Shadetree Mechanic gets my vote for most annoying. Watched 'em do an
install of the digital Holley Pro-Jection kit on a late-'80s Chevy pickup.
At the time, I had an '81 Suburban-- mechanically identical. I thought
that since I needed a carburetor for it anyhow, a throttle body fuel
injector would be a good idea. Kinda cool, too, since I could hook it up
to the computer and tune it myself, adjust the fuel curves... real cool
geek gearhead toy.
Not only did they make the install look like a cakewalk, but never once
amid the hundred times they said "And you can even do this to your truck!"
did they mention that the Holley digitial Pro-Jection kit _ain't street
legal_. The analog version is, but not the cool digital one they were
showing me how to install.
But hey, Holley paid good money for that spot...
