The Most Useless (Yet Common) Response to a Post

Some one asks "I want to reverse my ring & pinion so that I have 5 reverse gears and one forward, what is your opinion?"

or "I want to put 22 inch Khromes on my Ride, whadda ya think"?

Invariably, mulitiple genuises will respond "Its your car, you should do what makes YOU happy."

Duh. Brilliant response, Captain Obvious.

Everyone knows that they are the owner of their car and they are free to do whatever they want with it. But sometimes people just like to get an OPINION on a proposed course of action. The brilliant response above isn't what the person is looking for and is basically a non-response.

I don't think anyone has ever posted "This is my car, should I do what makes ME happy?"

So, in the interest of saving time, I propose that whenever someone feels the need to say "Its your car, you should do what makes YOU happy," the response "Canned Response No. 1" be typed.

This will save keyboard wear throughout the US.
