Perhaps you missed the picture of him looking so forlorn in the water...he claims he has permission but for some reason can't get the NE4ROC waiver signed by his parents...hmm...
I already told you hte reason I cant get that waiver signed yet. But you know what, have Lee deletemy account over there. Id rather NOT be associated with people such as you or Brian, who ask a question, get the explanation, and continue on acting like you dont know the explanation.
Now, NO MORE OFF TOPIC CRAP. If it has nothing to do with a squeeky grille guard, dont post it.

Gangus, although I agree muchos with bflooks in his first post, I am feeling philanthropic. SO, here is what I feel most most people here will agree with and tell you if you asked them for some things to remember about how to grow into a better, less-flamed adult.
1. Be Humble. Admit to yourself that you are not a toyota tech or offroad expert. Ask more questions BEFORE you do things instead of doing them, scaring yourself, and then telling everyone about what happened.
2. Be smart. Dont post dumb crap! Dont write inflammatory things! You know exactly what reaction you will get on both of these before you post it if you will just think! If you are doing it on purpose, then I would question your place here.
3. Cut out the swearing! No one wants to read it, and it gets censored anyway. It makes you just look worse..
