Im 33 and yet i get punks that want to post smart a remarks. witch is fine. iv built all kinds of cars from simple chevys to a jag that iv got to put a tranny in next week. So why all the drama on here if i ask a ? it means i need some help. Why the drama? yep im a newbe but im not scared to turn wrentches. And that goes for alot of us. :: angry :::: angry :::: angry ::
I like to think that age typically has very little to do with the people on here. Of course the general trend is that as people get older, they become more mature and in a group of younger car owners you will get more people being immature. That being said, sometimes you will get older people who are immature, and younger members who are quite a bit more mature.
The way you present yourself to other is going to affect the way they treat you. If you've never opened your hood before or if you've built 30 race-winning cars has almost zero to do with how you are treated here. If you take the time to be courteous and ask questions in a nice way you will typically get a nice response.
Unfortunately I am not aware of all of your other posts or why you think people here are assholes, but judging from the one post I can recall you've made (this one right here), I can fully understand why you may have received a cold reception. Please take the time to proof-read your messages and avoid sounding hostile towards others.
You likely can turn this all around, but this thread is not helping your cause. I'd love for everyone to fit in here on Supramania, but the fact of the matter is that not everyone out there can get along. If you put a small amount of effort into the way you post, others will do the same. If you don't (like this thread), others will likely not be that willing to help.
Hope this helps explain what you are perceiving as others being an asshole towards you. There are a lot of resources to be had here, I hope you find what you're looking for. If for some reason you feel another member is being overly hostile or rude, don't hesitate to report the post.
I'm significantly younger than you, and probably knew less about cars when I started getting into the online Supra scene, yet I have never felt people treating me the way you do right now. It's not because of what you or I know about cars, it's about your attitude and how you come across.
If you want a really quick tip, try to spell words correctly and use some grammar. (This is not intended as a flame or some such thing, I am trying to help).
Good luck.
