Well, the lying part is all kinds of stupid. I dunno why you would lie and expect it to be cheaper. Some people are incredibly vain though, like this guy who didn't want the mechanic to see the tank was empty. That said, I wouldn't say the guy is a retard...we're on an enthusiast/DIY-oriented forum and there is an expectation that people have a basic understanding of how things work. Some people just don't; I know a ton of them. Most mechanically inclined people know you don't want to get electronics that hot, but to some outsider, electronics look pretty sturdy because there aren't moving parts. But the lying part, yeah, that's really dumb.Comment

Even then, I don't think I know anybody who would bake their iPod or computer if it got wet... I do agree with you that most of us on here have no mercy for the non-mechanically inclined thoughOriginally posted by gearheadE30 View Post

"do you know what ABS is?"

Going on something like 30 years now as a BMW Tech and I'd thought I'd seen it all... This guy definitely takes the cake. :roll:Originally posted by JrCamacho View PostI'm Not Right in the Head | Random Rants and other Nonsense1st Order Logic Failure: Association fallacy, this type of fallacy can be expressed as (∃x ∈ S : φ(x)) → (∀x ∈ S : φ(x)), meaning "if there exists any x in the set S so that a property φ is true for x, then for all x in S the property φ must be true".Comment

Haha! Sometimes when people describe what they are telling me their problem is, they start to figure out that what they are talking about is ridiculous, or just stupidity. Always good for a laugh.
I stopped being a tech at a dealership because most of the work I was getting into was warranty work (and it pays shit). Every now and again people with money will actually do a timing belt service w/waterpump or something of that nature. When they see that CP is like $1000+ they start to shit their pants.Comment

hahaha! I've definitely had friends bring me their car because someone else "tried" to install their system..
Spliced harness, cut too short, I would always have to bring up the wiring diagram and "fix" what they messed up.
Why they didn't ask me first baffles me, I didn't even charge half the time. just a bowl and some beers!
I still get requests for "side jobs" and thats another reason why I didn't mind stop turning wrenches at the dealer.Comment
