Some people's children, I swear.....

Today after work I made a run to the store for supplies in the '68.
Afterwards as I approached my car two guys were checking it out and I heard one of them say, "only an idiot puts slapper bars on a Mopar...."
I replied, "those are my mufflers dipshit..."

He is a half idiot!
I don't see the reasoning behind traction/slapper bars on an A-B or E body either. I've seen some guys that have them on their cars even though they seem smart otherwise.

I took this one of your car at least 8 years ago at the San Joaquin Valley Mopars show.

I like the look of the black wheels and hood.

Ya dude! Back when I was running the steelies and RWL tires. I'm always changing stuff up, plus those things were like driving on ice!

I wouldn't put slappers on my car either but the fact that this meathead couldn't tell the difference between that and my maybe-a-little-low-hanging mufflers is what got me. Well, that and the 'idiot' part...

Never ran 'slapper bars' but did run 'torque' bars. They seemed to work but it was on a Ferd....

Everyone’s a critic…

It sounds like you handled it appropriately. My favorite comeback is to ask “where is your car?”

That usually shuts them up pretty quickly.

 

[Kern Dog]

I have said that too. Some are so dense, they don’t realize that they have been called out.

he gets points for knowing what slapper bars are....... the pic is a little deceptive

Slapper Bars = Camaro

This one time, at drag camp.... I clamped the fronts of my leaf springs.

Don't know if it helped much.... but I did run a 13.5 in my GTX ....4-speed 440. Only had 8-pounds in the Hoosiers..... that was a lesson rectified quickly. About as loose in the rear end as a Kardashian..... pumped 'em up to 13 for the following rounds.

I sure missed this site & (most of) its member's (the people, not 'schlongs' Kern Dog) humor!
