okay speaking of back up the train. Don, I think you need to re-read your initial post above. It was very condescending. You say because Roxy didn't like the responses she got, she played you all for fools. That is NOT true. I didn't like your answer either. It was rude and unnecessary and basically you insinuated that SHE was the fool. I mean really -- running the original cap rotor and wires on a 97?? come on, you know that's highly unlikely. So in making that statement you accused her of not properly maintaining her vehicle and if she did replace those things she was just too cheap to buy good stuff to do a tune up so that just HAS to be her problem. That was NOT necessary at all. I know that a lot of times when we write things in a post its hard to detect emotion and sometimes people can misunderstand. However there is no misunderstanding from the later part of your statement. You made a very blatent assumption of Roxy's ability to maintain her Jeep without any facts to support it.

Sometimes it pays to take a little time to read and re-read a post before pushing the "submit" button. Think about how it might make someone feel.

I just wanted to make you aware that Roxy wasn't the ONLY one who felt this way about your post.

Let's continue to help each other and be kind. That is why we are all a part of this really cool forum. Each one of us has something unique to contribute.
