Can't work on American cars becasue I own an import.

Thats what I as told today by miss trust fund at my work. Apprently im not a very good tuner or anything because I used to own a built to hell trans am that I built. I told her this when she said I won't know what to do on somebodies car(v6 2000 mustang) because I work on import cars. But correct me if im wrong but isn't changing plugs and wires basiclly the same on all cars? Cause thats all she wanted done. And I said I would do it for her, rather than getting way over charged from a shop. She stills says you can only be a master mechanic at american cars or imports not both. I never claimed to be a master at anything. I just like to modify cars. I'll be the first to tell you if my neighbor wasnt a master mechanic I would be screwed from everything I have messed up. I hate dumb people.

Ugh, I hate it when people go around saying ish like that. So what if I own an import? Good God! It's your American car which is screwed up, lady! Mine isn't screwed up, so that's why I have time to work on yours! Geez!

Don't let her get to you, she's just ignorant, like so many others out there when it comes to cars. If she doesn't think your skills are worth using on her car, then her car isn't worth your time. Let her car rot and die, and you can drive away without a care in the world.

ps don't give her rides either, tell her that you only let import owners sit in your car. Tell her "You can be an import passenger or a domestic passenger. Not both. Sounds pretty silly don't it?" Then laugh and point at her.

I wish I had that problem. Everyone I know thinks I'm a car god and can fix anything wrong with a car. I'm not THAT good.

Should have told her you drive an Import because when your friends with Domestic cars break down on the highway, you can get in your reliable car and help them fix their hunk of garbage.
Tell her you don't know how to fix your IMPORT because it's never broken down....

Just let her go to the dealer and get screwed with charges. What do you care about her, unless she is some hot item.
