I don't get your reference. Mine was a paraphrase on "it's the economy, stupie" of a few years ago. I guess it went over everybody's head.

No...

what went over your head was that you were wrong, and if you'd taken the time to read the thread you would have known that.

Really, I'm not understanding why you're trying to defend the high ground from the bottom of that hole!

What is your problem, dude? I apparently offered just as much help as you as the problem is still unresolved. Does having Dr in front of you internet name make you feel superior or something?

You offered all of NOTHING as far as help goes.

Go back to the NUTS, as I'm sure that's where you came from judging by how you post.

Wow, you're just a winner here! So here is my list of issues....

1) Didn't read the thread, and offered insulting comment (just cause it's a reference to a past insult in the popular culture doesn't make it proper).

2) Bringing in references to the sawdust

3) Bringing in the reference to the explorer.

4) "Must be you then." Real helpful that one!

5) I can tell you're no noob here, you have lots of information about pimp'ed efforts, both the good and the somewhat misguided.

Don't play all innocent that you're just here to help. Batting your internet eyelashes saying "who me?" ain't gonna cut it. From where I sit, you're here to have recreation like a cat recreates with a mouse. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

Sure there are places and venues for this type of stuff, but I'd hazard to guess that this isn't it.

Matt

You have a lot more issues than that, trust me. In your esteemed opinion, have you ever been wrong. I doubt it.

dont just go by the numbers. if everything was perfect by numbers,
even MINI's will not breakdown.

Rebel, you are out of line. Get a life. This person is obviously having a problem and a lot of folks are trying to help. You are just prolonging the process which could have been resolved by now. You didn't happen to own a Honda before, did you?

Some can be wrong most of the time,
and all can be wrong some of the time,
but all can't be wrong all of the time?

or is that none can't be wrong none of the time?

or all aren't wrong all of the time?

Sorry Pres Lincoln...

Matt

ps, I think we're all waiting for Pimp'ed to swap his starter... After he fixes his flat.
