I will pass on the gossip sites....J.D.

What makes me laugh about social media is the young twits that call themselves "influencers". Again...I'll pass. I don't really care what other people are gossiping about. Most of that is commercialism disguised as opinion. I am not that gullible. ...J.D.

All I can give is my own policy. I avoid anyone or site that wants to advertise anything to me. Again. Just my personal aversion to marketing. ...J.D.

Don't be an old man.

Hey genius. I AM an old man.. I would venture a guess I am the oldest member on this site. Who wants to spend their time conversing with young twits ? ...J.D.

I am not that hungry for people to talk to. Even on this site you have to ignore some really stupid questions. And just for the record, I am 77. My 3g is just a toy that happened to be left over from my working life. I am a retired engineer. Not really interested in listening to young people venting. Again-- I'll pass. ...J.D.

I started working on cars at about the age of 12. My dad had an old flathead Ford. Dual carbs, hot cam, dual exhaust. We ran a water alcohol ejector [technology of the day] to limit any pinging. I went on to Volkswagen air cooled's. Worked in all manner of import cars in independent shops. Worked in Ford, Volkswagen, Fiat, Renault dealerships. Worked in the local school district bus barn that had a fleet of 150 vehicles. A lot of times in the dealerships I preferred to work on the used cars, but also did warrantee and customer pay. I did an engineering apprenticeship in middle age. Now I only own Japanese or European cars. I also have 3 British motorcycles. I really do not need to go on social media and listen to young ones whine about how bad the world is treating them. I was out making money to supplement the family income and buy my own clothes for school when I was in Jr.High School. So young ones, quit crying and get busy. I have NO sympathy. ...J.D.

I sit around and socialize on a few sites around the world when the weather is bad or my old body hurts too much to get anything constructive done. My life does not revolve around a 20 something year old car. It is just a cheap plaything. When it breaks something serious it's going to the scrapyard. There are more important issues in life. ...J.D.
