iow, "what is a good low-cost brand for after-market frod tie rods?"
[assuming they're even needed.]

that's one line, easily answered. but you didn't say that. instead,
you blather about "your friend", their sex, jeep, and psychic diagnosis
which are all completely ****ing irrelevant. even more so if you dags.

but to make this torture worse, not only do you not have a filter that
allows you to get to the point on any damned initial question, you're
incapable of getting there even after repeated subsequent cattle-prodding.

conclusion:
you're just unbelievably unspeakably retarded - not for being
stooooopid, but for NOT keeping your stoooooopidity to yourself.

but you're not even asking the right question, and you're still not
capable of getting there even when you get responses. all you're doing
is wasting electrons.

you need to stick to organizing your trunk. only keep it to yourself -
nobody needs to know that you're clueless about doing it.
