Default Re: SARCASM (DZAUTO)

I do have one more comment here. I have seen several posts about stupid questions. Ain't no such animal. None of us were born with a silver plated 9/16" wrench in our mouths so you have to learn somewhere. I started my auto experience with a brand-new, out-of-the-box 1972 Datcun 240Z (anyone know where I can find a nice one?) and drove that car for seven years. I learned lots from hanging out at the Air Force auto hobby shop. Same thing when I bought my first Corvette, a 66 driver. I asked every question imaginable, like what is a four bolt main, how does positraction work, etc.

I would suggest that first we look in the archives, then post the question here. Nobody has ever been flamed for asking a simple question.

Keep asking and learning.
Gary

.......i'd agree that it's important to acknoweldge the help we get from the pros....'though i'm not that concerned about repeat questions coming back for a re-review...take a look at the TheOman's post about sb oil pans where he sent the poster back to a thread where i had my shorts in a wad about hiperf oil pans and steering dampers - some other interesting stuff came out of that latter thread :yesnod:

I think it's largely a generational thing- you know, it's like when you pay at the register; the older cashier usually says "Thank You". The younger ones shove your receipt at you and say "There you go", if they say ANYTHING at all. There I go WHERE?
Or even worse, they wait for YOU to thank THEM for taking your money! Times have been too good for too long. All these rude, ignorant ingrates need a dose of reality, IMHO.
