Every single one of them has been great and I have formed friendships that will last a lifetime even if the cars change. This is not surprising since the sociopaths don't tend to want to meet other people or hide away in large groups so you don't notice them. In this particular case I have little doubt that even a large group would ignore the wingnut by now.
Meet as many as you can since it is rewarding and the likelihood of running into a keyboard warrior in person is remote.

Guys, you are entertaining the OP. You know that he will create another thread again if you keep flooding his threads, right? There is an off-topic lounge

I hate seeing people getting insulted even if they call for it. Just ignore please.

Tell me about it.

Yes, that's an Allen wrench set in her hand and she was working on her sisters bike, when she ask me a question about adjusting the brakes. She said that it was the worst design ever -

to be fair, rim brakes are a pain to adjust, as the arm spring tension is never equal, and they rarely apply straight.

Good point.

Although she thought the design was worst ever, she did appreciate that she could easily see if the pads were worn - even while riding it -

I'll bite.

1) how did you determine it does not dim?
2) do you know how the mirror works to be auto-dimming?
3) why does a solution involve a ricer mod? is swapping to another factory auto-dimming rear mirror not a solution, since you prefer to keep the car stock?
4) do you have tint on your rear windshield?

Seriously, why did you start another thread for this? are you new to the internet or something?

Whaaaat, no helmet, gloves boots or safety glasses.

Next time please wrap in the attached for safety sake, because everyone knows, plastic bags and kids is good safety advice.
