You're worried about oil on your driveway, and you're calling us immature?

I could understand if the truck left an Exxon Valdez-like environmental catastrophe, but seriously? How big is it? If it's not bigger than a 50 cent piece, you're out of your mind.

nice, I think you are going to fit in well around here.

there are some things worth fighting for. personally, I would just clean the stain up myself. I know that's not what you wanted to hear, but that is what I would do. *shrug*

Pickle juice just might remove oil stains.

OP needed to make a thread to brag about his expensive house?

methinks it's a dummy thread; a weak attempt to justify an account created for spam purposes.

hell, just look at the user name. Might as well be a forum bot.

:hmm: maybe not. He's only posted about GFX card problems.

Taking care of it myself would be more Un-American, you're confused. I pay $130 a year for 2 premium tripleA cards. And LOL, I'm not sueing. But I will stand up for myself and have them come back and wash up the white mess from the kitty litter and maybe kitter litter it one more time. Sometimes you gotta have a backbone.

To do nothing is weak. Very Weak.
To do something maybe will result in that dumbass AAA guy tightening the caps on his fluids and/or store them properly in the back of his truck.

Maybe they will laugh. Then I will hang up and physically visit the dealership or closest tripleA location on my day off.

Not a Lambo, but it cost me more than my last apartment (in new england) did. Chew on that! moron.

Seriously. LMAO.
AAA will visit you when your car won't start and change your battery if needed. And if you have an existing AAA battery, it's free replacement for under 3 years. Mine was 3 1/2 years old so i got it pro-rated (i paid $85 instead of $115). And best of all, the new battery's 3 year free replacement warranty starts again. Not bad eh?

Why get my hands greasy and waste my time when I don't have to?


Seriously, half the responses are dumb-assed/immature responses.
So, let's see. You've paid $390 over 3 years to save $30 on a battery. Brilliant move #1.

What else? Oh, you're going to drive down there and demand satisfaction, but you don't want to waste your time. So, instead of the 5 minutes it would take to wash that part of the driveway, you're going to waste an hour, plus the time you've put into this thread. WTG!

Ruffled the entitlement feathers I see.

Pretty much. Entitlement + brag thread.

HOW OLD ARE YOU? In which world does a battery cost nearly $400 ?

READ SLOWER THIS TIME: A new battery is $115, but I only paid $85 because of the pro-rating. Where did you get $400 from.

Let me explain. 3 1/2 years ago, I bought a battery for about a hundred bucks from triple AAA. Last week, I called the guy and he replaced my battery, but because it was over 3 years, they had to prorate it. So i only paid $85 instead of the new price (due to inflation, etc ... $115.)

I have no clue where the $390 came from. Put the beer down.. LMAO.

Since your parents bought you the house, ask them how to clean it.

You're truly stupid.. lol
What even thinks my parents bought me the house ?
I wish they did!

Ruffled the entitlement feathers I see.

Entitlement.. LMAO, I have worked hard for what i have and expect others to do the same. It's not a sense of entitlement.

Entitlement is american teenagers expecting a mustang at the age of 16 just because their freinds have one. Trust me, I am fiscally sound. I expect what i pay for.

About half a gallon of some hydraulic oil about 12 inches diameter ! it's HUGE.. LOL

Did he rape your daughter afterwards too?

Of my decade on the internet, this is the most tasteless post on a forum i have read. I was tempted to say 'hope he rapes yours one day', but then I would be stooping to your level. I'm even ashamed that i thought of saying it. Kind of sums up what kind of person you are to even say that.

Hope you're not married.. And really hope you don't have kids. Disgusting thing to say bro.!

I'm willing to take this on. Pizza's the math guy, but I think I can handle it. 130*3=390 Ya with me? Ok... A new battery is $115, but you got $30 off due to your membership. Here comes the big math, you got your calc out? I'll wait a minute...



390-30=360 360+85=445 So you payed $445 to get a $115 battery Simple, no?

If you were smart enough to afford a nice home, I hoped you would have had the common sense to figure out who to call. Call the tow truck company, they caused the mess.

I think it's funny that he keep mentioning the AAA gold cards like that means something.

OMG.. WTF

OK.. the AAA guy came and a new battery is $115...

If the battery would have died in under 3 years It's a free replacement, but mine died in 3 1/2 years, so they prorated it and gave me $30 off a new one

So, I only ended up paying $85 ($115 - $30)

How do you get over 400 dollars?
I'm not a math whiz, but are you all doing Enron style math ?

SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN what DrPizza and lxskllr are talking about !

You paid almost $400 over three years so you wouldn't have to get your hands dirty changing a battery. I bet they're all soft and purdy.

I'm not claiming to be smart, that's why I'm asking for opinions.
Thanks for your opinion.

...
I based this on the clues you have given us.
1. You're not very bright. Leaving your Fleshlight plugged into the 12v port on you car and killing the battery isn't too bright.

2. Needing to ask for help on an internet forum on how to act in an innocuous situation is weak and a bright person wouldn't do it.

Since you aren't bright, it's unlikely that you'd be able to secure employment at a level that would allow you to buy a house for 500k. So it must have been handed to you. You self-entitlement attitude would seem to bear this out too.

I could go on with more examples but in reality, you bore me. Your rant is weak and you don't have the fortitude to last long here.
