of course, but i was being half serious and half sarcastic but im sure you got that already.

well first off i never said you were a moron or w/e i just said i definately knew more about cars than you did. just because you understand how a lugnut stretches doesnt mean you know about cars, now i understand that was just an example but knowing that doesnt matter, ill never have to diagnose a lugnut that doesnt stretch enough....so its useless.
congrats on all your schooling im impressed but at the same time i could give a **** less because if its going to make stuck up pieces of dirt like you than i could do without ya in the world. now yea i realize a 2 year school is nothing to you but its a degree not certificate and im going for 4 years and possibly 2 more for a masters., yes thats nothing to you, almighty one, but in my field its teh equivalent to w/e your doing or more im sure (considerign the grease monkeys around)
diskreet thanks for lookin out, im glad you qouted him before he decided to change it. so were you trying to say you know more than me by explaning hwo you can breakdown the expansion of a piston then following up with "i replaced a axle" please. yes brains is important and all but so is a freakin personality and although i cant decide on urs im guessing its not that great. btw i think a 4 year school for 13 a year and possibility of easily making 180-200k a year isnt bad, especially doing what i love.

oh and p.s. i took ethics also and youve used alot of fallacies

anyways ive made a few of the points/arguments ive had to make and since we all hate e-fights lets put this to an end and agree we both over-reacted.

Hey guys. This thread started nice and then get less funy. I know that in this forum are also non civic drivers which can produce some tension. But, just accept that "funy signs" and don't make comments on persons characters. We are different but that is not the point to blame others.
I liked the "funy signs", the resonable, ones and interpret this are simple car jokes. Maybe somebady know, in europe there was lots of jokes about the east german Trabant.

Well, the only thing I have against you at this point is that you are making fun of me for quoting my schooling when you where the one who brought it up. Then making fun of me for bring up worthless info when you first brought up that "piston are oval." I mean who cares, the geometery of piston only allows you to put it in 1 of two ways, of which for most cars it doesn't matter which way it goes in, that is equally as useless IMO. It's an interesting fact, but still useless. But enough of who said what first, we could probably go back and forth all day

As for replacing the axel thing, that's just becuase that's what I've had to do in the past couple of months. In my life I've rebuilt 3 engines (2 B16A's (one turbo) and one chevy 350 that I had in my 11 second camaro). I've also taken driving classes at Mid-Ohio race way.

Yes I know what a master mechanic is and the schooling they go through, if you can do that, go for it! I've got 2 good friends that have gone through being a master mechanic, and I know it's not easy. I don't think that is worthless or anything like that, in fact quite the contrary without their help I could have never rebuilt the 2 of the 3 engines I've done (the first engine I rebuilt was with Don Garlets). And no 2 year schools are not worthless, my fiance is going to one to be a dential hygenisit (sp?), the important thing to me is that you are doing what you want. You said this is what you love to do, so do it.

As for schooling, I'm far from high and mighty, the guy a few offices down from me has 4 PhD's, 8 Master degrees and 16 Bachelors degrees; that is my definition of smart, I am not smart. So I ask you not to be impressed because there are far more impressive people in the world than myself.

I changed what I said because after I read it agian, I decided I over did it and said somethings that where not correct, so I felt bad and wanted to correct it

Yeah, I took some civil class instead of ethic's.... maybe ethics would have been better But a class is not going to change a person, a teacher may, but class material will not.


Yes, this is getting stupid and we both over reacted. But at least we added to the post count in this thread

i've got a few myself...three 5 pagers next week, and a 10 pager in two weeks....but i am learning stuff right?
haha
it will be worth it when i get lots and lots of money

oh i ment to ask....in that post ncirom2003 posted talking about makein over 200k a year...i wanna know what the heck your major is?

 
Rep Power: 319

I think he said a Master Mechanic. I know here in the states they generally make around 50-100k, but if you can get into a place like Bently or something, you get $200k (but have to go through their certification program), not sure how it is Europe though.

 
Rep Power: 0

ahh ok thanks for the info

 
Rep Power: 310

well im in auto major, its a 2 year but 4 year option and 2 more after that option. with the bachelors degree people have made 150 give or take 20. (being service department heads at big dealerships or whatnot.) and if i go another 2 after that and get a masters in business id be hired instantly because not many people in my field have that yet. and so id demand higher pay and could get 200k, as for a master tech. they generally make 100k ish.
if i just did the 2 year, (no ase certifications yet) id get a job starting** at 40ish, but as they see what i can do pay would go up as in any job.

oh yeah, and there is supposedly a guy working on creating a program to make a doctrine degree in automotive tech. specifically. so i could literally become a car doctor lol.

 
Rep Power: 319

Any degree combined with a business degree is good. I was actually thinking of doing the samething, getting my foot in the door at some company, then getting a managment degree and moving up.

ok... school talk originating from a post about a sticker on a cheapo car...

my favorite sticker as of this year:

"If you can read this I can slam on my brakes and sue you"

i saw a focus the other day with one of the peeping kids...it had the word honda underneath the ****

 
Rep Power: 319

There is a neon (not the SRT4) at school that has a sticker that says "drive it like you stole it." That's not very funny or anything, what was funny was when I drove by and the tow truck was pulling his car out the bushes after he jumped the curb on a sharp turn.

Well anyone that says Mitsubishi rules and Honda sucks because they also make lawnmowers would be an idiot. Mitsubishi makes engines for lawnmowers too.

To make it even worse Mitsubishi bastardizes cars with Chrysler.

 
Rep Power: 0

I saw an offensive sticker as well. saying "hondas sucks" ww.showthedeals.com

 
Rep Power: 319

well, 1. Honda does make a darn good lawnmower far better than mitsu

2. Chrysler sold off their mitsu stocks 2 days ago, they have nothing to do with mitsu any more.

 
Rep Power: 253

Good... I hate Chrysler! lol

I really don't know much about Mitsu as far as engines and reliability. I think some of their cars look cool though.

 
Rep Power: 319

Well, if you like them, you better buy one soon, they may not be making car much longer after their lies and what not

 
Rep Power: 310

^ from what i heard thats only in america, supposedly chrysler was their life support and now without that they may pull out of america.
as for reliability i think they are alright but nothing compared to toyota or nissan and especially honda.

 
Rep Power: 361

Mitsu's quality is very good. They got a bad rap over the 1st and 2nd gen eclipses when people didn't maintain them enough. Lets see 200+ whp, turbo 4 cyl... yeah it needs maintenence more than a civic does.
i see 150,000+ mile eclipses all the time. there is nothing wrong with them.

and most other mitsus follow the same pattern. they last a long time but people are too lazy to take proper care.
