If you want a final explanation in more detail read post 1400.



And yes, there were many throughout this thread that threw stones at Paul, threw him under the bus (another figure of speech) and blamed him. I have a list.





Now I have to go take a chit. Wait a minute you don't take one, you leave it. But everyone knows what that means right?

That's about the dumbest thing I have ever heard. I'm trying to be good about this but this is getting silly. Nobody in their right mind would consider that a figure of speech. Remember when I used the term "The motor blew up on the dyno" and I was immediately corrected about that. A machinist is going to use a term that is consistent with what it really was..A spun bearing. I have texts from Paul saying it was a spun bearing and he was texting a novice. I think it may be a good idea to just stop trying to sell the "Figure of speech" excuse because even a novice like me can figure out this BS. I may not know about cars but since Paul disclosed that I was in law enforcement (detective) for 28 years, it's safe to say that I can smell BS when I see it. I dont want to do or say anything out of anger but this is getting to be too much. I guarantee that a majority of the people that are reading this "figure of speech" excuse are now shaking their heads and losing respect. You're making it worse for Paul, Formulajones. You may want to stop. Seems like everytime you start cheerleading, things get worse.
