You know what doctorphat? If you consistently say incongruent and nonsensical things in an open forum expect that people will point and laugh, and some of them will actually post that they are pointing and laughing.
A few examples:
Saying setting up gears is not really that hard when apparently you did not set them up but simply installed them and got lucky that they were "right", what would you have done if they were wrong without real tools?
Saying that it was too hard to change a fuel pump which required tools that you did not have (a hammer and brass punch) and then complaining about paying for it.
I am not attacking you but just trying to help you see why some many people roll their eyes when you post. Maybe you should "troll" through all your posts and see how this happens, maybe do it with a objective 3rd party.
But I and many others do take offence to you referring to long standing members, including our President as trolls. These are people who attend meetings, arrange events, lead trails and are paid members of OVO. Maybe you should read Mitko's signature and take it into consideration.
They can roll their eyes if they want. At the end of the day if they want to be childish let them.
I have admitted that I set my gears and it was easy for me because I was pretty close, and if I couldnt get it to work I would have simply came inside, looked it up online found I needed to use a special tool to remove or set something else and I would have gone out and rented that tool. Or more likely drove down to my stepfathers shop and borrowed his tools.
I said Mitko was a troll, whether or not hes the president, long standing member or my god damn mother doesnt make a difference. He started trolling me like 2 years ago because he got butthurt that I said I prefer jeeps over G-wagons and ever since hes been acting like a big damn baby. I'm fine with people not liking me, and you can roll your eyes at me if you want, there are a few people that I met through this board that don't come back because they were made fun of, trolled or whatever so if you've got this idea that I'm the only one whos ever had a problem here get that out of your head.
Being a long standing member of a club doesnt automatically make you right, intelligent or respectful. Our actions every day show our worth as a person and clearly Mitko's worth is about the same as a bag of peanuts they give out on planes. I however, while for sure not as experienced in either wheeling or mechanics am still a better person. Why? Because I don't make fun of people just to increase my own self worth. I've gone out and helped a few people on this board that asked for help and nobody would go so this long standing joke that I bail all the time is complete BS. I work my ass off in my career and I've got a dying aunt that I take care of so I'm sorry if shit changes and I need to go bring her food instead of going wheeling or visit her in the hospital or go see a client.
I just think too many people here judge me before they even know me nor do they know what I have done for others. And its a free country, judge away but those who do know me personally and know that I always put the needs of my family and friends above my own needs are rolling their eyes at Mitko and his minions.
And Baja I realize I've bailed on you 3 times in the past for various purchases but assuming I'm just going out drinking with my buddies is an incorrect assumption, as I stated above I take care of my aunt and when I realized you were in renfrew and said I needed to reschedule its because I make her dinner almost every night and when I cant afford to pay for stuff its because I'm paying for her in house nurse and all her meds.
It really bothers me that I need to explain stuff constantly to some of you where as others simply get it that not everyone in their mid 20s with a decent job is well off and doesnt have anything to stress about. I shouldn't have to explain my self and I'm not going to anymore. This is me giving an explanation to those who deserve it and people like Mitko can saud off frankly.
Especially since the CT near him supposedly closes at 1PM (if I recall correctly). Also he is still going to Lavant tomorrow?
The CT beside my place closes at 4pm yes, I went to the one beside my girlfriends place in ottawa on Merivale. No I'm not going to Lavant as its clear I'm not welcome by anyone in this club so thats fine.
I find it pretty sad that so many people here as gossiping little girls and immediately jump on the flame wagon.
/rant over.
I fixed it, I spent 2 hours trying to get my arms up in there to get to the CPS before I said screw it. I took it to midas, the mechanic who was about half my size managed to reach up in there and change it within 40 minutes. so that was money well spent frankly.
This is a good example of why I don't trust old volt/amp meters. I tested the sensor before I changed the fuel pump with an old one I had laying around because wouldnt you know it, after my room mate moved out I seem to also be missing my kick ass one I paid $60 for. When I tested with the old one everything showed fine according to the guide I found on the internet which I thought was odd because on top of Mudlite suggesting CPS, I had also suspected it based on what I had read on the internet about the symptoms but when that came back within the ranges I ruled it out and did the fuel pump. When I went to midas to have it changed I borrowed the mechanics meter and tested it again and sure enough it showed bad so ofcourse there were a few curse words thrown around but whats done is done.
