Its brakes......

Not breaks...lol, that makes me nuckin futs. and brakes as in what slows you down to not impact into a tree, person or other vehicle

You need to define your context. If you're talking about a Civic, Corolla, etc...yes, it's brakes. If you're talking Maserati BiTurbo, then the correct term is "It breaks".

What is it on a Camero?

It's it's, not its. Your move

Breaks don't matter if the car has a ceased engine.

If it's ceased up you just gotta unloosen it...

Here's your dose of semi-related weirdness for the day.

Text-message break up (relevance at 2:49ish)

Warning - somewhat NSFW and most of you will hate the music. Cheers!

also when a craigslist seller describes every option issue color stat personal gripe and more and more JDM YO along with one hundred thousand key search terms without a single period comma or any means of punctuation sometimes evenforgettingtousethespacebar man it gets irritating reading about how badass the car is but they can't tell you what motor is in it or what transmission it has ARRGH

Someone one here explained some sort of regional origin of "need fixed" ("need _ _ _ _ed" in general) that was supposed to make some kind of sense. It still grates on my nerves.

"To be" ( _ _ed) or not "to be", that is the question. And the damned phrase doesn't parse without "to be", so use it!

Needs fixed... needs painted... Yeah. I still don't get it.

Also, they are shocks and struts.

Kinda like a VW Common Gear?

I live in Pittsburgh, PA. It is the blue-collar, quasi-educated Mecca. I am a Craigslist whore and I have started to avoid CL here (genuinely) because of the massive incompetence.

If you are trying to sell a 1985 "Camero" that you've owned since new, why (in the last 30 years) haven't you noticed the correct spelling that is plastered all over your car in about 20 places?

Of course I do live where people have actually found ways to spell the regional colloquialisms.... N'at, dahntahn, f'real.

Life's too short, man. Let it go. Let it go.

In reply to fast_eddie_72:

You're right, of course.

On the other hand, if people actually paid some attention to use of language, we might have a modern Shakespeare or Wilde as popular writers, and not just pot jokes, wiener jokes, and awkward situations as the height of comedy.

This is just another reason we can't have nice things.

so you aren't going to catch the Larry the Cable Guy/Bill Engvall tour when it goes thru your city?

It's Pampers, not dampers. Dampers are used Pampers.

Concours not concourse. A concourse is what one may have to walk through to get to the concours.

Loose and lose. Loose lug nuts may cause one to lose.

I might catch Bill, he's funny. Larry, though, no chance. I can't stand the "i'm a dumb hick" shtick that he puts on.

Here's your sign is much better than Git 'r dun...
