Advice for all you car people!

First, as responders, we should answer the questions regarding what they were asked about. In other words, someone asking about a slant six shouldn't get "A 318 will make more power....". I think they already know that.

Likewise, every bit of information should be provided by the person asking. Not just "my car is running bad, what can I do?" Believe it or not, we've had some that bad. Then when someone spouts off "we don't have a crystal ball" the OP gets all butthurt and it goes downhill. But it's true. Nobody here has a crystal ball. It's up to YOU to provide all information up front.

Now, sometimes the OP doesn't know all the answers. In that case "hey guys, I have an *** kinda of car and I don't know what engine it has. Can yall tell me how to tell? It's running bad and I need some help.

The bottom line is, the more information YOU give US up front, the better your answers will be.

One last thing. Don't bring your dumb butt in here and then keep asking the same question over and over looking for the answer you want to hear. Just because you don't like an answer, doesn't mean it's wrong. If the answer to a question has the majority of active members in agreement, LISTEN TO THEM.
