There’s no honor to be gained from this. You’ve proved yourself unworthy of consideration or respect.
Thanks, Rick, for the assistance you continue to provide. It’s without question much appreciated.
And here I was worried we might run out of tedious attention whores and have to borrow one.
I’m an Ivy League PhD candidate, and I can’t change my own oil.
I’m not sure what that contributes to the discussion, but there you have it.
Then it would appear you are fucked – since no one in his right mind would trust his car to someone he believes to be a moron, and they’re the ones who know how to repair it.
You’re honered to be considered a thoughtless prick by complete strangers? How odd.
I was watching a National Geographic show on Rhinos. The more aggressive ones flapped their tails and spat forth shit all over the pond.
Have you considered a username change, Bijou Drains?
There’s a name for that type of poster, hmmmm, can’t seem to think of it right now…
Loves getting everyone riled up…maybe it’ll come to me later, we dumbass tradespeople don’t figure things out too quickly.
…trawl?..toll?..???
Of course he is. Under the new vBB warranty policy he’s considered a n00b for the first twelve months or 1,000 posts, whichever comes first.
This warranty covers first-time members only. Socks, trolls and people who join only to complain about the administration of the mesage board are excluded from this warranty. Drive-bys and me-too posts will be counted as 1.5 posts per post. The exclusions are not valid in certain states, which grant you other rights not covered here. See the appropriate legal code in your particular state for details.
Oh, absolutely. And I didn’t mean to imply otherwise.
Prpocerous! Surely you mean hippopotami! 
While we’re here… thanks, Rick. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has saved a packet of money and probably a bigger packet of annoyance thanks to your advice.
Yeah Rick; you do nice work; and just remember this particular … fellow … is not going to get in your actual, IRL face, unlike all the others. (On the other hand you can tell this one exactly what you think about him, unlike all the others.) Sure is fun trying to help folks who ask questions they really don’t want answered, innit?
While we’re on the subject, does “Bijou Drains” actually mean anything? Is it a play-on-words which I don’t get, or what?
I’ll say this about Rick: my hubby is also a mechanic, and often Rick has pointed out something Hubby has missed. Thanks, Rick.
If you mangle the pronunciation a bit, it can resemble “Bet you it rains.”
Which still doesn’t make much sense.
It’s a pseudonym used by Pete Townshend for an album he did featuring songs written by one of The Who’s roadies, IIRC.
Well whatta you know !! Thunderclap Newman was the name of the band. Thanks, HKF.
Now I wonder where Townshend got it from. Hmmm.
Well, if a moron can do the job, and yet you still need him to do it for you …
Weed.
That word you use. I do not think it means what you think it means.
People who think that people who work on cars aren’t smart have obviously never watched one of those weekend car shows. (My husband likes them, so I get inflicted with them on a regular basis.) Modern cars are freaking complicated, and I can’t follow what’s happening onscreen without lots of commentary.
And that’s just the normal passengar cars - let us not speak of the Formula 1 type.
