Agreed on fluids but, your avatar may tend to offend.

What's offensive about my avatar? Does history offend you? Maybe if it was a picture of Yamamoto it would be okay cause he was japanese.

HONDA ALL SEASON ANTIFREEZE/COOLANT (taken directly from the bottle):

"When used as directed in Honda vehicles, this coolant will give complete protection for 3 years or 45,000 miles."

Not a a very "long life". :thinking:

BTW - No, history doesn't offend people, but some might question your motivation for choosing that particular icon to represent you.

First the coolant you are trying to say is not long life is not longer availible. Honda quit making it, if you happen to have some you bought recently you got old stock. The new coolant is "long life" and it says so right on the front of the bottle, it goes on to say other things like it's long life blah blah on the back. see the attached picture....


And I didn't really think history offended him, I was being sarcastic. I don't care if anyone on here "question's my motivations" as to what avatar I have up at any time. It's been that way for a year and nobody has said anything until now. It's not there to represent me at all and that was an assumption on your part. I see lots of different avatars on here and I don't go bothering ppl about them and assuming things. Mind your own business.

I'm just floored when I hear things like this. Unbelievable. No idea how you can have an ITR since '00 and only have 4000 miles on it...all I can say is congratulations.

I'll mirror what RJ said.

Unless you're going to bring it out and start tracking it, OEM is perfect.

Before I could be offended by a picture, I would have to know why you exhibited the picture, I think.

I think most of us would assume that it's a warning to us not to allow history to repeat itself.

Could be wrong, but that's what I think I'd assume. :P

I could agree with you, but not with the picture in question. It stands for Hate, Evil, Death and Horrible things.

Well, then let's go back a step and let him explain himself and his choice.

If you saw the SS runes just displayed on the wall of a building in a town or a city what would you think?

I certainly wouldn't think happy thoughts or that someone is trying to make a positive social statement as to "let's not let all those terrible things happen again."

Sarcasm and terribly poor taste are 2 very different things. Sensitive members would be concerned with the latter.

Then You'll have no problem telling us all what it stands for as your avatar and why you chose it?

If it means nothing to you then there's no point to have it, and potentially offend others then is there. (rhetorically)

Just because some or many may not be aware of something does not mean it is not offensive or is acceptable, that ironically plays into the Nazi's rise to power originally.

Then why have it at all unless to only stir up the pot and cause trouble when it is recognized. And if you notice I Never mentioned Anything about it representing you or anything about you.

But, ya gotta wonder.

Good for you.

Uhh, no. I think something as offensive as that deserves at least an explanation.

Offensive as in What it Stood for.

Sensitive as in people who understand what it really meant.

It doesn't "stand for anything", I find it funny ppl have time to try and "find" something wrong with a picture. I think we were talking about fluids in an ITR not trying to make statements about WW2. If you want to talk about it let's post in the basement.
