The things I see at work Reply #76 – December 15, 2012, 04:32:26 PM Ok Beau i did not know your name. Well i thought about what you said and to some extent i agree. So as i have my own conclusions of things and i use my experience i also dont want to insult anyone on the cars they own. But talking about cars is always controversial. Years ago it was Chevy V Ford. Now it is Foreign V American. I can understand why people buy certain cars for cost ETC. But on the other hand are the cars better, Just because they come with all kinds of warranties does not make them GOOD. It is come to light that we Americans build good cars and always have. But some use excuses and reasons not to own certain makes and models. With that it is clear that discussing this is like Politics ETC. Some are of different beliefs. Be it as it may i guess the bottom line here is some do not care about cars enough to decide which one is better than the next. Like i said i only see cars when they are busted. Weather foreign or domestic it makes no difference to me. So with that i will refrain from commenting on things of quality or origin of where they come from. As i say i dont care where they come from as long as the bottom line is money in the bank. Now Thunder chicken showed a rotted sub frame and this can happen for different reasons. What he does not understand is this is how he makes money and so do i. If cars did not break i close the shop doors and send 9 people to the unemployment line. So as i have a masters in engineering i was once asked by my professor many years ago to answer a question. If i got it wrong he said i would never graduate Here goesDoes a suspension bridge roadway that is cable strung like a BOW. With vertical cables. vary it's roadway from summer to winter. Another words does the roadway get longer or shorter in the summer. So with that i took your advice and wont trash anyones ride . Other than help with questions and answers if i can. By the way i answered the question correctly. I am also not here to bait anyone just help out with problems. OK and maybe if you and chrome will start over so will I. DEAL. BUT I STILL LOVE CHEVYS as i know you do also. I am willing to bet that. Thanks and Sorry Tom Quote Selected

The things I see at work Reply #78 – December 16, 2012, 12:16:21 AM Tom, you can call me Derik. You're not a bad guy, just a little high strung....er... lot high strung. Perhaps you can drink a beer or three before visiting. I found it odd that you said people from other forums said your inventions and clever repairs is the cause of the problem. When that is what the thread is about, you are at your best.... calm, and informative. I loved to read about your dizzy modifications. The smoke machine was totaly cool.I think you have already learned to keep certain ideas to yourself. Now, to go with that, if you see something you don't like or agree with, take a second look. You have seen more than we ever will, but you still don't know it all. If you look closer and try to see things from a different light, you may learn something. I will try not to engage when you go too far. Now, lets do better, and prevent more posts like #76. Quote Selected

The things I see at work Reply #80 – December 17, 2012, 12:33:27 AM Quote from: jcassity;404172another note,,it use to be, not so long ago, that when a person became of age with a vast amount of experience and they sure as hell knew what they were talking about,,,, everyone else would close thier mouths and open thier ears.... due to sheer respect. couple that with the fact most of these talented people rarely shared what they knew "unless they saw something in you" then they would mentor you.Now a days, if someone knows stuff, the majority of people have "computer balls" and they bash the people who know stuff.When i was a couple decades younger we use to call these people the "know it alls" and its my observation that these people who are Type A personality who appear to "know it all", 8 out of 10 of them actually do. So, end result for me was to "put up with the BS" because learning from the know it alls cant be all that bad.today, 8 out of 10 people dont care to know much of anything because if they did, they might have to work. Well said!! Quote Selected
