The abominable Snoman is a large hairy bubba like creature associated with the seldom snow covered regions of the Ohio between Indiana and Pennsylvania. He is also known as Snojob, Snoboy, idiot, and many foul names. One would think the sightings of the Abominable Snoman are rare but sadly that is not the case. The Abominable Snoman avidly makes his presents well known in many groups.
Some of these groups are: alt.autos.4x4.chevy-trucks alt.autos.dodge.trucks" alt.trucks.ford rec.autos.makers.saturn rec.autos.4x4 alt.rv alt.autos.toyota.trucks alt.trucks.chevy alt.autos.gm
The Snoman can exceed 300 post in one months time. That's more than
10 post per day which one can conclude that the Snoman has no life outside of the internet. One would think with such extensive amounts of post in automotive related groups that the Snoman would have an extensive background in automotive service and repair. However some simple research into the Snomans background quickly proves otherwise.Taking the advice of the Abominable Snoman is done at your own risk. You put your money, your vehicle, and your life on the line with a creature that has no background in automotive technology. The Snoman will often reference objects with little correlation to modern vehicles, such as his 50+ year old John Deere tractor to back up his off the wall claims on coolant. The Snoman has no regard for the pH balance, freeze protection, or boiling point requirements for modern automobiles as the Snoman simply relies on the visual appearance of the coolant in a 50+ year old tractor.
The Snoman is also a big conundrum in the sense that the Snoman will rant with claims of the oil industry price gouging but at the same time pointlessly recommend the higher priced higher octane gas for vehicles that do no require nor benefit from it. And where does the Snoman come up with the facts that this will improve HP and gas mileage? From non other than the Snoman himself. A simple Google search would turn up many first hand sources clearly stating that higher octane gas has often hurt their gas mileage and shown harder cold start issues in vehicles not rated for it. (We still await his answer on where the knock sensor is on a RAM V10.)
The Snoman is a very dangerous beast. Just one example of the dangers of the Snoman is his promoting the use of hydrocarbons in Mobile Air Conditioning Systems. Anyone with real experience in the MACS field can tell you how very dangerous the use of hydrocarbons can be. The explosive state of hydrocarbons in the AC system can very well take someone's life. But this has not deterred the Snoman the least bit as his claims that tetrofluoroethane (only known as r134a to a layman such as him) is somehow more hazardous to human health.
The Snoman also continuously makes some interesting and clearly hypocritical statements which make no sense at all.
Here is but one example of such a post
QUOTE : "When I am clearly in error I will admit it while others do not so they are never wrong in their mind anyway."
That has yet to happen after a countless number of errors. One would think that the Snoman has a severe case of alzheimer's or an advance case of syphilis. If this were the case it would explain many things.
In closing as long as the Snoman is not taken seriously the risk to ones life is minimal. However great effort must be taken to ensure that none of the Snomans statements are ever taken seriously. This would sound like a great deal of work but the work is entertaining do to the ever so slow dim-witted nature of the Snoman.
