I absolutely LOVE tax this analogy:

You've heard the cry: "It's just a tax cut for the rich!"

But what does that really mean?

The following explanation may help...

Suppose that every day, 10 men go out for dinner. The bill for all 10 comes to $100. They decide to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes, and it goes like this:

................................................................................

..........

I was trying to find the same analogy earlier and post it, but I bow to your google skills over mine. LOL

give the guy a break people he did say he didnt understand the net talk of "lol" and we all have our bad days, dont be so quick to judge n talk the fudge

id say its the issue of no tone of voice striking once again (which i did mention once before on a thread happens alot of forums) his joke got misinturpreted as a dig at the guy. the stirring after prob wasnt needed but not to worry.

anyone notice everyone gets along on cruises better than on here

i think people need to calm down. in the odd instance i get a message that seems a bit rude to me i 1st think is he just joking, am i reading this the wrong way :P generally people dont have digs on here its pretty safe to assume its a joke if your 50 50 people.

that and if we all stick to insulting me we'll all have a good laugh and i wont give a......now back on topic even though its a stupid polictical debate that i care not for :P

can i get 1 of those ban sticks n have like 2hr bans for people to stop venting on these here threads

but thats my half assed dribble

Well if he wants to misunderstand things, fine.

If he wants to walk out the door, fine.

But when I get a PM like this (for such a small comment):

You win

I think he's got a bit of a keyboard temper ... prob worse than me :O

Anyone else get PMs from him?

Its one thing to have your little dummy spit, but another to PM people and continue the sulking. Two simple words, but totally unnecessary nonetheless.

personally i didnt think you were that involved :P

Yeah ... I was like WTF?

Guess he's fishing for a reaction. But I don't play those games ................ anymore :O

Figured he was losing against Dean and went elsewhere. Bring on the SAU Special Olympics! :(

I had to pull out of the Special Olympics .. i broke my toe. :)

Bahahaha. Now you too can have a front page story dedicated to you. The perfect forum for a good old fashioned toe whinge! :P

Seriously, I doubt that guys in the Army. If you get pissed off/emo that easily, I really doubt the guy went thru basic. Like dean said, the army teaches you to harden the fsck up, and nobody with a pair of nuts is gonna go emo over being called a princess. (Because drill instructors call grunts princess often).

That and the fact he tries to use his 'job' as an argument of righteousness ala "I'm in the army, I know all about hard work, taking the piss, I'm tough, you're not, you fail" attitude. Ironically, the Navy has a higher level of discipline than the Army and it shows.

Only thing worse than a liar is a wannabe. Sure hope for his sake he is in the army.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
