Cool, though I understand what you are saying. I've only worked on about 5 or 6 thousand cars in my past. I should get by.
The sign was based on you talking about a you tube channel. Stop being so overly sensitive, it's not your style dude.
5,000 cars? cool, you should really share some of your extensive knowledge on this site, it's what it is all about.
I tried. I started investigating "heat soak" to get an idea about momentary or cumulative damage to starters and/or other components. I was going to write a blow-by-blow troubleshooting thread on this and other starting problems. After all,
this was up my alley, more or less. In my enthusiasm, I plum forgot that dougie had changed his starter, and then the thread went down the shitter, as you saw. Queries such as "what is heat soak" and "what did the Chevy guys do back then" were related to the stream of logic. There's nothing more unrewarding than being insulted right in the middle an effort.
In my 23 years on the Net, I have never apologized for flinging poop at someone. I did this time because I insulted his
car. That's too low, even for me.
Years ago, in the other forum, I tried to get some interest in fitting a modern, high-power stereo and alarm into a classic car, which would have involved revamping the charging system, designing enclosures, installing power locks, etc. No one bit. I mean, after all, there are other forums for stereos. Right?
It's not that I have a fragile ego. It's that I get frustrated and annoyed easily.
