Awesome! As far as I'm concerned, he deserves what he gets. Very stupid... He was sitting on top of the world and blew it.

Figured it was just a matter of time.

 

GM cant afford to be tied to a cheater.....one of the few cases where bad press is actually bad.

The article just said the contract ran out well before the sex debacle, the vehicles were scheduled for return at this time prior to the sex debacle, and they came and got some vehicles . I don't read more into it than that.

 

He's just a man. A young man at that. He lost his father while he was still young. His father was his mentor. He's got more money and freedom than most any other men on the face of the earth and he's recently lost this guidance of his father. He crumbled. BFD. I bet a lot of men would have. I didn't watch Tiger's golf because I though he was a loyal husband. I don't watch sports for the morality. If I did, I'd never watch any of it. There are so many thugs, criminals and poor characters in sports that nobody can keep track of them all. But, most of us will still watch the Super Bowl, right? How many felons you suppose are fielded that day?

Not to defend his actions, but roughly HALF of the US population (both men and women) have cheated at some point in their marriage and since he doesn't do commercials for "save the family by not cheating dot com" or whatever...Well...He's just part of that 50 percent. Nobody should be throwing stones.

He seems like just another billionaire brat to me. Albeit, he made the billion himself. But so did those blond dingbats that are runnin around shavin their heads and partyin till they drop or whatever their latest escapades are.

 

Hey, I'm all for everyone making a choice not to watch someone or some show, based on their own criteria. To paraphrase Emiril Lagase; "...turn the knob, that's what they make it for..."

 

At the risk of needing a football helmet for protection from a bunch here, everyone has to admit, Tiger Woods is still a fairly good guy of good moral character. He's done more for charities than this whole bbs membership combined. I don't think that's something to forget because he failed to meet our expectations in another area of morality.

 

If he comes back to the PGA, I'm going to watch his golf...because he's got the best golf game that ever came along.

My prediction:

He will come back strong later, snub GM when they offer him a vehicle later down the road and Ford will sign him up throwing the "Dirty Jobs" guy out on the unemployment line :dunno:

Really....knowing you could jump in the proverbial sack with the chicks he did....I think 90% of us would be questioning our morals.

 

I mean its not like the guy had to try to get laid...a billion bucks tends to do that.

 

Its not so much that he got caught cheating that was bad...I mean how many do you know of that haven't cheated....its that he portrayed himself as a person that was above that...this just made it worse.

 

If you heard that some star was caught in the washroom with some model in Hollywood...you wouldn't think twice about it...but since its Tiger..the good wholesome devoted family man...now its a big deal.

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.

      I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.
