Tom Renzo is a BITCH???
arrassed.
Sorry to hear that Tom. We may argue a bit, but no name calling.
Tom, I've stated here before. I like you. Who cares who calls names? It's not high school anymore. let the girls call names and argue. Walk away from it, move on with the day, and let them do as they may.
I definitely don't see eye to eye with a few members on here, but it's like it has been said above, we can argue with each other all day long, but the REAL car guys won't go that low. Sorry to hear that happened to you, keep building your cars though.
Thats py to hear man. I know youve helped me out! some people are just mean...
Lol @ Facebook drama.
LOL, Caught up in FB drama. That
IS pretty weak and unacceptable though. Can't blame you for feeling jaded about it. If it's not a poster here, and you feel it's wrong to out them weather or not it is, why bring the drama here?
Quite far fetched? I won't comment on the turbo porsche because I don't care about it but It's perfectly conceivable that the "new" Camaro got beat by a turbo coupe provided it was reasonably modified. I'm surprised your T-coupe(s) don't run faster than a new Camaro.
Don't be embarrassed Tom. It reflects on their idiot behavior to say those things, not you.
Thanks i just was taken back. But i can understand them. Maybe i do come on to strong. But then again at my age things can be said that annoy people. I have to do some soul searching i guess. Either way i like this site very much and 99.9% of you guys are AWSUM. I may not be the sharpest Knife in the draw but i have cut a lot of stake. Thank You guys you made me feel much better. Now lets talk CARS. Thank you so much
If it makes you feel any better, I'm a bitch too :D
I won't even go near FB.....hate the thought of my wife dabbling in it also but she's a big girl (in age, not size! ;) ) so I'll let her make her own decisions.
Tom......I wouldn't even give those turds a second thought. I read your posts and weight the advise according to the topic. Your brake line suggestions were GREAT!! Keep on posting, brother.........but I am kinda bummed about a bunch of good info you deleted. Life goes on.........
Well i like that maybe i should be BITCH SLAPPED. Never thought about that angle of the issue. Thanks and have a great day Thunder.
Dan dont worry i have tuns of floating around in my BRAIN. Over the years i have lost many things. But i really MISS MY MIND. Dont worry i have loads of things i will post. By the way how is that brake system you are building coming out. That new hard line is AWSUM RIGHT. Easy to flair and work with and rust free. What else can a person ask for??? Well maybe a BLOND!!!! Or a BRUNETTE!!!!
That's the problem with using your real name. People can call CoogarXR a bitch all day long and I won't take it personal, lol.
That is great, I will use that one. Ive alway appreciated your help and input.
just remember... if people call you things behind your back, they aren't really your friends, or worth the trouble to worry about... I'm sure people talk about me behind my back too... but I don't care. the last person who acted like that to me on FB.. I told them right out in a post. "Listen here Zippy, If you have a problem with me....... Un-friend me"
They did
that's all I have to say bout that.
I............I.........I had no idea...................Wow. Now I can't help but wonder how many more there may possibly be lurking around here. I feel like the walls are closing in.
Yes Tom I seen that post also, was quite surprised about it. I have no problem with you, I think it is an asset to have someone with your experience on the board. I asked about the post but got no response??!! I think we are all "bitches" sometimes...lol.
Just ignore it and move on. Who cares.
Facebook only becomes drama if you let it.
But...sometimes I use it to air a thought...although I'd never call someone out in such a manner as that.
I'd not give it a second thought Tom....after all, they were making cars long before facebook ;)
You should see some of the facebook bullying that goes on in high schools. My sister was caught up in some dram a few months ago. I couldnt believe what kids were saying. I ended up intervening. The attacks stopped, but i felt really bad for humiliating someone that way. Its really bad with girls. They are mind ninjas, after all. :)
Tom, sometimes you have to put a positive spin on things. I personally would be rather called a bitch on face book that by someone in the next cell! LOL
...as far as the guys that started this , they can go :nannerbang:
( I used the smileys that are listed here so I HOPE I'm still within the rules of etiquette...if not feel free to remove this post :D )
Are you trying to say those people can go make mad banana love?
Ya, that's the polite way of saying it. LOL
Some might say that would be a pealing.
some people would bitch even if they were hung with a new rope, social networks typically are not for type A personalities anyway...that should be in the terms and conditions.
Compared to a Mustang forum I stumbled across today before work, facebook is pretty tame. At least..mine is.
I've also got a habit of deleting or otherwise hiding the drama-mongers...there's a couple more popped up that I need to go stamp out.
If i want to watch Jerry Springer, I'll download a few episodes...I don't wish to see the on my FB wall.
Well again thanks Guys you made me feel much better. But i am going to watch how i post things. No more it is my way or the high way stuff. Everyone had different ways of doing things and that is a fact. So in a way i actually learned a little humility and i think that is good. I also learned that you guys are OK in my book and i respect that very much. Now FACE BOOK. My wife of 39 Years St Patrick's day laid the law down about FACE BOOK. STAY OFF IT OR ELSE ZIPPY. My wife is the BOSS.
Love that ZIPPY made my day. Have not heard that in years. Made me laugh Thanks
Priceless come back!!
Tom, sometimes you have to put a positive spin on things. I personally would be rather called a bitch on face book that by someone in the next cell! LOL
Cougar man thanks for the kind words. And that applies to all of you. That post on FB really took me back. But you guys made me feel GREAT yesterday. And i had to change a CRANK SENSOR on a Detroit MB 900. The worst job in the world. I did it with a smile thinking how you guys cheered me up. I was thinking about your posts and giggling to my self while changing it. One of my younger guys mentioned that i changed the sensor with a smile on. He asked me why so happy RENZO. I said JOSEPH some guys this morning made me feel great. His reply was Great because i did not want to change that dam sensor. ( TRUE STORY) Have a great day guys.
Humility. That's the word. Doesn't matter what we've done before, or will do. Everyone is worm food in the end. :)
Tom, keep doing what you've been doing. When everyone else is smart enough they'll come around.
The thing to remember is these people have not really met you. This makes their opinion baseless. Yes, your posts seem to come on a little strong, but that is the reason you have got in so well with some long time members at this site. Every post you make gets a responce, good or bad. Some of my posts are ignored.
Chrome that is my point. I used to think that way and it is wrong. Everyone has good ideas and should be listened to. I learned that recently. I have learned a lot from this site and freely admit it. I have also posted things that were wrong. So that is what things are about Individual preferences and ideas. Example people collect EDSEL'S They are actually great cars but they are UGLY to me. But to some they are the CATS BUTT.
this tom renzo guy, he's a real butthead! lol just kidding.. but with these social networking sites, such as FB/myspace/etc, the a-holes really shine.. they talk down on your stuff because they're jealous, that's all.. so don't let their bunched panties ruffle your feathers
Tom I am a little unsure about which way of thinking is wrong. Kind of proves what I was saying. We can't hear the tone in your voice or the expressions on your face. We are just getting a small sample of you. Automotive opinions are simple. You either like what you see or you don't. To each his own. Opinions of people are a little different. Must get to know the true u to make a good opinion. Be yourself, just be mindful of peoples differences. I was just saying that u must be doing something right here. Just look at what Vinnie had to say about u. Don't know what he thinks of me.... Probably thinks I'm a wierdo because of how I am so obsessed with his Sport....Than again, he is obsessed with it too. Lol Just remember, you can't make everyone like you no matter how hard you try. By the way, Edsels are one of the best cars ever built, but I agree they are just UGLY!
Well, we're all different, but yet we're all here because we have a certain odd fascination with a certain car(s) that 75% of the world have no clue about.
There's gonna be some bitching occasionally...yeah, I'm not above it myself. Tom Renzo ruffled my feathers a little when he first started posting here....but I got over it. He DOES have some neat info...if he seems a little bone-headed....well, we car guys sometimes get that way..
Some of us don't like the LS engines. That's fine.
Some of us don't like 5.0 Fords.
Some don't like the 2.3, or 3.8 or...
Personally, I don't have much fondness for throttle body injected SBC engines (305/350 in my case) but I'd love to have a Vortec 350, never mind an LS2 in my blue K1500 truck.
Oh, before I forget...a lifelong Chevy fanboy who I've worked with for years bought an '84 Caprice the other day....tells me it has a 267 ci V8...because that's what stamped on the front of the block. I laughed hard...then told him the same thing was cast into the block on my '94 Caprice with the 4.3 L99 V8....his jaw hit the floor. Guess he didn't read the book on that one...
Told him to look at the driver's side head on the back, with a mirror, and that will tell what size it is...usually.
He's also the guy who ripped the TPI induction from his IROC-Z car and replaced with a f*cking Holley.
Because plugging a scanner in is so hard.
Anyway...yeah, I'm babbling again. I'm drunk, it's weekend. Y'all have a good one. Cheers Tom. Y'all are alright.
havent had much chance to cross you wrong tom, cant speak to that but i can say that you seem very well diverse, its good to be like that but not around specialty knowledge base. i can chase down car issues all day long as long as its a bird/coug.
Got a call the other day from a guy who heard i could trouble shoot to component level and asked if i would take a look at his oldsmobile (((BODY CONTROL MODULE!!!!!!!!!!
I said ~body what? YUP there is one and it controls the body.
but im sure someone like you was well aware of that long ago. I dont do wrenching for a livin , you do so that helps us out here, lots of other wrenches doing it for a living here to but you pipe up alot with a good bit of information.
LOL the BCM controls functions such as tail lights, head lights, dash lights, power windows/locks, radio, etc etc.. dumbest thing on earth and SUPER shotty.. they're pr0ne to constant failure
