Just because you used "Like" at the beginning of each sentence and because you are 17, I would recommend that you take a bus to school and focus on your studies. Don't learn to fix cars. It is a waste of time, unless you want to fail your classes and become a grease monkey. When you get to 40 with nothing else to do, buy an old car and fix it as a hobby just for a challenge. Even that isn't the best use of time.

Have your dad fix it for you:). Tell him he needs a new hobby:) and that you will help.

Wait... Your other posts state that you have two other cars: 97 volvo 850 R and Volvo c70. Are you really 17? Something is off here.

He is pulling our chain Redneck.

I can usually see the sockpuppet posts.
I wasn't sure about you at first, Please laugh.

There is also another term which I will not use.

The cool thing about this website, is the moderators clean up the crap. They notice and delete.

So, like
I think I know who it is playing games as they do on other sites.

I must also add the fact that I claim knowledge which is sometime not clearly thought through without definitives and actual documented facts. (I might have been wrrrr misspoken. -The Fonz.)" I am not a Doctor, I only play one on TV."- Chad Everett.
I bring levity to the plate, as I fully expect this conversation and inquiry thread to go to the Search department.
I'll PM you Redneck if you don't mind.

Thats true:) English as a second language speakers never use "Like".

I'm just looking around to see what else is good to replace in my Volvo before it fails:)

Troll, or spammer. You're dead-on. His email address came up in a Google search.

I've banned him but left his posts up.
