when you work in an office but still have grease under your finger nails almost everyday no matter how hard you scrub them with that orange stuff... Trick is to scratch your nails in the Orange cleaner.

when the same week you finally get your engine dialed in good, the transmission starts to crap out.

Bahh, they aren't. Jobmate and Mastercraft. I have a nice big tool bag with EVERYTHING short of a jack, as well as my 1/2" torque wrench.

Everyone knows you were at the party the next morning because you left your mark on the driveway.. Ha ha, you should see where I park on my driveway. I thought of another good one: You are constantly telling people to not worry about that sound your car just made.... (bov, shutterbox, driveshaft hangers loose)

I am also sorry for the loss of young lives, but also still tired of the "poor me, I was shot at" stuff. There are a lot more people killed on our own roads each day...how about some pity and respect for me because I have to go out there and drive on our dangerous roads each day? I could sit down and tell you about crashes I have been in and seen..... And now it turns out you are not even Military? You CHOSE to go over there..so stop asking for sympathy... And we can SUPPORT our troops WITHOUT going over there and being shot at....I personally don't consider you a hero, but a whiner!

Wow guys, let up a little. A little jab was thrown at some of the posts he's made here recently. I didn't even think it was in poor taste.
But to start flagging the guy for what he did or did not have to face overseas... take that off the board, it has no place here.

Sorry Mike....but I can have sympathy for what he had to face, just not for his attitude. This guy seems to feel that he has now paid his dues for his whole life and everyone should pity him forever for what he has faced... and that I don't buy.
I am not even sure what "flagging" is, and if I have done something wrong, I apologize. I thought I was merely expressing my opinion...a privilege that we have largely because of the people who HAVE laid down their lives for us.

So is now a bad time to come back in with:

When you can understand the following:
The POS DSM threw a CEL, and my WB show's a lean A/F. The CEL was code 14, TPS. I have been having some I/S, replaced the TBSS, BISS o-ring, IAC, TPS, CTPS, did a BLT, and now I'm leaking from my SMIM (Damned Magnus...). I thought I had a bad CP because I had a misfire at high RPM, so I changed it. Now it sounds like a leaky BOV under boost! I've adjusted my MAF-T, tightened my bolts on the CHRA to the C/S of the Turbo, the EX MANI has no leaks, and my WG is fine. Perhaps I should check the FMIC for BL's on my next BLT? I suspect a BL because my GM MAP shows 10 PSI, but the MAFRAW is sky high! My MAF is pre-turbo, because I don't like venting the BOV.
