Q: does the lemon law not apply to the drive train warranty as well -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving why dont you just go after them under the lemon law and get your money back -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving maybe cause its a 2000 model year and out of basic warranty so what the powertrain has 10 years or100000 miles .

t-bone i understand you love these endless pissing matches and thats why i dont usually reply to your posts in all honesty i dont like them as much as i used to but old habits die hard. but youre heading down a really dark path if you try to compare your credibility in this group to mikes. dont go there.. it really has nothing to do comparing my credibility to mikes or anyone elses. i have a lot of respect for mike and he does have one of the lowest noise levels in the group but if he comes after me with a silly semantics attack about the definition of rpms then i will respond. respect or not he is not god and i have enough to deal with the two real crybabies. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

no shit tom like i said a million times its 1.5. yup expressed as a percentage thats 150% soooooo 3% / 2% = 150% or 50% more than the original amount. sooooo if the original amount was 2% of the whole and we now let 3% of the whole its 50% more. the only thing fuzzy here is t-bones ability to look at whats being measured. we arent measuring the amount of dirt that did not get through we are measuring what did get through. but he still wont get it because hes busy looking at the surface of the filter not the crap inside the throttle body. -- max give a man a match and he is warm for a short while. light him on fire and he is warm for the rest of his life. how about 3% / 2% = 1.5% yep 100% correct. - okay... i think this hole is deep enough.... tom - whats .03 divided by .02 hint it aint .015. no shit tom like i said a million times its 1.5. i understand what he is saying and was trying to prove a point one that i believe i clearly did. when he thinks he is right regardless of what i say he fights on and here he is doing exactly that. as harry potter would say mischief managed. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

on wed 22 jun 2005 182258 gmt tbone t-bonenospam@nc.rr.com wrote yes but now you are doing conversions. you are converting from a percent to a whole number and that in itself makes it fuzzy. thats not so. percentages are not fuzzy. 1 definition a percent is 1/100. 2 definition one percent of something is that something multiplied by 1/100. therefore a percent of a percent is 1/100 multiplied by 1/100 or 1/10000 or 0.01%. for example 20% of 20% is 20/100 multiplied by 20/100 or 400/10000 or 4/100 or 4%. all of the above is defined quite precisely and there is no degree of fuzziness. i hope that you realize that all percentages are fuzzy by nature because they dont truly represent anything other than a ratio and when you divide multiple percentages you even further distort the truth. percentages are a simple pre-algebra notion and are quite simply and precisely defined. i can say a 150% increase which sounds huge but in reality could be very small. its the words such as huge and small that are fuzzy not the idea of a percent or a percentage change. i could get a 150% pay increase and if i were a corporate exec stealing $10000000 a year it in fact would be huge but if i was only making minimum wage i would still barely be making enough to put food on the table. that is interesting but has little to do with the precise definition of a percent. -- .
