Anyway this guy wanted to make his bike faster so he stopped at a gas station and picked up some NOS and put it in his tank. It eventually sputtered and turn off and wouldn't turn back on. He didn't understand what happened. Turns out he put the energy drink into his bike not the NOS octane booster. Haha I cracked up cuz the guy was so clueless. It was sad though too cuz nobody would tell him how to empty his gas tank they were all just laughing at him lol. I know its not a personal story but I got a laugh out of it.

That car you smoked!
My turn.

When I first got my teg, I couldnt understand wtf was going on with this rattling sound under my hood. Eventually I figured it was my oem header cracked. Well I need to get it fixed so I could pass inspection. Looked on ebay and finally bought one generic (first mistake). It said it fit a gsr so I got it. took it to this guy I know about and had him install it. Was a bit longer than stock (second mistake), so I had him cut my piping and then weld it to my b pipe (third mistake). Two years later, damn thing breaks clean off and I am stuck at full header. LFML.
