Due to losing one car purchase?

Probably.

it isn't the loss of one car purchase that put them under . . . it is the loss of all that repair work to keep the car on the road

I find it somewhat funny that for a guy (MightyVersa) who normally posts atleast a couple of times a day...we haven't heard from since his post in this thread.

But is it really necessary to take that off? I've watch shops change my oil and filter and they have never had to take that off.

No, it is not necessary to take that off, i have changed it many times without taking it off.... but taking it off does make your life alot easier... it is way easier to keep everything clean if you take it off.....

I don't have the time or wanna hassle with my car for oil changes, especially when it's cold outside. I usually just bring it in to Grease Monkey, I watch what they do and make sure they do a good job.

So true. Having responsibility for a forum is often times much like work.
it's more like voluntary slavery.

even though I don't do a damn thing of use...

this thread reminds me that i need to change my oil...

Maybe there's a shortage of repair work at the Nissan dealer, causing him (MightyVersa) to lose income and get all kindsa cranky... perhaps he should try applying for a job at the Fiat dealer (do they still make those?).

I'm a certified Macintosh technician, all bow before me! Dare ye shall not attempt to replace thyne mouse or power cord thyself... else ye shall cause an economic collapse!!! ye... ugh...

You know, this entire economic recession started when a guy changed the spark plug in his lawnmower by himself? THE NERVE!!!

I change my own oil but had not taken the cover off. I was cursing the fact I had to become a contortionist. Thanks for the tip everyone!

PS: the neighborhood gas station is more than happy to take my oil to recycle.

Good observation BBishoppcm.

I think that mighty maybe out making some more of that big $ that he likes to brag about. Whatever.

Anyone that "has no problems eating anyone out" may be a little unstable. I feel sorry for his woman & kid.

This thread may have put him over the edge and when you live on an island that's not good.

I was on Probation, causing an absence from the Forum. Lost my position as an Auto Service Tech months back when I was in Alberta. Lost it because there was no work, so I was then put in Heavy Equipment (My 2nd Trade) and now am back home in Newfoundland making only $3000 a month until I go back up to Alberta maybe in a couple months time. When you haul in nearly $8000 a month, and then all of a sudden go to $3000, its hard, well not as hard as I make it seem. All my education is paid off, car is paid off, Mastercard is paid off, I have no bills but I still spend money on my Girl and Kid, thats why I dont have a rockin V like some of you do. I buy my son absolutely everything, from quads to ride on toys, each costing nearly $500 to $10,000. Now I cant buy him what I have been doing all along and it makes me feel bad, but after these couple days not being able to go on the forum, and seeing everyones reaction to my words, I officially apologize to everyone I have offended.

I am not asking for forgiveness because thats your own discretion to do so. Its hard leaving a job you absolutely love and live for, and twice as hard to drive through neighborhoods looking at all the other people doing exactly what I have been doing for the last 7 years in their backyards. No more ranting from me, I know where it gets me and for that, ill be here to help no matter how stupid the question, I can promise you that.

P.S. No more talking about my income and being full of myself, just good old honest help.

Wow...I fully expected on your return you would lash out and continue the "Good Fight" (<--sorry...I've been playing Fall Out 3 for the past month...so anyone who has played that will get what I put in quotes).

Anyhoo, congrats to your apology.

I think the negativity of this forum has just reached a critical mass in the past couple of months and a lot of users, myself included, is just tired of it.

And to tell the truth....I do watch Family Guy and the Simpsons, thats about it, I never though ANIME would be so popular amongst people today. I love playing X-Box and PS, all of the models, and at one point I actually had 4 X-Box's so my friends would come over and we would play with SL (System Link)....I guess I have some kid left in me myself.

not only that . . .

Fiat and Chrysler said Tuesday they have agreed to form a strategic alliance that would give the Italian auto company a 35-per cent stake in the troubled U.S. carmaker and could eventually bring it full control.

The deal means Chrysler, which is fighting off bankruptcy and struggling to sell less fuel efficient larger models, would have access to new markets and cheaper, more environmentally friendly technologies.

Fiat Group SpA, which makes Fiat, Lancia and Alfa Romeo vehicles, would gain a foothold in the huge U.S. market. The company has bounced back recently with cars such as the tiny 500 two-door hatchback, a hit remake of an earlier iconic Fiat model that competes with Daimler AG's Smart, BMW AG's Mini and other very small cars.

Excellent post. I think alot of us can relate to a loss in finances, be it a layoff of credit issues. Stress makes us all react in different ways. We all freak out sometimes man, thats normal. I do it all the time...lol.

Nico is a large family, I have more friends here then I made in my 13 years of military service. You don't have to change who you are, just remember that the internet doesn't show emotion real well. So people may often take your typed words ALL wrong. Happens to me quite often

Glad you are interested in helping out, the DIY guys can always use advice from people that have "been there, done that".

+1 to mightyversa for having some HUGE balls and walking back into a burning building.

If there's one thing you'll learn about this place, it's this:

We fight like brothers, but we also look out for each other like brothers.

Welcome back to the family.
