I live In Minnesota so the roads can get kinda bad. But the point is when ever the wheels slip and slide a loud annoying screech sounds and I don't know what it is. I've been told it's very loud outside the vehicle. And help would be apriciated. Thanks Aaron

I did get a few good laughs reading those two posts. Somehow my mind keeps going back to my cousin vinny about the laws of physics or mud in the tires

Ezone I got a few letters like that at my old job we used to hang them up in the office on the wall of shame...

LOL'd literally. I must have missed that originally. I personally have said several times I can teach you but not understand it for you. The worst part about being a service manager is that the general public thinks they are mechanics but they are very ignorant on the subject but they don't realize it. Everyone wants work for free because "They could do it in half the time". "easier" you're a jerk , seems to me your "filter" is nill. My personal favorite quote is

"Build a man fire he'll be warm for a day. Sit him on fire, warm for the rest of his life."

ezone

Was any of that directed at me?

Those threads were from the year I was going through nicotine withdrawals. The filter was nonexistent most of that year.


BTW, I'm still nicotine free....Still want a cig a lot of the time though.

Ya, he called you ''easier". The lunacy of dealing with the general public as a mechanic or service manager is referenced as well.

Know what you mean about nicotine. I quit chewing 8 years+ ago, still want one EVERYDAY. It does get easier to handle cravings though. As an aside now that I'm a nurse I can say good for you man. Cigarette's are a silent killer, then what seems like all of a sudden when we age we can't breathe. COPD is a terrible disease to live with....

I went back and reread that post. I guess I skimmed and read that as "either".


That poster is the poster child for the Precious Snowflake Syndrome post. https://forums.craigslist.org/?act=Q&ID=171419738


Man, if I had known I was gonna live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself!
