My bad experience was getting tires put on the 82 and they cracked a fender flare... :3d_frown:

Didn't notice til I got home so I just shrugged it off. it's like 1/8", so no biggie.

mounting and balancing tires with hand tools, that Id like to see. lol

Must be some new snap on hand tool set that I havent seen yet?:love:

You need a tire balance setup though which gets priecy. Im planning to buy one for motorcycle tires. The thing is a beast though and is not a hand tool.

The last time I took a tire off by hand I used a cutting wheel...

I'm just not patient enough I guess... plus Id scratch it all to hell. By tires somewhere and have them put on for free, thats how I roll.

Actually, this thread is about proffessional maintenance and repair.

Either you totally misread some of his posts or you're being a deliberate ass hat. He explained what happened, very detailed explanation, and even posted pics. WTF are you going on about?

Have you done any drugs in the last 24 hours Nick? LOL.

Yet you assclowns can't do basic maintenance and repair. Thread after thread of mindless destruction and incompetence. Why don't you ride a bike, since you can't fix your own car, and since technicians are mostly idiots, according to you.

yep... I do anything I can on my car that doesn't require specialized machines.

Like having my head rebuild (valve job, cutting the valves, head milled), or getting the tires mounted and balanced (yes I could use tire spoons, but FUCK THAT it's HELL and you're more likely to mess up your rim, then you have to balance, and that's not fun...)

Misread who, what or where? Show me what he said, and whomever it is you are talking about.

I hate garages(mechanics)

Am I missing something here? I don't think so. And the other guy who said the shop cut a chunk from his car, then said when did I say that. Did he edit the post over night?

You know, I used to have a little respect for you, but you've honestly turned out to be one of the biggest douchebags I've run into on this site.

Looks like a lot of rust on that new cut...

Implying that it's a fresh cut in which I responded with:

And if that confused you I clearified my interpretation of "new":

It's a new cut in the sense that it wasn't there when I bought it, but it's by no means a fresh cut and nowhere did I ever say it was. It happened last summer.


And edit my posts over night?? Please. They say the same thing they said yesterday.

He said a garage cut his car to put a battery tie down in.

You asked for pics.

He posted pics.

You said he was making stuff up and that there was a lot of rust around that "new" cut.

He never said it was a new cut, just that the shop made the cut, he never even said when it happened, after which he said it happened last year and that is the reason it has rust.

Your comments were totally out of place, rude, and uncalled for. Go back and read what he said and what you said, it's unbelievable.
