How did you expect us to respond? I think calling Gary a "serious azzhole" was a little harsh. Sometimes it gets a little much for those of us who are very active on this board to politely respond to some of the garbage that seems to get posted up more and more frequently here. I'm sure you understand that.
Then ask the person for more information. If you don't have the patience to those who post like the OP did, then you probably shouldn't be on a forum in the first place. Yes, it's frustrating, but that's not the point, and it doesn't help to be an as*. Uninformative posts are going to happen. Some people don't know how to articulate well, type well, perhaps English is not their first language, knowledge level. There are a whole slew of reasons why someone would not, or could not, give all the information they might need. This forum is by far one of the harshest and rude-filled members I have ever been on, and I've been on a lot. All I'm saying is, either be patient with people (especially new members who perhaps don't know all the rules) a little more, or just skip the post and don't respond or help. Some people don't have all day to troll the forum, they come here because of a search engine or other link and are hoping to get a question answered because they don't know where else to turn. Yet 99% of the time we shut the post down (not literally, admins) because they failed to try and do some obscure search to find the info, then look through hundreds of posts for a simple yes/no answer. I don't blame them for doing it. Forums are suppose to be a community based on common interests. I can't help but imagine how many people have come here and left, never to come again because another member was a sarcastic jerkoff to them, when all they wanted was help from someone more knowledgeable than them.

Here's the reason for my response to this thread. He was in an accident, without a Crystal ball how are we supposed to know what might have caused his issues. The only way he can resolve what's wrong with his G is to take it back, just like I originally posted. How does this make me an azz when what I posted is the correct answer? I wasn't the only one who came up this answer, just the first. Are we blaming me for being right....again? How's the rain in Beaverton....did you ever get a beer/hamburger and play pool in the little restaurant just north of Beaverton?

Gary,

I understand your frustration with the OP, and how his unclear post could aggravate both you and others here. I also understand that you were not the only one who posted, and my response was to everyone in general. I apologize if you felt I was attacking you. Perhaps I see your name come up more often than others and see a lot of negativity. I'm not blaming you for being right, and I know first hand that you know quite a bit about our cars, which simply is even more of a reason to be patient, because people know when you write something, it's usually correct.

The rain here sucks, quite honestly. It's been raining for weeks on end, and I'm quite ready for some sun, which today we have a bit of. Granted, I'll take cold and rainy over hot and muggy any day. You can always put on a hoodie when it's cold out, but you can only go so far when it's hot besides getting down to shorts before people start calling the cops for indecent exposure. :P Which restaurant are you talking about? Did we have a conversation about this? Forgive me, horrible memory in my "old" age of 28.

There's no possible way anyone could give Tiger an answer since he just picked up his G from the body shop after a front end collision. Only the shop will know what was disconnected/damaged during the repair. My little sister lived in Beaverton, when you head south your headed to Portland but if you headed north there was rolling county/cattle. We used to drive about 2/3 miles and there was a small restaurant that served great hamburgers/very cold beer and we'd spend hours playing pool. They only had 3 tables but the waitress was blonde and had very nice GOOD TIMES!

At least you two are arguing maturely.

OP, you still haven't answered my question. If the shop you went to did a terrible job, it would be beneficial for us who live in the same area to know which shop it was to avoid problems in the future.
