That will be strange since there are zero carpets that I walk on that are within a few feet of a door (only area rugs). I did however promise my young niece that she could cut my hair tomorrow... so I fully expect your juju to make me end up with a freakin mohawk.

Perhaps.

lol

Nope. I have read along the entire time.. Your argument has morphed into it's current state but you DID say...

And THAT is where I corrected you. You were WRONG. He used it exactly how he meant it.

You SHOULD have said...

Yes, words do have meanings. The Industry is young (as I said) by comparison to every other industry out there(as I said), and is only contested in youth by a handful of other industries, of which, have been spun off from other, much older industries.

No, it isn't.

Libertarian is a pretty spot on description of me, and nothing he has said to me about his view on politics, says Libertarian. The fact that he says he has no view on politics, should be your first clue. Libertarians have a very specific and centric core philosophy that is conveyed in their politics.

He is not one, he is however, very liberal.

There might be better suited allegiances for him to claim, but of the predominant philosophies spoken or popular, he is more liberal than anything else.

1. They can because they do not carry insurance, offer warranties, and do not pay legal taxes, most of them do not file taxes, and work under the table. Because of this need, because they are undocumented, they have to work less appealing jobs where they can be paid next to nothing, under the table, for tax reasons to their employer.

Trust me, I know how that world works all too well.

They might be true grinders, but they do it illegally and do not benefit anyone in this country in doing so. In fact, because of them, more is spent because of them, than they bring to us in the savings on cheap labor, not to mention they represent a HUGE liability for many industries due to their undocumented work that must be written off by others.

You say they work hard.

Try working 60 hours a week and going to school full time, all of it lawful, paying taxes, paying tuition, and without using anyone else to lean on financially. Did I mention the part where I was running my own business on top of that?

That's hard work, and I know White Americans that work MUCH harder than I do.

Your life experiences thus far have lent you to a very dangerous, very wrongfully opinionated stance on politics, yet you claim no political view.

You might want to check that again.
Hell hath no fury?

NO, I shouldn't have said that. My argument had nothing to do with American workers up until that point, neither did the context of the post.

Just as he shouldn't have said entitled when referencing his Mexicans being cheap in response to mine about the fact that they do not pay for insurance or carry warranties.

A point you've been avoiding this entire time, because if you admit it was said, you lose the debate, to refute the claim that it was said, breeds ignorance of the fact.

Basically, you lost this debate before you posted, because you forget to consider or check the context of the response before you tried to correct me.

You lost bud, sorry.

And if you continue to claim that you've won, I'll repeat again.

Did the OP not reply or acknowledge the reference that Mexicans are cheap because they do not have to carry insurance, or carry a warranty?

Simple yes or no here.

As a side note, I'm going to start knocking up the price of my posts by 120%. I've refined my posting style for years to entertain you people, and you can't get this kind of high quality posting anywhere else.

Putting this here for later use.


con·text
[kon-tekst] Show IPA
noun
1.
the parts of a written or spoken statement that precede or follow a specific word or passage, usually influencing its meaning or effect: You have misinterpreted my remark because you took it out of context.

Is English your first language? I'll let this all slide if your using Google Translate for all of your posts.

You're slipping and sliding all over the place on this debate. Let me give you an example of what you sound like.

ME: Bluebirds are blue! I hate Bluebirds.

YOU: You obviously don't understand what the word BLUE means.

ME: Um, Bluebirds ARE blue and I don't like them at all.

YOU: You're wrong not to like bluebirds! They are nice birds!

ME: Well they ARE BLUE and no they are mean ass birds.

YOU: Bluebirds are nice to people they are only mean to other birds.. that makes them nice!

KCNATIVE: Um, I think Austinchief is right, bluebirds are blue.

YOU: NOPE he clearly doesn't understand the meaning of the word blue! I proved that when I said they were nice! CONTEXT! DEBATE OVER I WIN!

Did that make any sense? It shouldn't. It follows the same lack of cohesion and logic that your argument does.

Hootie's argument about Mexican workers being cheap had to do with a lack of a sense of entitlement. YOU brought in the lack of overhead. He is free to admit that that is ALSO true but it doesn't invalidate or have ANY bearing on his original point.
AGAIN.. you were WRONG to say he shouldn't use the WORD... you can argue that he was wrong to make the point but it doesn't change the FACT that in CONTEXT he still used the word to correctly convey how he felt. Right or wrong on his point his word choice was fine.

Would anybody be upset if I closed and hid this trainwreck?

This makes me want to lock Exotar and Denise in their own forum. They could argue in circles, completely missing each others point, until their hands cramped up...

No

Move up the latter. Lol

Heh, just move it over to DC.

And ftr this guy knows absolutely nothing about the quality of work I demand leaving my shop or my actual education level.

So talk it down all you want douche.

Btw I've never seen a super diagnostic hero have a Monday off.

Especially at a dealership. Must be low on that totem pole to have had to work a Saturday.

There is so much potential here it would be a shame to see it go

i only wannnnabe with yoouuuuuu

I'm not sure why we would want to kill this thread, it could be very informative for anyone who needs to replace a passenger side mirror in the future. I think there are at least 5 or 6 posts that actually discuss the process.

No one proposed getting rid of the door and replace the door as a unit.

Nor did we ever really establish the mirror was ever actually on correctly. Hootie may have just noticed it was buggered up.

Whats it cost to have a door installed if you have the new door and all you need done is remove and replace?

I'm not reading through that AC, what I do know is that you did not answer my question of context, you ignored it because you know you are wrong.

I questioned the usage of the word based on the context, you weren't following this thread post by post so you jumped in to correct me, only to be found wrong because your interpretation of his intent, didn't follow the context.

So, if you'll politely **** off instead of trying to retread this debate into something it isn't, that would be great. His context bred the misuse of the word. Simple as that.

Go for it.

Belonging to the final stages of something.

Jason, I don't know your work, and I don't know your education.

That being said, since you trashed me on MY education, and trashed me on my hours, it leads me to believe that not only am I more educated than you are, but I do better work.

Don't like it, eat a bag of dicks. You work in the sticks, I worked in the metro. I serviced more cars with a higher demand for quality than you do. Simple as that.

Now, get over yourself and get back to work Mr. busy.

wtf happened in this thread?

Mexicans apparently.LMAO

It went full Chiefsplanet.

Exoter shot a wad full of his AIDS all over it...he contracted them at an Ivy league school when he got his Jiffy Lube degree.

How's your mirror?

Get a mexican to fix it yet?

Wow, that is one radically complex mirror. Might be cheeper to just trade the car.

It takes an hour to fix. AN HOUR. Aint nobody got time for that, junk the car and buy a bicycle.

i trashed you on artificially inflating your hours.

i also trashed you on your education because you are spewing shit that is actually in NO WAY FEASIBLE in a real world environment and made absolutely no sense (about brake lines).

i could give a **** where i work or where you work.

i actually FIX cars.

every day. where my shop is located has NO BEARING on my competency as a mechanic.


and i worked for quite some time in that very same metro area as you did. i'm here because thats the way I CHOSE to live my life.

only person full of themselves around these parts is you.


kindly go **** yourself. i have work to do. its beginning to appear you are umemployed

no he couldn't provide to me the proper degrees or certification...I told him at the very least he'd need his bachelors and he told me he wasn't really a big Sean Lowe fan

yeah i know the definition of latter.

just wondering how it worked in the context of your post.

You trashed me on something I didn't do, such as artificially inflating my hours, which I don't.

You trashed me on my education because I have more than you do. Your quote was "Overeducated knowitall".

You trash me left and right for "failed businesses" when each of them was profitable, and one I sold FOR a profit.

And you had zero room to talk down to me in the other thread, as I was 110% correct on everything I said.

It isn't my fault I knew more about the topic because I went to school for it.

I explained how it was and you got on MY case about it, not the other way around. You tried to correct ME about 110% factual information.

Why? Because the almighty Sauto is the king of cars on CP and will not be challenged by any man apparently.

Guess what Sauto, I'm smarter, more successful, and I know more about cars than you do because I decided to become educated in them, beyond what I already knew.

Congratulations though, you do have more experience.:thumb:

He's too entitled, right?

no such thing as an entitled mexican in america

those are called domesticated mexicans

get with it

You might be content being just an everyday mechanic, I am not. I want to be at the end of my career field, which is why I went to school for it.:thumb:

They hop the fence into my country and expect to work because they'll undercut everyone else's rate.

That's entitlement.

without mexican's good luck enjoying a tasty meal at TGI Friday's...

no you were WRONG 100% Wrong.

you arent the only person that ever went to school for mechanics buddy.


hell you even said all brake lines on a vehicle had to be the same lengthLMAO

might as well put me back on ignore dude.

mr. unemployed

unless you're ok with 45 minute appetizers and hamburgers that taste like ghetto nutsack

Heh.

It'd be more believable that you weren't inflating your hours if you weren't on a discussion board at 11:30.

Put the phone down, pick up a wrench. Lunch is at noon mother****er.

:evil:

The real question: does the bachelors have to be in some fashion of automotive repair?

Throw the art and history majors a bone here.

Grease Monkey FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just read through everything I missed in this thread. Best and worst hour of my day. I feel smarter and stupider for having done so. Now, I'm hungry.

Any Mexicans want to go pick me up some lunch?

Yeah it would still be "move up the ladder"

but you know it all, right?
Posted via Mobile Device

You guys don't use ladders. That's a construction worker.

We can tell who ain't got their Masters.

Have them pick me up a Jack Daniel's sampler platter at TGI Fridays.

all I'm saying is

TGI Friday's...Chili's...Olive Garden...Bennigan's...any chain

The Mexican's are doing the cooking...and they aren't wearing gloves in case you're wondering. I promise.

600 posts.


600 mother ****ing posts over a mirror.

:facepalm:

and I've had two great ideas over the years and one of the is 1-800-callamexican

hungry for a place that doesn't deliver? Shit, call a mexican...throw 'em a $5.

don't feel like mowing the lawn?! Call the mexican hotline...throw 'em a $20.

don't feel like banging your wife? Call a mexican...he'll do it free. Don't matter what she looks like.

Wtf happened here?

Now that we have the passenger side covered, can we discuss the procedure for the driver's side?

CP is awesome sometimes isn't it?

And Exorter,

Henry Ford began MASS PRODUCTION of the Model T in 1908. Automobiles were being made prior to this as well.

Only in your self important "I went to mechanic's school" mind is the automotive industry considered in adolescence. Relative age to other industries doesn't mean shit. The actual activity determines where in the industry life cycle is a certain industry.

this place went to hell ever since they banned Short Leash Hootie

Screw that guy. He thought Michael Jordan was a great basketball player. We don't need people like that around here. We need people who still say that Jake Long was a better choice for the Dolphins than Matt Ryan would have been.

He must have never seen Kobe Bryant play...

see the post where notorious pasted a link to a picture of a monkey sitting on the drivers side......it will crack you up

That was 11tybillion posts ago. You know, back when we thought this thread was going to die.

can't help it....the look on that monkey's face makes me laugh just thinking about it

if anyone is bored I could probably find a way to steer this off subject and make it last another 400 posts

Still funny.

Hootie, you could start a thread about dirt and it would explode to 1000 posts.

That's exactly what happens when you hire a mexican. Had you paid the extra 10% labor hour that mirror would be monkey-free.

I know a Portugese who would remove that monkey in exchange for a small bag of Doritos.

I can't tell if this thread is in its:

A) infancy

B) adolescence

C) maturity


I'm not sure any thread gets beyond B here at CP, so maybe both B and C apply?

Graph or GTFO

I'm still getting my certification graph making. Only 26 more hours of classroom instruction. These guys really know graphs!

Being an expert on general automotive knowledge, can you tell me...what would the correct ignition timing be on a 1955 Bel Air Chevrolet, with a 327 cubic-inch engine and a four-barrel carburetor?

5 degrees BTDC?

Lol. What should the dwell be?
Posted via Mobile Device

That's a bullshit question.

Why Saul?
Posted via Mobile Device

Dont dwell on that. Thats the point. Plug this.

18465372

Lol, bug.
Posted via Mobile Device

Its 719pm. Do you know where your feeler gauge is?

Because Chevy didn't make a 327 in '55. The 327 didn't come out until '62, and it wasn't offered in the Bel Air with a four barrel carb 'til 64. However, in 1964, the correct ignition timing would be four degrees before top dead center.

I actually had a customer give me an old dwell meter when I opened the shop. It's in a nice wood box and has the original manual. It has the dwell settings for most cars that had points. Timing settings. Carb settings.

It's a pretty cool old tool. I still have it
