ok here goes.1st, yes there are some nice curtious people out there. but they are few and far between.so here are some thoughts from the people most of you consider low life, bottom feeding, trailer park, grease monkeys. and these are from my personal exsperiances over the last 15 years.

7 if you live in a hot state.. a dark colored car will get much hotter than a light colored car. and it wont cool off as fast!! dont bitch about it..you picked it!!!i can not fix physics! thats what happens to a dark color..it gets hotter!!!!

Ouch. I can usually tolerate some poor grammar, spelling and punctuation. That post hurts my brain.

Lots of truth in that post. Number three and number four are great!

"3 if you buy a full size truck with a v6 dont be mad because it has no power. again i cant fix your bad decision!

4 if your weigh 400 plus pounds, the cute geo metro is NOT the car for you. dont be mad because it pulls to the left. you have exceeded the weight limit on that side of the car!!!

The lack of any type of proper grammar or even decent spelling lead me to believe that this ranting lunatic probably is one the bad mechanics...

I'm writing a book like that. But it's gotz grammar and speling write most of the teim...

A lot of truth in the OP's post. Don't be a nazi, guys.

I'm the last person on Earth to be a spelling/grammar Nazi. The guy makes some good points. It would, however, help his case if it wasn't quite so poor. Doesn't negate the points, though.

He hits it right on the head even if the spelling/grammar leave something to be desired.

I had a guy tell me once 'The salesman took advantage of me. If I hadn't been drunk at the time I never would have bought this truck.'

The one about the 3k mile minivan full of sour milk and E36 M3ty diapers... man that is WAY more common than you might think. It's really bad when the root cause of a power sliding door malfunction is milk spilled in the limit switches. But you can't tell SuperMommy that because she will storm off to the general managers' office to say what a big meanie you are.

being a good mechanic doesn't generally equate to being a good speller.. i didn't even notice most of the bad grammar due to the sheer amount of truth that was being put down- probably over the course of a few minutes at the end of an extremely E36 M3ty week..

He may have been saying the truthiest thuths that ever were, but it was way too much effort to try to parse and interpret that, so I went on Cracked and read a fascinating article about rats instead. I'm sure I got more out of it.

How do people stand that? We spilled milk in the rear of the 4Runner on vacation once. As soon as we got home we pulled the carpet out, wiped down the area with cleaner and scrubbed/vacuumed the carpet on the deck and let it dry before we put it all back together. Just one day of that smell, and it couldn't have been anything like what it would have been in a week, was motivation to do the work. And dirty diapers? Good God. It's been a while, but we kept bags in the van to tie them off and we had a bucket to put them in. As soon, and I mean as soon as we saw a garbage can we got it out of the car. I'm not the neatest guy on earth, by a long shot. But I can't imagine having that in your car for more than a few minutes.

I was thinking of writing something about spelling and grammar. I read this post and thought about how long it would take me write something similar to this.

I decided I would have to re-read it about 20 times to make sure I didn't look like an asshat by spelling something incorrectly.

I did like the OP's post. It made me haz a laff!

YEAH!

Shoulda gotten one with a slant/straight 6.

I'll take a 225 powered Dodge over a 3.9 powered Dodge any day. I was actually looking for a shortbed 225 powered model when I bought mine.

Same with Ferd and I'd say GM, but I don't even remember when they stopped using them in their trucks.

I don't think this is a true post. I've seen many of those rants individually over the years elsewhere.

And in response to Number 8--try rebuilding an engine while it's still running!

PS...Auto tech for 15 years.

Nasty piggish behavior goes all the way across the social spectrum. I have seen everything from $3,995.00 Festivas to $90,000.00 Mercedes with all kinds of filth in them. Getting in one of these roach coaches on a hot day makes you want to gag.

fast eddie, I have seen cars with dog E36 M3 ground into the carpet.

In another car there was a plate with a fork and knife, all covered with green fuzz, halfway under a right front seat.

There was an Escort with baskets full of dirty clothes. That one was weird, the same girl drove it everywhere like that, just baskets full of dirty clothes. Man, it reeked.

Pot seeds in the carpet TOO many times.

Had a guy with a Bronco II who broke the defrost door mechanism because he kept flipping beer bottle caps on the dash, they fell through the slots into the box and jammed the door. He kept yanking on the control lever till it broke, then expected it to be covered under warranty.

Many much troofs there my friend!
I've actually had to chane ge my uniform after working at a car before. The stank just stuck to me. Good lord, how must your house look and smell?

I'm often asked "How do you keep the inside of your car so clean?" Simple, I don't treat it like a trash can. No uncovered beverages allowed.

Nothing beats the Crossfire that had your dog and cat hair covered foam pad crammed in the back rendering the AIR POWERED door locks inop. Bonus points for your USED BLOODY FEMININE PRODUCT STUCK TO THE PASSENGER FLOOR CARPET. I hope you choked on your girlfriend's stuff, you mouthbreathing worthless lesbian excuse for a human being.

The next time my g/f complains about how dirty the inside of my car is (which is actually pretty clean right now sicne I vacuumed a few weeks ago), I'll have to show her this thread...

A friend of mine had a hard time removing a diaper bag from the rear of a mini van. The van was soo nasty the blue carpet was DARK grey and the diaper bag saw STUCK TO THE CARPET like it was velcro. That and the chicken bones under the driver's seat made for a nice smell on a hot August day....

This thread (and multiple Top Gear Challenge episodes) remind me why the first thing I do when I buy a used car is to detail the E36 M3 out of the interior...

I agree with pretty much all the guy says...can't tell for sure because of the mis-spellings.

I'm not sure why, but women are easily ripped off by most service providers and because of that (apparently?) women of color START off mad at service providers.

I won't eat in my car, but can't help wondering if it smells bad inside my car to other people...you know, that idea that what you are used to no longer offends or is even noticed by you? I ask, because, let's face it, I like cheese, pizzas, and Mexican food.

I have had women of color tell me 'you are charging me this much because I'm black' and I have taken a moment to find another car with a similar repair and show them the service history. That nullifies the race card pretty nicely.

DrBoost, I've wondered the same thing. Their house must look like something from 'Hoarders'.

Seen ants and cockroaches having a turf war on the manna from heaven in several cars I was asked to fix.

Best was a case of beer that was apparently "lost" 11 years earlier (found the receipt) and some of the cans had burst all over the leftover fast food stuffed in milkshake cups.

After 15 years of retail, I can say they have a major chip on their collective shoulders about spending money, period.
