While his opinions on products were to be taken with a grain of salt, he was fine with me and answered some pms i sent him re: silencing rattles in the car which worked for me, to this day. Some of the real armchair mechanics on this site and a few legit ones say the guy didnt know what he was doing but watching his diy vids, the guy new more than 90% of the new assclowns we get on these forums daily who run out and have a bunch of mods installed on their car, not knowing the first thing about how cars work and what things do. He was a contributor like it or not.
How anyone could have actually 'hated' plac, a guy they didnt know in the real world but on an internet forum, is beyond me and those people need to get lives and get out more.
