I hope you realize that people learn from others mistakes. It's not embarrasing or shameful to admit those events to others. All of that said, I talked with Chris at Richey yesterday and they are addressing my concerns and instead of Monday a.m., I'm picking the car up on Tuesday at 9. I will get it home and take some pics and post them up in a seperate thread. Till, then, again, you guys are the best. I so wish I could meet each of you in person. I'd give you all a huge hug for the well wishes and just basic info you always provide. |
crap and quoted crap along with personal attacks..:seeya... who wants to join 'em?

Glad to hear that you are ok, the car can be repaired. I actually always just leave the car in gear, but then again I am in Miami and the highest point of elevation down here is mt. trashmore (the local dump) lol

When I read this the first time my impression was that you are making progress. But now you are bashing the "whiners" who are taking a stand to defend a friend of ours. Frankly, I don't think there is anything more honorable than standing up for friends. I suspect you are not the asshat that you are coming across as, but just to be clear, you ARE coming across as one.

I know it's gotten a bit ugly, and I appreciate that you are letting it go with just a warning because this thread serves a purpose. Thanks Grumpy - and I promise I'll back off now myself.

My z actually started to roll away on me once. Pretty scary but I got lucky it wasnt on a huge incline.

I wish the OP a fast recovery!
Not trying to thread-jack but I think a little more on this topic could save someone else! I am pretty sure I personally don't FULLY engage the Parking Brake when on hills etc. Is the above a true, proven statement? To make matters worse, these cars are built to very exacting standards. It only takes a slight touch to start them rolling, even on level ground. I can push mine back and forth in my garage (which is dead flat) with one hand. |

It took balls (well, you know :D) and A HUGE AMOUNT OF humility for her to share her mistake with us. She could have just kept quiet and laid low until her car (and leg) were fixed but she did not. By doing so, she has reminded us to take the proper steps when parking on a sloped surface. |

WOW! You guys truly warm my heart. Thanks for all the kind words and watching out for me. :yesnod:
Don't worry though, I'm thick skinned. Someone like this individual doesn't hurt my feelings. The best thing to do is ignore the comments. He'll be hard pressed to have other members help him down the road when he needs it (and he will). What goes around, comes around. This is the 2nd time in about a week that I've been exposed to a truly brusque person. :toetap: |
