just wondering how many on message board are experienced/ certified techs/mechs and how many are just knowledgeable car enthusiasts?

experienced/ certified tech/shop owner for 45 yrs. would have to be to do this for 45 yrs.

reason I asked I been visiting this site for about 2months and always same 4 to 5 people responding to mechanical problems and rest are tossing ideas making simple problems major. I agree that I dont know it all and we all have to learn sometime just kinda wondering where the advice is coming from sometimes

Not being a smart ass, graduated with a bud that worked in his dad's shop from about the time he was a freshman. Wished I'd had that opportunity.

ahhhhhh complications!!!!!!!!!!!!! gotta love em

23 years actual on the job experience.

Shop owner, Master A.S.E. Certified 19 years, GM Master Certified 14 years. 43 years old now, wife, son, daughter, cat, dog, couple pistols, rifles and shotguns.......did my resume wander?

Been racing since I was 11 so a lot of my advice comes from a different perspective, i.e. lots of experience breaking stuff .

I was certified when I got out of Motech in '83, but since I've been in the insurance claims biz since '85, I've added the two body certs I needed to satisfy the state.

But I've been an insurance appraiser 20 years, I've run my own race car for the last 10 years, have had two years of body shop experience, 2 years of dealership service department experience, and 25 years of general experience screwing with my cars.

I was a lot faster before working on electronic cars. I can do what I need to do, but I'm not fast at it. I only try to make recommendations on things I know. Have service manual will travel.

Gee, NFTDAY, I've never seen you get Smardarse before but maybe you should check out Mike's (lt1) age one more time. Born in 43, that would make him 17 45 years ago. (if your 17 and still in Junior High, you must be a redneck.) So......... Mike: I hear you bud. And NFTDAY, I am sorry if you think I'm picking on you cause I am not.
P.S. You might want to know why I realize this.....Well, I'm only three years younger. Hehehehehe

Haha, man you had me busting up with the red neck thing, that was funny as hell!!! Hahahahaha
I was going to post something like this the other night and then forgot about it because my computer froze so I turned it off and went to bed. I wanted to see everyones past history dealing with cars. When I first came here I would look around and see who knew their stuff and who was just following along and didn't know what they were talking about. I got a lot of the smart guys picked out and the others to the side so everything if sorted for me. But even if all the guys here aren't smart a ton in hot rodding then it's cool with me. I still like to chat with most of you guys here anyways. Plus... who doesn't NOT know as much as me? Can't get any more dumb than... ME?

I believe I said a JUNIOR in high school because that's what I was in the fisrt part of '60 and I'm 4 months older,8/14/43. and I don't think ducks, pegs, and points qualify as a redneck even if I'm from Ohio. I now see what Tech was refering to.
