Is it Just Me?

Fuck it, I'm gonna start my own thread for those of us who wonder, "Is it Just me?"

My car needs some front end work and I can't/won't pay someone else to do it, because I'm always afraid they aren;t really doing anything and just charging me. I've never done tie rods, ball joints, cv joints, control arms, etc. I'm going to go to a junk yard and practice on those cars. Is it just me?

Its not just you, I like to do as much of my own work as possible. If you have the free time and the skill to get it done yourself then its well worth it. Now adays you can learn anything on the internet. I remember I got a new tire a few years ago and the mother fuckers cross threaded one of the lugnuts with an impact wrench!!! I didn't find out until I tried to take it off while checking my brakes. that pissed me off. Now I know why another guy just brought in his rim+tire to be changed rather than letting the mechanics do it...thinking they're nascar pit crew or something.

I'm stuck at an airport due to snow at home and this fucking dude at the charging station thinks his every thought needs to be shouted from the mountain tops. And no one else wants to kill him, they are even encouraging his rambling. Is it just me shut the fuck up your life's a mess and I don't give a flying fuck about the potential of you having a layover and driving to your cousins aunt Mari in Maryland. Everyone's in the same boat here ya cunt

Oh yeah Clayton you can practice at the yard but just practice on the whip? You can always tighten something you loosen no harm no foul. Grab a pickle maybe it's called a yoke for the ball joints honestly everything you mentioned is a simple process I have faith in you.

Side bar the terminal is loaded with Jews now, I think the national Jewish accounting team just landed

Some lady has now sent me three emails. We have an anniversary event coming up where everyone who comes in the door up until 11am gets free shit. She apparently is pissed off that we are biased against those who eat after 11am and she can't get her fat fucking gravy cunt out of bed and to us before the deal expires. I want to tell her "fuck you- are you seriously complaining that you can't get something that is FREE???"

Here's her last email to me after I offered to extend the deal for the entire day to her and her alone:

"I don't want you to give me something to pacify me. I hate when Companies give more to someone who throws a fit than that they do for a good customer who doesn't. What I want to understand is why you would create this anniversary coupon that limits the customer who can use it. Why not something that ran all day long maybe not give to each person but appreciate people who shop all hours? Because it was a coupon online I sent the e-mail. You got the opportunity to hear my opinion, I could have just stopped shopping and you'd never know or know why. Breakfast is by far you're biggest crowd that's you big give away time and the coupon was sent to people who signed up for you're emails.

Hey Theresa, FUCK YOU. You are complaining about something that's FREE. If you want the deal, you come in like every other asshole before 11am. This isn't the first time an offer has limitations.


IS IT JUST ME????

Nah she's just green with envy you got a business and she doesn't. I'd thank her for her interest in my business practices and tell her that I charge $XXX.xx/hour doing business consultation, 2 hours minimum. Ask if she'd like to book a consultation and that you charge a minimum of 2 hours no matter how long or short the initial consult is.

LOL idiots :)

Yeah, I don;t know why it scares me. I have R&R'd my engine and changed my clutch twice on my 4x4. For some reason, the front end has always scared me. Thanks for the encouragement. I will look for my big boy pants after I finish my coffee.



....if anyone in the PDX area wants to help, or at least watch to make sure I;m doing it right.......

Oh, and yeah, Woody and Nugbong, that happened to me too. I had a nail in my tire and took it to Les Schwab, our local tire King, and the monkies used the 1/2" impact on my aluminum wheels (that's the prob, alum wheels and impact). I didn't know they had spun the lug bolt until I went to rotate my tires months later. I had to rent an acetylene torch to cut the wheel off. PISSED!

take it to the dealer & ask for your old parts back, good shops will give thme too you anyway. Most dealers are too big to risk their reputations & it's just parts to them...you might pay a little more but the mech is probably certified & it's not his first tire change...& he ain't doing it for bags of weed..

Well, at least you're male. Whenever I go to get as much as an oil change, I can expect the big grift the moment I pull into the bay. I fit the stereotype: female who doesn't know SHIT about cars. They see me coming a mile away. LOL. So I always just assume I'm getting ripped off. I love how I pull in for an oil change and suddenly they find all this other shit wrong with the car. And then speak to me as if I'm such a dumbass to even be driving this piece of shit given the condition it's in… Oh but they can fix it…..

I just always tell them, "Wwooooow, thank you very much. I had NO idea. I'll look into that though."
