Oddly enough, I was just thinking that too, lol. I've only been here like six months (officially). Been lurking longer though. I can understand some of these threads popping up once in awhile, but for example, there are TWO "I'm looking at a 3G TL, what should I look for" threads IN A ROW right now.

This. 100% this. I couldn't believe what I was reading. "And there's water dripping from my exhaust. Is that normal?"
ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?! No, someone poured water into your gas tank and now your engine is magically combusting it. *facepalm*
I try to give posters the benefit of the doubt, but I'm finding it increasingly difficult to reply to those threads anymore.
People asking what to look for on a 3G TL when buying? Have you even spent 0.0001 seconds looking anywhere?! It probably took longer to create an account on AZ than to search on both AZ and google to find the answers.
Or people creating new threads to complain about their Bluetooth failing. There's already 56 other threads about it. It goes on, and on...

Possible new threads that will be created in the next days:
-I'm thinking of buying a 3G TL, how do I get my car license?
-I'm selling my 3G TL, how do I sell a car?
-My 3G TL power steering whines, I've dismissed every sticky thread, what is the problem?
-3G TL for sale on the internet, look at these links, it looks nice
-My 3G TL makes a clicking noise near the belt, I've made a YouTube video but I'm unwilling to try anything, what is it?
-My bumper is scratched and I want to replace it, how do I replace it without removing the bumper?

Don't start me. That shit is fucking retarded. I also try to give the benefit of the doubt and imagine a possible problem as in unusual amount of smoke or shit like that, but then you're just like... ugh *facepalm*

Other notable threads to be created this week:
- Is this $750 3G TL worth it?
- I've looked everywhere, who modifies headlights and tail lights?
- will these 4G TL headlights fit on my 3G TL?
- I keep putting gas into my tank every week and it disappears. Where's it going? Should I be concerned?
- what suspension should I get? My budget is $34.50
- my tires are bald, my brakes are shot and my windshield is cracked... But check out this sweet stereo I put in!

And believe me, I've seen my fair share of WTF-members.
And well, FWIW, while some may be considered stupid threads, the OP is generally asking for help...and everyone was a n00b at some point. I sure would take these guys over a blatant liar/braggart or troll.

Fair enough Yumcha, all I'm saying is try looking rather than looking to be spoon fed the answers. If your return is fruitless, then by all means ask away.
I've asked stupid questions too, with my latest asking people to post anthracite TLs with ASpec and Type S wheels. I KNOW I saw photos of them in the past, I searched and found a couple Type S wheel pics (admittedly not the greatest angles), but none of the Aspecs. But hey, at least I put a couple minutes in before asking.
Like Justin has said many many times in the past- there is over 10 years worth of knowledge and information for the 3G now. Do some reading!

Some of the questions pertain to doing the job yourself and next thing you know they brought their car to the dealership and spent a wad of cash.
I'll be the first to say I know hardly anything to rims and car audio, but my first thought would be to research the great internets for answers prior to asking "what size are the stock TL rims"
Either way, they make me facepalm a bit.

resin builds up with one joint!
another example is your bong.
dont clean it for a week and its pretty nasty.
also, Ive been smoking a turkey every weekend for about 2 months now.
there's a solid build up of what I assume is resin/tar from the smoke coating the BBQ pit.(the more you cook on it, the better the food taste!)
So, what Im trying to say is; it doesnt take long for it to build up on your teeth

No, I know about res build up, but on your teeth? This guy I used to hang out with would go through an ounce a week and his teef always looked fine. Plus it's not like you can't clean res off. Maybe where the flame directly touches it won't come off, but otherwise...
12-09-2014, 01:20 PM
on the back of the teeth. he used a mirror to show my brother where it was coating on my teeth

But, if I were to try and work in exercise in my evenings, I doubt I'd be able to stick to it consistently.
With family life and trying to maintain a home, I already am short on hours each evening as it is...so, for those who can fit in an intense workout and still be a parent, keep the house clean, cook, and etc...you have my admiration.

Yumcha. He said to guess which is true. I guessed that both are a lie and that he likes to play for the other team 
PS- I'm good at maff too. Used to suck bad at it in Jr. high. Mostly because I didn't do my homework or bother learning. Got my shit together in high school and loved it ever since. Me gud enjinear!

Well, I'm generally gay the happy way.
Definitely not gay the other way though.
