The OP is an attention whore.

All he does is keep coming back on the SDMB and posting responses to those who want him to fix his cat. converter.

And all he posts are rants about over-regulation and the federal government. We get it. You’re a jaded small-government conservative. Thank you for relaying the message through the story of your broken down car.

This dauerbach is pretty clearly quite smart and awesome and I am ashamed at participating in a BBQ Pit so low-class that it allowed his incredible knowledge and insight to be chased away. I think we all owe him and his dead catalytic converter an apology.

On the internet, people can be anything they want. It’s a mystery why so many choose to be assholes.

Claw, ball-peen, or sledge? You _may_ be right on one of three counts. Further testing is required.

The theft of SDMB quotes by foreign parties is a staggering problem in this country and needs more government regulation. Please contact your Senators and Representatives to enact the SDMB Anti Quote Theft Act and help install a warning light on every SDMB post to curb this atrocious scourge.

You think we can’t turn Australia into a giant pile of radioactive glass? Think before you steal those quotes. DON’T TEST US, BUDDY.

He tried, but they kept asking him to pay for a ticket. Why should he have to pay when the bus is going to have to complete its route anyway, eh?
