    Okay I get it. My grammer and spelling sucks. However, I find it interesting that I have had others PM me and agree that they were also treated poorly by Kwik Wire. They are just smart enough not to post it on here. So what can we complain about here on the hamb? So lets make a list for the FNG of things it's okay to gripe about on the hamb. I am suggesting the following: Harbor Freight Tools, anything made in Mexico, optima batteries, and any A/C company other than Vintage Air.

    I think this is the most post i have ever had on any topic before. So if i want answers i just have to look like a idiot. Thats good to know.

    you can complain about anything in the world on the HAMB as long as it isn't political or show some form of prejudice.

    The results will pretty much be the same most of us are just going to have a good time with it. Two things come to mind, it keeps it up so others can read it and it is fun. This time it was fun at your expense, next time it may be fun at my expense or 40Studedude or skidmarks.

    No doubt the touchy feely police will jump in ans say how mean we all are. They don't get it.

    No one really takes it personal unless you say something bad about there mom or something.

    And life goes on.

    The original issue was with two extra wires. Within 45 mins of my first post I had people on the HAMB contact me and answer the question I had originally posed to the seller. So I guess the crap I'm getting from you guys is worth it. By the way should I send back my college degree.

    Wouldn't do any good...they don't want it back...and just because you got a college degree doesn't mean much around here...I never went to college...barely made it out of HS...but I can find my way around proper grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc...

    Better watch out you got too much punctuation. The watchers will get you.

    All of those little 'things' are called "ellipsis"...they ARE part of the punctuation family... as in:

    "The ellipsis can also be used to indicate a pause in the flow of a sentence and is especially useful in quoted speech:

    Juan thought and thought … and then thought some more.
    "I'm wondering …" Juan said, bemused...."

    Courtesy of " The Guide to Grammar and Writing."


    Thank you for your concern...

    Um, no, those "things" (plural) are ellipses...

    I thought we covered this earlier. You're an idiot, not a idiot.

    I have used kwik wire in my cars, and had great success with them.

    Don't send it back, I'm sure you earned it. However, I have met a lot of "highly" educated people that will never have the common sense that the school of hard knocks handed out on diploma day. Maybe you are one of them.

    Well, I spent a lot of time in college, and picked up a few degrees. Useful in my career, but also it taught me how to learn. Which is why, though I am pretty much an automobile idiot, I am smart enough to hang around here.

    I'm new to the restoration/hot rod game so I'd never heard of Kwik Wire until reading this rather entertaining thread. I did just get a good deal on a Painless Performance wiring harness. I hope my luck proves better than the OP.

    College degrees mean nothing really....hell even I got one of dem (actually two) and I'ma complete moron....all that proves is you have the ability to learn and put enough time and effort into something to finish it to the end (AKA put the appropriate checks in the block as it were).

    I've met military officers that were dumb as a box of rocks, and conversly met enlisted folks that were sharp as hell....(one in particular had a PhD.)

    To the Kwik wire deal....I've used three of their kits, all of them worked seamlessly even with the custom stuff I had em end up doing. I even dealt with customer service on a few issues and they went above and beyond to help me sort my question out.

    You may possibly want to review/change how you deal with people your trying to get something from?
