Strike 6,049 Posted yesterday at 08:54 PM I'm Chinese, and my family used to go to Chinatown regularly to eat authentic Chinese food, and I was the only one using a fork because I could never master chop sticks. Fock them. We live in civilized society where we don't need sticks to eat our food. And I can't whistle either. Fock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drizzay 760 Posted yesterday at 09:32 PM I know jack sh!t about car engines. I can change a tire, change oil, and change out brake pads and rotors, but that is really it. I never learned the ins and outs of an engine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can do easy stuff myself, now I pay for it as a convenience. But tough jobs i don't care to see if I can do it or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or numerous other issues around the country? As a Christian, I won't discuss specifics about what you shared here a while back. You seem comfortable doing so, though. Because you aren't really a Christian, in the true sense. This place would be better if you just delete your account. Or perhaps as a negotiation, you could just stick to bad advice on the Main Board and never post on the Geek Club again. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I never learned the ins and outs of an engine. I like learning about cars and engines and know a lot of the basics. But I absolutely hate wrenching and fixing them. There's never enough room to get to the bolt you're trying to get your socket on, nothing ever comes out/goes in easily, then you're left with a big greasy mess and bloody knuckles.
