First of all i wanna say that i am not here to point fingers, only to set out a warning to somebody on this site. This all started just a couple weeks ago.
I started a thread about removing the air silencer. I was a little confused about a few thing, like how big of a sound difference did it make? How to do it etc. etc. Anyways, soon after posting this thread i got a reply from a member telling me that it was very simple to do and took him maybe 15 mins. He also left a link to a page w/ some instructions on it. The instructions appeared a little blurry on my computer and weren't as straigt-forward as i was hoping. Because that was the only reply i had recieved, i asked if a mechanic would do it for me. I guess that was a big mistake. Soon after i got a sarcastic reply from somebody including,"If you need a mechanic to remove your air silencer then you don't deserve to own an SC. Seriously, go buy a Honda."
Sure, at first it was pretty funny, i actually laughed at it and thought,"He's gotta good point" once somebody else posted some more clearer instructions. But a little while later i guess someone was reading my thread and saw that and was very offended. His statement was that he owned 3 SC's and had mechanics do even the simplest work on it because he had arthritis. He than said that is this "certain someone" (shall i say) has a problem w/ him owning them that he should tell him now. I was pretty happy, someone who stood up to a guy that made me look like a complete idiot. This "certain someone" responded with a apologie because he did not mean to offend anyone who is handicapped.
I am not handicapped, but am in a way, held back from doing work on my car. This is why, I am fifteen. Thats right, 1-5, 15. I do not own the car now but will in a matter of months when i buy it off my parents. Now, if u think about it, 1.) My step-father isn't gonna say, "here's all the tools you need, rip apart the car and remove the air silencer." As much as he trusts me, i wouldn't wanna be in the shoes of the guy who screws something up on our car. 2.) It is currently our family car, our only car right now. To top is off, my step-father was just laid off work, so i don't wanna screw something up that may cost us a small-fourtune to repair.

Once again, i do not want to point any fingers. If one of you guys read my thread on the air silencer i ask that they do not point out who it was, despite this letter i am still human. I ask that maybe you could reply with an,"I agree" or an," I dont agree" just to keep this thread at the top of the list so people may see this.
