No Whitey, you ain't blind. The Mod had enough of the smart mouthing, and shut him and the thread down. I don't know if he can still post, but all the information on him is gone too.

I don't know, honestly part of me hopes he learned something and also that what I suggested helps him.

But then I'm often accused of being too nice to people.

I also tried to help. I pointed out the reference on the cylinders and something else, and he went ballistic. I'm beginning to think the Millennials are feeling like they are entitled to everything and have no blame to place on their own mis-steps. Oh well, maybe Aragon is right and he will take this criticism to heart and maybe comeback a better explainer. I had a hell of a time following on my iPhone 6P. If I couldn't read it on a big screen, I can only image trying to read on a 5 or 6S. lol

Note: Jacob Cragen was the OP's name.

I will just say I've always appreciated your all's help. I understand the physics behind the engine but not always all of the optional toys (don't ask me to do the math, I intentionally forgot :P ) Still feel like I don't know anything but still.

Edit: Not all millennials are that way, just as not all children of the 60's smoked weed daily. It's just the more obnoxious ones get noticed because they tend to be pretty brash.........

I mean hell, Gen Xer's were horrible up till the Millennials came around.

That got a laugh out of me Aragon. I shouldn't of lumped it so much, but each generation since the BB'ers to now have all deteriorated more and more over the prior group.

Just about everything now is different than the prior generation, from electronics to personal hygiene. It's the world as we know it today. The real problem isn't the kids, I'm putting it more on social media than anything else. We've got free run to do and say anything, and it seems to go into the way they portray themselves in public and on SM. I'm not saying its a bad thing, it's just the way it is today.

Common courtesy isn't around much anymore. It's all me me me now, and a lot don't take responsibility for their actions. We see it in the total blow up of crime the past 3 years here in Anchorage. So far this year, over 2000 vehicles have been stolen in town. The biggest year was last year with 1400, and now it's exploded. There is a chart on the vehicles stolen and 45% of them are 99-07 GM's. It takes less than 10 seconds to have one of those stolen. It's unbelievable how quick they start them.

What we've seen is the "CLUB" make a big return in the past 6 months. Costco and Sam's are selling them again. What once was, is back. LOL

Aragon: We kids of the 60's didn't smoke weed everyday. We didn't start until the 70's. Get it right. ROFL

I was born in 77 so I missed the whole weed thing, :P

Well, I mean being original has gotten pretty unpopular, look at all the movie and tv show remakes they are doing.

Right, I couldn't smoke that stuff without getting real quiet and paranoid.

But when it filled the room one fine day and we were watching "The Three Amigos" holey hell I couldn't keep a straight face...totally ripped my stomach muscles that day.
