"This comment almost made me throw up in my mouth. Are you living under a rock?"
"This is the dumbest thing I've read on the internet this morning"
"You make no sense"

My goodness man. At what point in your emotional and cognitive development did you not acquire the skills to have reasonable discussions and constructive disagreement?

At what point you ask?
My discussions and disagreement are more than reasonable. but at the end of the day, lack of common sense and logic need to be called out.

Everyone of the 3 quotes from me are 100% reasonable because they are true in regards as to the comment they replied to.

For example:
Let's take this comment by salmonrook.

Carney has a proven track record as a business man and thats  why they voted for him after the mess that Trudeau left

I replied with "This comment almost made me throw up in my mouth. Are you living under a rock?"

A person has to be completly freaking delusional to say what salmonrook said in the quote I just shared.
This is not about opinion. This is common sense. This is common accountablity.
Mark Carney just tried to hide a 94 billion dollar deficit as an 'investment'. He got caught redhanded. NO ONE is even arguing what Carney attempted to do here.
And salmonrook goes and calls him a 'proven record as a business man'. Are you kidding me?

Again....yes...sometimes we can have our opinions and then there are times when people just post pure ignorance because they won't take their head out of the sand.
You have to understand that subtle rebuke doesn't work with guys like that. They need to hear the brutal truth until they wake up and understand how real life works.

It is not a very difficult job to do it yourself.  I find the biggest issue is the tiny amount of contact cement provided with replacements, barely enough for one boot.  I get a can of heavy duty contact cement and lay it on. Trimming the sole after gluing can be done with any decent box cutter.

Its expensive being poor.

I always think of a quote from the movie Whithnail and I: "Free to those that can afford it, and very expensive for those that cant."

I'd rather just have the car payment. I've done my time wrenching on garbage. At this point in my life my time is more important. I still enjoy wrenching on my sports cars though.

I let close buddies come and wrench at my place that live in place's that wont let them wrench. Feel sorry for them. Its expensive being poor. Can't even get free air for your tires anymore.

Ok, so you live in a condo/apt, where you going to fix your vehicle? Walmart parking lot

No the Canadian Tire lot is usually the one you see people swapping batteries,adding oil , air filters ,wiper blades.
Canadian Tire will take old oil and batteries
I know people who usually do in the parents driveway , my nephew changes the Oil at work .
It's a bummer that condo rules aren't more relaxed but I guess after 1 messy oil change that was the end of that.
Admittedly the bigger jobs like brakes \minor engine parts you need a driveway .
 When I am talking about car repairs my thoughts are mainly concerning guys, no offense to anyone.
 Always thinking of you can save yourself that shop rate X how many hours , the savings can be significant

What a dumb suggestion.

My goodness man. At what point in your emotional and cognitive development did you not acquire the skills to have reasonable discussions and constructive disagreement?

Ok, so you live in a condo/apt, where you going to fix your vehicle? Walmart parking lot, Can't do it in the condo parkade, where you going to keep the tools and pan for the old oil?  Most condos are not big enough to keep all your stuff in, and if you happen to be with a woman, there is no chance of having any spare space for tools.  Shoes and cloths will be jammed in every corner.

Buy a older used vehicle
I don't own a nice truck until I was over 40 ,even then it was a lease return
If it needs fixing , YouTube is always available and is a mountain of information .
Not everyone has 1000 dollars to fix there vehicle like you do .
Brakes , oil changes , simple things are always worth trying
The code scanner has a website that will tell you what's happening and what parts to buy , if you have the time and inclination you can figure it out .
Anyway the point being that we live in a instant gratification mindset now .
Our parents may have never owned a nice vehicle or lived in a brand new house .
They waited until they could afford it .
Having said that I see that the price of real estate has dropped down in the condo\apt space.
A good place to start for  1st time buyer .

    Missing the point again ,
Sure you can buy a new vehicle , along with the 600 dollar  payment and then complain that you have no money .
Lots of decent vehicles out there that can be fixed or driven on the cheap , its just the will to drive them .
 These also have a better insurance rate .
 As  for proprietary tools you can buy a code scanner that will tell you whats wrong with your vehicle .
Of the older vehicles , yes the lower mileage ones are the ones to buy .

You're not listening. Most of us don't have an issue with driving an older vehicle.
You must be a good mechanic. It's easy to sit back and talk about fixing your own vehicle if you are able to. The majority of people today have no means or idea of how to work and maintain vehicles that are new than 2000 or so.

As  for proprietary tools you can buy a code scanner that will tell you whats wrong with your vehicle .

A scanner doesn't fix your vehicle for you and many of the scanner codes are vague. You can punch a scanner code into google and 10 different 'maybes' come up. An average Joe isn't going to touch that. What a dumb suggestion.
