04 stang dual exh

In a perfect world yeah that would work.. mebbe...
But that assumes that some dickwad entered the correct data. GIGO is
rampant.

FWIW a warantee / guarantee card should have the receipt stapled to it when
the paperwork is passed to the customer. Customer.. taking the unheard of
action of accepting some responsibility for themself puts the paperwork in
the glovebox...

Everybody these days expects things to be "as easy and convenient as
possible". Noticed how noob-ish the web is becoming? I'm a professional
web-developer & all of my work that visitors see absolutely has to be
ungodly easy to use.... and for a reason, if it isn't so easy that a newborn
monkey could use it .......then it won't be used as often!

People take responsibility for themselves? Shyeah right =).

Had a similar thing happen on an exhaust system on a truck of mine.

I replaced the entire carbureted engine with a complete fuel injected
engine and fuel system etcetera. I drove the truck With just the new Y
pipe on it back to the muffler chain that had originally installed the
complete exhaust system with LIFE TIME muffler. I asked them to
"rehang" the exhaust system and attach it to the Y pipe from the new EFI
system. They agreed to do it for $40. I said OK do it.

The Monkey who was doing the work started his hard sell for replacing
the muffler, because it was bad. I said it was fine just put it back
on. He insisted, I relented and said fine put a new one on, it has your
life time warranty anyway! He was so ****ed he threw the old one (LARGE
TRUCK muffler) across the shop three bays away... He ended up replacing
all the "3 inch pipe, rather then cutting and pasting the thing back
together.

I removed the original life time warranty exhaust system, and thanks to
this Monkey's greed, got a whole new life time warranty exhaust system
for $40. :-)

Oh yeah! The point & click generation.
I can't get over (well I can cuz I'm not affected) how they sell computers
the same way they sell toasters.. take it home and plug it in is all you
have to do. Then the users wail and moan when the puter won't work because
they did something they shouldn't have done.. because they didn't know any
better....

It all started with paper I think.
