That last bit would be fun to see haha. We should do that with one new person a week and make it a game to see who figures it out. Maybe ichi can give a sticker or something to the winner. Flanders behind bars or something

Keep in mind, I'm new and haven't modified a car. I have plenty of experience keeping cars/equipment running. We called it wrenching

The more specific the question the better. I hate the "what coilover/exhaust is best" but if you have a specific question you wiill tend to get better information from more knowledgeable people because they can see you did at least a little bit of work on your own.

Lately it hasn't been the people asking the questions, but some of the responses getting on my nerves. Things like "use the proper term for the bumper" or "those coils are shit and not worth rebuilding, here's another set of shitty coils to buy instead"

Yeah. The bumper one was my favorite cuz the dude was such an ass but didnt go back in the thread after multiple people showed him he was wrong. Smart ass responses are one thing but that is what turns people away from the forum and community

I have no issues answering even the most basic questions but like too at least attempt to get people to try to learn the basics. I do lose it (if nobody noticed) when people ask a question and then argue with every single response. Why the hell did you ask if you all of a sudden know it all?

I need to get more familiar with the faq. I refer people to specific faq threads usually or the correct forum but usong that would be helpful

I was more than happy to go and find those 5 or 6 websites and link them all in my response in the bumper thread. To be honest, I was a bit bummed when dude didn't come back with another condescending smart ass response after every parts site I provided said "front bumper cover"

You guys were speaking English or Japanese or both?

Sometimes when I read Japanese kanji in Chinese it's sounds hilarious (like "alright" in Japanese is actually "gentleman" in Chinese lol), but lately Chinese hypebeasts are starting to use Japanese kanji terms to describe the same thing as how you guys would use them which is super annoying.

English. She doesn't speak Japanese

Hey, ichi, if English spoken with a Japanese accent is called "Engrish," what's the Japanese pet way to describe Japanese spoken with an English accent?

That reminds me of phrases on rims such as:

"Full of sport mind and luxury feeling super potential in winter wheel iver"

or

"Just a roller skate grand touring. All over the physical ironic power."
