What's the deal with LMC?

[Unter]

I have a couple of older vehicles - dare I say? 2 1969 vw buses... Anyways, when I call parts places for the buses I usually talk to someone who owns one. Who has at least worked on them and knows the parts they have listed. When I call lmc it's Shaniqua telling me she's not a mechanic and can't answer my questions... All I asked was if the side marker listed included the socket well. Do you have to be a [censored] mechanic to answer that? Lol. Is this typical with after market parts places when dealing with these trucks? They seem to have no knowledge about the parts they sell.

Shaniqua will sit in her cubicle and file her nails in between phone calls while working for $7.25 per hour to support her 5 kids. She gets food stamps, Obama care, welfare, wic, social security etc.
To have a knowledgeable technician answering the phone would cost the company more money so that option is out of the question.

I found the solution to that:

Don't call LMC.

[Unter]

Ha! Yep. I see lots of returns in my future.

LMC usually sucks... avoid asking technical questions.

Here is a place that really knows our trucks and has a knowledgeable staff.
Sacrament Vintage Ford Parts, Inc. http://www.vintageford.com/ Call 888 FORD 100. Good parts competitive prices. I'm local so I just drive over there. You should see their place, has a diner, lots of real cars on display and all the Ford stuff you need including 30's parts and hot rods. They only speak English.....

These are some pretty racist comments

Which race? Other than the name which used to be A/A but has been bred into other shades too I don't see the post as racist. Sadly it's become a social reality for far too many younger women with the exception that Shaniqua typically doesn't need to work, and in fact will lose money at $7.25 per hour vs. sitting at home making future Democrats.

I've been dealing with worker comp for a back injury the last couple months and it's been eye opening how much they are interested in declaring me disabled vs. try to fix the problem. A coworker that has some serious back problems and was retired told me a while back that he was clearing over $4k a month on it. Sad.

I don't know about LMC but Summit Racing will give you the option of talking to a tech for tech question or just a number dummy. I'd venture that someone at LMC does answer tech questions.

[Busboy]

Yeah, exactly what word indicated to YOU what the race is of the employee is ? I think maybe your own racist assumptions just got exposed.

[hdunlap]

Some post don't deserve a response just prayer.

Yea, this post was about the issue of dealers, companies, etc not being able to answer the questions we have not race. The only way race should play into this conversation is if we are talking about getting back on the race track. ...for racing. ...to race a car/truck.

There are ignorant and useless people from every group, belief, party, region, etc. The unfortunate thing is that we have to deal with them... nicely... supposed to anyway...

I have found that its usually pretty easy to ask questions that are over the head of anyone who is not as passionate about our trucks or interests as we are. Sometimes its good to have this better knowledge yourself, and sometimes you need answers. I just keep asking until i find someone who knows. Sometimes its a dead end. Sometimes no one knows. It doesn't seem to be limited to LMC.

there was nothing racist about that post. LMC has crappy black rubber parts that rot within months.

I don't really judge a person by the color of their skin. I base it more on a person's character or their actions.

However, is being racist wrong? and by who's standards? We are told or, made to believe it is but, who's telling us this?

Blacks have the privilege of celebrating Black History Month. Blacks have a television channel devoted solely to Blacks --BET (Black Entertainment Television). Blacks have the Black Miss America Pageant, the BET Awards and the United Negro College Fund.

Insert the words "White" or "Caucasian" into any of the above and see what outrage would ensue. If it would be 'racist' to insert either of these two words into any of the above, then it's 'racist' for the word "Black" to be present in any of them as well. You can't have it both ways and it be 'fair.' Who are the racists here?

All organisms seek to be with others of their own kind. That's perfectly natural and nothing wrong with it. Lions could mate with tigers and produce an offspring but, they don't. Apes could mate with an orangutan and produce an offspring but, they don't. Blue jays don't congregate with cardinals. They all stick to their own kind because they are racists --they stay with their own kind to perpetuate their lineage and their species. Dillution of their race of species means their species disappears.

There should be nothing wrong with anyone (including Whites) to be proud to promote their own race --it's who they are. Only leftist liberals have taught White people (and everyone else) that there's something inherently wrong with being proud of who they are and seemingly to have to apologize to everyone else for being White, while everyone else carries on and celebrates who they are, with no fear of retribution for the act.

People should be free to associate or not associate with whom they please. There's a lot of liberal talk these days about 'tolerance.' Liberals are only tolerant towards someone else so long as someone else agrees with their views. If a person does not share a liberal's views on any given subject, liberals are anything but tolerant. Not accepting a counter-view point to your own doesn't meet the definition of 'tolerant.' More like 'tyrant.' --a liberal's view is, "My way or no way" --instead of just accepting all ways, whether you like it or not.

Ageist, racist, sexist...there's always guys on these forums who will jump in and point the finger.
I think its probably a case of PC or guys who "doth protest too much".
This year the word is bigot. Sad.
