Wow.
Why do you feel any of my comments were directed at you guys?
Unless you fall into the category I describe, you shouldn't be offended at all

The one thing you both don't have that other more seasoned humans do is the observation of how thing have changed over the years. You can look at the world through your 15-16 year old eyes and think you know everything, (believe me I know, my 11 year old thinks he knows more than me too) but I'm here to tell ya kids,, you don't. You may know enough to work on toy cars, and that's all good, but you don't know how things used to be. You haven't watched the world change like us old folks have. The same way I don't have the wisdom of someone of previous generations

It used to be you could walk into a store and be sure you're going to get good service,, that's just not the case always nowadays

And BTW
In the incident where the guy didn't want to sell me the glow plug. The guy was over 60 years old. And I wasn’t asking for help, the guy was trying to show off that he knew more than me and the other guys working in the shop. I didn’t ask for or want any advice from him. I ask for the plug and his response was “what type of engine are you using it in”. I made the mistake of being polite and telling him, that’s where I got into trouble. Sad, but I would have been better off being rude and saying “none of your business”

True, Age really has little to do with it.
It's the inexperienced people (of any age) handing out bad advice is what I have a problem with

p.s.
ACE007,
I’ve been on this board for over 4 years, (back when it was RCO)
I think I’ve been handing out helpful advice as well
You’ve been here for about 3 weeks?
I’ll get out when I like
