Re: [Chrysler300] Stuff NAPA had then that they don't have now

[Ray Jones <hurst300@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You and me and all the other "Grouchy Old Men" on this list grew up  
watching Daddy drive and some watched him work on cars.We get it. We  
knew a lot of this stuff at 12.
Now, what we need is a Video game which requires the player to work  
their way thru Points, Condensers, Plugs, Ball Joints and suchlike t  
get the points and rewards. I bet if  the game is done well, it'll  
teach them all this and they won't know their being taught
Like you say:  "they are a product of the times we live in". and that's  
now our problem, I'm fed up with someone who can't speak English  
correctly trying to take my order, someone in India trying to work  
around my description of my problem with their scripted answers,  
someone who can't remember what I asked about in the first place and  
dropped out of school, but knows the words (and Screams) to 8,765   
songs.

"Let No Child be Left Behind" didn't work in Texas and isn't working  
most places I need service.

I feel better now,
Ray
All right folks, time's awasting! This'll be a good'un, don't miss it!
Lets get those Meet Registrations in soon, give poor Eleanor a break  
and don't wait 'til the last few days.
