Second source can be used in many different ways. So in GONZO's instance He would be working on his car (the source) would be a different mechanic. and he is right alot of people around here are just certified idiots. But i still dont see why this post had to go anal over two words, drama queen
Source= You
Second source= someone else
and its not a new term it has been used for years, being a mechanic i am supprised you have never heard this joey

i have worked in both parts and repair for almost 9 years now, and this is the first time i have ever heard of that phrase. i was taught Sublet.
and i hope you werent referring to my wife being a drama queen, her post was not directed at anyone on here at the moment. it was a generalization of how people act and basically was being said to INHIBIT anything like that from happening.

so excuse the fuck out of us for wanting to clarify what someone said.

second sourcing in MY world..with MY husband being fucked over constantly by fucktards (and NO I'm nto saying anyone specifically on drag, actually someone that I"ve never seen on drag) ..anyhow to ME it means
fucking your own shit up.
taking it to my husband or some other mechanic.
wanting him to fix it immediately at a discounted cost becuase 'you know him' or some shit adn becuase you NKOW it can be done oh so much quicker by yourself.
when he doesn't do it as fast because you're irritating the shit out of him you get mad = bullshit.
we are used to THAT kind of what you called second sourcing - the mechanic being the second source for a personal fuckup. I wanted to clarify. I wasn't speaking personally to Adrian or anyone here. I did however ask him to clarify. Excuse the fuck out of me for not knowing all your words of wisdom in the car world. I really couldn't care much less.
I hope you find someone to do the work you need mike (I think that's your name) but I'm so sick of people saying shit about mechanics in general. I agree with you for the most part, but it's like the endless bitch thread about getting out of a ticket....OLD. I am going to take it personally at the moment because, yes, I am pissy because of this person. I'm sure you all have felt this way before.

FC I respect you alot and you know cars well and im not saying you do shitty work or anything ...... but dont play the good guy and back your wife up online If she makes a post that could possibly cause someone to flame her she is a person just like us that is her dicision of words and she chose them. I dont back (my boys up online because it is childish) IM not trying to piss either one of you off or make anyone on here mad. so just chill I took no offense to it and gonzo took no offense to it. I was just simply putting my two cents in. If it offended you I am man enought to aplogize, Be man enough to accept it. point blank.......................................

Re: Good and bad places to shop/get work done in Roanoke
i am not backing my wife just cause she is my wife. i agree 100% with what she said because its the truth.
i dont know if any of you have ever had to deal with some of the customers i have had to, or had to deal with some of the work that was attempted and fucked up that i had to fix, but if you did you would completely understand her points.
they were not directed toward anyone on this site, as stated several times, so there should be no reason for people getting all pissy about what she said, but apparently it touched home with somone

Geez I am sorry the saying (you didnt know about till now
) hit a spot. Sorry that you husband got burned. Its a endless cycle 
. For the most part in this area we (CONSUMER) get the short stick. Sorry your husband gets a bad name cause of it. Thats just the way it IS in (This) area.No hard feeling tho it was just a saying

It happens more so to us(consumer) then to you. I am not saying its a one way thing. Like i said sorry it leaves people who do good work a bad name. I be mad if I was you too. Same goes the other way round.

i understand where you guys are coming from with the whole people fucking their car up, then bringing it to a mechanic to have it fixed and then bitching about it. I worked as a service writer for 2 years and have seen this shit countless times, it's bullshit. Agreed. I think the problem in this thread is that Emily just came off wrong with her post and EVEN THOUGH it was disclaimered to not be aimed at anyone, it seemed like she was attacking people. Then of course everyone has to chime in with their little flame since everyone has nuts the size of king kong when it comes to the internet. If this conversation was in person, none of this bitchyness would of happened. Miscommuntion is a bitch!
