Or huge *ss pictures in someones signature.

How big is "huge *ss?" I was wondering that when I made mine; You can be honest.

Yours is fine man im talking about the ones that are the size of a normal photo from photobucket.

@joesregalproject, yours never loads on my computer so I cant tell how big it is all I see is a small red X :lol:

it does that for me sometimes, but most of the time its alright. i'll mess with it and see if i can fix it.

Eight 6 X 9 photobucket photos of a pulley or a any part in one post, Is getting really tedious. especially when somebody quotes it and it take up a whole another page with the same pics....

I'll add to that, quoting a whole group of pictures, just to complement or comment on one. Edit the others out! I see that a lot in build threads.

It's not just you. It's been brought up here too: viewtopic.php?f=24&t=13207#.UPGpK3nhdYo

LOL thats digging one out of the past,
I still dislike huge sig pics. It takes too long to load all those on my crappy wireless connection at work. I dont need to see a bunch of pics of your car in your sig, the avatar is enough or click on a link to your garage/ myspace/ facebook whatever

Please help me tune my carb over the internet.

Details on car;
Blue malibu.


P.S.
I had my uncles mechanic freind look at it, and he adjusted the jets on the choke, but now he thinks the floats are binding with the secondaries.

P.P.S
I really feel the need to make this all encompassing statement which i have no way to quantify or verify.
Ive tried EVERYTHING and NOTHING works!

You sir, have just summed up the internet.

Or a consumer at advance auto.. No joke.

Maybe it has already been said, or maybe not, "how much hp will my engine make?" You want a real figure, pull the wallet out and have it dyno tuned, no speculation, no guess work, proven in black and white. Otherwise it's like pissing in the wind, great theory when the wind is to your backside. :lol:

This one not internet related, but oh well. When someone calls me up and says, hey I have a 2000 chevy and I need the part to fix my P0xxx code. Life of a parts guy, I'm supposed to read your mind to determine what type of chevrolet (car/truck), what model, what engine, and diagnose what part went bad in the system. My old boss put it best, take SWAG at it, it's not your money and there's no return on electrical parts, lol (Scientific Wild *ss Guess) .

I get tired of parts people that have to know what make, Model and year a car is before they can get you a chunk of 3/8 fuel line, Or two feet of 5/8 or 3/4 heater or 3/8 - 5/16 Power steering return hose. If they can't find it on the computer then they just say we don't have it....

 

[Oldsmoletick]

hahaha yes!!! Or that's a '"dealer only part" (heard that while trying to buy a U joint for the AMC a couple years ago :lol: )

When people expected a part time student worker at the local tool store to know every single tool and how they work when the student has never used any tools a day in his life and his real job is to stock shelfs. My old saying was Sir would you ask your teenaged son this qeustion.... I use to get a smug smile and the man would say good point son

My advice....find the parts person with an ASE badge and if they dont have one, go somewhere else!....otherwise, your just wasting your time.....

I love the old farts that have their wives/daughters, or the least auto knowledgable person in the room to call me and ask for a price on a part...and then they repeat every question I ask them to the old fart and he starts yelling at them and they start yelling at me.....
