    Everyone has to start somewhere. I have done a lot of stuff when working on cars that I would bet you would laugh at. Even now, I don't know everything and don't go around talking (internet or otherwise) like I know everything. On the same hand, if someone needs help, whether they ask or not, I am always willing to take the time to help them and hopefully teach them along the way. I don't laugh at them for not knowing or not understanding something. If they are willing to learn, I am more than willing to teach. I don't hold myself higher than anyone.

    I was told by my instructor not to help and when id try and give them a helping hand or a little guidance they didnt want to listen
    I actually like my group we are the only ones doing real work in the class

    Its just that 2 of them are barely 18 and act as if they know it all
    And my boy is the forth in our group and he's in his 30's like me and just sat back and watched them go...
    We actually all laughed about it today

    Still have to do a full flush and swap from dex to the green stuff and a pressure test on the system
