when i said bishes i meant nothing derogatory by it was a general saying not meant to you specifically, and you know nothing about my financial situation/unemployment at the time this occured so as far as CANT fix it, right now its a matter of when as i'm now thinking if i should (while i gather other parts to get painted) or shouldnt, as this has become MY staple locally and on this forum as what people know me by.

re-read what you wrote. When you refer to any post starting with " Bishes are gonna hate on muh band - aids"
I was the only one that brought up the band-aid thing. I didn't not mention anything about anyone's financial situations. You brought that upon yourself. Band Aid is a fad. You took it upon yourself to get offended. Since I was the ONLY person that mentioned the band aid fad.. I took it that you are calling me a B!TCH! enough said. A band aid is a band aid. It says nothing about a person not being able to fix their car. It's a fad! this is what the forum is about. What FAD have we been seeing . good or bad.. it doesn't matter. thanks. the end.
thanks.

THANK YOU!! as was the whole band-aid thing, humor. i never seen the band-aid thing/fad until i put it on my car, then i realized people, more or less drifters, put it on their cars. everytime someone sees it on my car, its a conversation starter and an LOL moment.

A fad (option) that got started, then was discontinued due to cost reasons, then returned to improve fuel economy was the 4-speed automatic with a lock-up in 4th gear.
In 1956 GM introduced an improved version of the Hydramatic named the Jet-A-Way Hydramatic that allowed the driver to hold the transmission in second or third gear until the maximum allowable upshift points, for improved performance in traffic or in mountain driving. The 4-speed (4th 98% lock up) transmission was eventually discontinued for cost containment reasons and eventually replaced with a 3-speed named the Turbo Hydramatic.. Rolls Royce licensed the 4-speed (Jet-A-Way) and continued to produce it for decades..
Anyways, there ain't nothing better than "throwing out the baby with the bath water" .. LOL
