Fake Car Parts and Practical Jokes – How To Make Fun of People Who Don’t Know Cars

0 Flares 0 Flares ×

Looking for an Adjustable Powerband? Or is your Blinker Fluid getting a little low? Never fear – KaleCoAuto is there to translate all of the automotive jargon that has filled your head over the years into nonsense products that are virtually guaranteed to confuse, frustrate and amuse gearheads.

One O-pipe is cool, but true gearheads know that dual O-pipes really dial up performance.

Savvy enthusiasts are of course aware that Blinker Fluid is a figment of an imaginative – or crooked – mechanic’s imagination, and that no one in their right mind would purchase a canister of Elbow Grease or a set of Salad Shooting Spinning Rims. For most of the general public, however, these products not only sound plausible but absolutely necessary, especially if their in-the-know car buddy tells them that their car is definitely in need of a new Muffler Bearing or a 710 Cap.

KaleCoAuto obviously doesn’t really sell any of the above products – or indeed, any products – but rather, offers up its seemingly legitimate website as a way for car guys and gals to play a practical joke or two on their less auto-oriented buddies. Just like sci-fi fans play drinking games that count how many times someone “has a bad feeling about this” in a Star Wars movie, vehicular cognoscenti like to see how many of their friends will bite on an email raving about a fantastic automotive product that simply doesn’t exist (no matter how much we want it to). Whether it’s a suggestive Johnson Rod, an exotic-sounding Kuhneutson Valve or the famous Flux Capacitor that starred alongside Michael J. Fox in the “Back to the Future” film series, KaleCoAuto has your pranking needs covered.

Satisfy your inner DeLorean with this must-have time travel accessory.

Before any of you hardcore car lovers complain that all of these fantastical auto parts are just too ridiculous in name and function to actually fool anyone, think back to your very first few years as an automotive newbie. Whether you were a teenager clutching your newly-minted license or a twenty-something drag racer just cutting your teeth on the 1320, there were undoubtedly times when terms like “centrifugal blower,” “carrier bearing” or “yoke and pinion” sounded just as baffling as “Chin Nuts” and “Heavy Duty Clutch Belt” (designed to prevent slipping, of course). If someone had engaged you in a serious discussion about the benefits of adding a Boost Bar to your engine in order to squeeze out some forced-induction goodness, you might have bit just as hard as a first-time stereo installer intrigued by the idea of Violent Bass Air in a can.

Even the most devoted automotive jokester runs dry of comedy material from time to time, and the KaleCoAuto website is a veritable gold mine of car culture hilarity. Just make sure you don’t send an avid do-it-yourselfer a link to the Cross Drilled Brake Lines product page – he or she might get it in their heads to simply perform the modification themselves, with predictably disastrous results.

    We use to do the same while in the Navy. Relative Bearing grease, BT Punch, Mail bouy watch and bat watch etc. Definitely don’t fall for the BT punch. Usually most Boiler Techs (BT) are large guys and you assk one of them for a punch, well you get what you exactly asked for.

    I’ve been asked for Elbow Grease before in the Big Retail Store I woek at. I told the woman; “I believe somebody’s pulling your leg.” She insisted that her husband told her she had to get it from us. I replied, “Well in that case, I believe it’s in the Hardware department.”
