Straight out of the rules page:

"Please, let's not talk about Politics & Religion. Wars have been fought for years and years because of Politics and Religion, so let's keep 'em out of 914World."

So Joe has the right and the rest of us don't?

It doesn't say let's not talk about Politics & Religion unless your Joe.

So I think your the one that doesn't understand .

It was an allusion to make a point. [go look up "allusion"] Mentioning a name isn't "politics." And likening someone to Atilla the Hun or Scrooge McDuck isn't being "political," it just illuminates something being said, maybe good for a chuckle. So dude, if your skin is THAT thin maybe you need to give up rusty cars and go practice yoga or something.

"It's a little like Donald Trump. Apparently, there is no amount of stupidity that will turn people away."

To me that paragraph is political and inflammatory.

As long as I can make a statement like ;

It's a little like Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton. Apparently, there is no amount of stupidity that will turn people away.

I'm good.

OU812,

You are right. I apologize.

Let's leave both presidential-candidate idiots out of it.

But, in accordance with your signature:

"There is only one way to avoid criticism:
Do Nothing,
Say Nothing,
and be Nothing."

I'm willing to speak my mind, just ask anybody.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

You should be aware that you use "your" incorrectly, when you should say "you're".

Example: "...... unless your Joe."

Your arguments generally look more convincing when you use the language correctly.

Beer on me!

[Gunn1]

Your brilliance and knowledge of the English language and its usage are apparent.

You said you were sorry, and I agreed.

I prefer a Whisky Coke.

Wow Joe ... you have mellowed in your old age. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

I hate this sh-t. All this over a supplier who was in the 914 parts game long before anyone else. Should not be a issue or a topic now with all the new parts suppliers. If you were restoring or repairing a 914's years ago they were the place to go and I did. and still do.
For those new into the 914, It was not always this easy to keep our glorified volkswagens on the road. There, I said it.

[JOEPROPER]

So, I just received the corrected order from Auto Atlanta along with return box and slip for shipping. I'm not sure if 914world had any influence over this or they just decided to do the right thing. Either way, I'm happy enough to see that they came up with the right decision.
I hope this is the end of this thread... seems like it has gone in a different direction than intended. AA is back on my list of suppliers, but still with a little hesitation...

Joe

[rhodyguy]

good luck with that mind set.

Joe, let me know where you find Whisky, I'd love to try it. Never heard of it. Out west we only have Whiskey.

I've placed several orders in the past with AA and always received what I ordered.

Maybe I should go buy a lottery ticket? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

Very good to hear AA made it right by their customer.

And You must mean, Out in the "Southwest" you only have whiskey...

Funny how being literal works both ways.

Yes, it does work both ways but not very effectively in your example. You need to check your geography. I'm fairly certain Arizona is considered part of the west....and yes, the southwest as well. Heck, my little hometown of Scottsdale has "The West's most western town" as its slogan. :-) It might be a little difficult to grasp but I assure you it is true.

Cape Flattery in Washington State Is the most western...old buddy !

Most western is a slogan as you said, but not geographical fact. Especially for someone so literal .

[rhodyguy]

Cape Alava. To be exact.

[Rand]

Cape Blanco is the westernmost point of the continental US. Funny thing, I was there at the lowest tide of the decade back in the 90s and waded my way into the water. I could claim to step foot farther west than anyone.

But what I got out of that day was a great experience with the people who were there. As awesome as that was, it took me more than a decade to get it: People matter more than experiences.
