This forum is brutal, not a safe space.

Reminds me of when I called my dealer on June 17th of 2016 after placing my order for the RS in Oct of 2015 asking what time the car was getting dropped of that day. Salesman said it should be next week, I said call me when it arrives. About 4 hours later he called and said "You're never going to believe this, the truck just pulled up with your car." I told him I think he believes it less than I do based on my call that morning. He didn't know that I had very close tracking on that car since it left Germany. Work let me leave early to go get it too. I was not about to give anyone time to rub their balls on it. When I got there the PDI was not even done, well not done correctly would be more like it as they said it was ready to test drive, but I found the shipping blocks still in the springs. Mid way on the test drive I stopped and disabled the transport mode so that I could get into sport mode. Did the paperwork and left with the car that night. My salesman on that car was great, I asked him to pull the front plate mount and rear plate adapter when it arrived as I didn't want tech deciding to install either, front plate not required in NC and the rear adapter has an issue where the screws for the plate would rub/cut into the paint, and he had them out and on his desk before the shop first attempted the PDI.

You've obviously never seen my bed, nor do you want to.:lipssealed: :wink:?
This is one of the members of the Grammar Police attempting to nicely bring your attention to an error. Many of us exist, and some of us are able to keep our peace when we see such things. But sometimes we just cannot contain ourselves.

Proper word to have used would have been "lose", which rhymes with "snooze".
"loose" would rhyme with "goose".
Just sayin'

I don't have an issue with it. Sometimes my fingers type faster than my brain can work. :crazy: But it doesn't say much for the rest here because it took almost 24 hrs to catch the mistake. ?

No, not really.
As I said, some of us just keep our mouths shut when we see these things because we don't want to be called out as Grammar Police, or other bad things that we tend to be called when we point this stuff out.
We see it, we just try and let it go so as not to ruin the mood because this IS a fun forum and there's no need in pissing all over anyone's cornflakes.

I mean, it's already bad enough we can't see the 5" Ranger drop, and the OP on THIS thread is in dire danger of having his truck sold to a rogue Canadian....
Lots of drama to deal with already! ;)

I'm not really the "Grammar Police" but lose vs. loose is a pet peeve of mine. I, also, think
AzScorpion may be "as loose as a goose" which exacerbates his problems with grammar. :LOL:

These 3 get me. There, their, and they’re.

The boat over there is their boat, and they're going to take me fishing next week.
