Thread: Removing the battery

This is to funny. How is this the most unhelpful board you have been on? There are guys on this forum that can rebuild a 3800 blind folded. There are guys on here that know just about every damn bolt size on these cars. I have gotten help on other cars than Grand Prix's on this board.

I don't even mod my GP anymore but yet I still hang on this board because the Thunderbird forum is 90% people like you. So much infact that the long time members on TCCOA have made a video explaining it.

And im sorry im not familiar with doing this stuff. Im sure i know how to do things you guys would be clueless at. I was asking one question. How to get the battery out. I dont really think it was that stupid of a question. I dont work on cars and never have so figuring out how to get stuff out and what not properly is tricky. You guys are talking **** for no reason. Im not trying to pick a fight or anything but its pretty clear most of this board is filled with elitists who think their car knowledge gives them some kind of superiority. I managed to get it out and replace thanks to a helpful poster elsewhere.

I am sorry if you took this harshly but this is the web and you will always get unwanted comments. I guess I come from a culture that is built around do it yourself things (sister changes her own oil) and even my mom know how to change a battery.... no offense. But like you said we are jacks of different trades in different words of course.

I'm not sure who you were trying to take a stab at with this post, no one on here thinks they are an "elitist" nor do most think they are superior on this forum. You were told on page 1 of your post how to do it and even told the exact socket size and the fact that you need an extension for the socket. You then disregarded that information and were looking for an alternate method instead of going to walmart to get a $10 socket set so you could do it right and be done with it. You could have even taken the suggestion of going to Autozone or a similiar store and having it installed for free and/or be sold the tools you need and instructed by someone on how to do it.

To be honest, you started the bashing by saying "You don't know how to take this battery out, you don't even have a GXP". That was uncalled for, you don't know what other knowledge others may or may not have, for all you know he could be a mechanic. Most of us don't only know how to work on our own Grand Prixs.
