If You Could Go Back & Give Yourself Advice......

What would you tell your younger self to do?   :shruggy:

Me? I'd tell myself to.......

1) Call & apply for that job as soon as you get home, not tomorrow.

2) Ask her out, she won't bite. If she does bite, be sure to save her number.

3) That small leak in the transmission line of that car you want so badly? It's not small & it's not the end of it.

4) Withdraw all of your money.

5) Borrow as much money as you can.

6) Sell whatever you own, even your clothes.

7) Now buy that rust free 1971 Cuda Convertible in the classified ad for $3000.

8) Yes, trust me, buy it with the different colored paint in the door jambs.

9) Now, sell the 1971 Cuda Convertible with the now matching door jamb color & pay cash for that house.

10) Don't answer that email, you're only opening the door of the nut house.

I only have one thing I would change.  If I was able to change that one event, it would domino.  Maybe for the better or for the worse.  Outside of that, my life has been fair.  But, I wouldn't change any of it.

That one event: Don't wink at that girl in 7th grade

Same here.  Go to college asap.  I waited until I was 36.

Don't be afraid to win.  Yes "he" it's supposed to be the fastest kid in school but you are faster.  Don't be scared of the attention you might get from the track team.

This will have a domino effect.  People might expect more from you, but you only need to make yourself happy.

never marry anyone.live with the women for 5 years than get a new one.

That skateboard will take you a lot further in life than that little slut who's going to cheat on you 6 months after she talks you out of riding it anymore.

And go to college.

Slap that teacher in the face that told me manual trades were on their way out go get a degree.

Sittin in an office 8 hours a day bites. Wish i would have went into heavy equipment operation/eletricien/plumbing/machinist.

Care less about what others think. I have mastered this know but should have when i was a kid.

Take all the money i could get my hands on and buy apple stock.

1. Don't play the hero and try to disarm that d*ck with the gun when your 30.
2. Don't take that guy up on the offer to join the "club" when you are 24.
3. Don't feel so bad for being the different one, the rest are just insecure idiots in HS.
4. Never let 'em get you down. People throw rocks at things that shine.
5. Believe half of what you see, and none of what you heard.
6. Don't sell that '69 Super Bee.
7. Stop partying with your buddies and trying to burn candle at both ends, they will be the biggest pieces of sh*t you've even seen after HS.
8. Invent something called The Internet and Something called SOcial media, at 22 Y/O.
9. always remember at any age people are idiots. Take them with a grain of salt.
10. Hold onto people that treat you as an equal. They are your "true" friends.
11. NEVER get hooked up with Wayne when you are 36 Y/O.
12. ALways remain true tou yourself.
13. Stay away from a girl named "Tammy"  when you are 25 Y/O..
14. Don't hold a grudge against your brother for over 20 years. Be the bigger man.

WANT TO BUY:
Looking for a CD by  'The Sub-Mersians'  entitled "Raw Love Songs From My Garage To Your Bedroom"

Also, any of the various surf-revival compilation albums this band has contributed to.

Top ten:
1. Forget how funny that damaged green Superbird looks and buy it from the wrecking yard (at least get the nose and/or wing).
2. Do not sell the 68 Charger R/T for $500.
3. Get a Bachelor's degree in anything as soon as you finish high school.
4. Buy the 1970 convertible Challenger you passed on.
5. Do less screwing around and more serious planning so you can afford to do the screwing around when you're older.
6. Choose a less strenuous and dirty line of work.
7. Don't ever go into debt, except for buying a house.
8. Invest every dime you can into Apple, Microsoft or Mopar muscle cars as soon as you can.
9. Refuse to ever live in a big city in a blue state.
10. Stay away from tobacco products.

Supplementary: 11. Join up for a 4-year stint in the Air Force. Compared to other branches of the military the cost-to-benefits ratio is favorable from what I've seen.

At the time though I probably wouldn't even have listened to myself. :brickwall:

1.   DON'T buy that 1982 Datsun 280ZX Turbo 5 spd.  It might look cool and fast, but it will almost kill you!
2.  Don't convince yourself that having the first Hum J-7 Jeep body kit on the East Coast will be cool.  Yes, it looked cool but wow, what a pain fabrication and modification it was to do!
3.  Have more fun in high school.  Life is too short to be worried about getting in "trouble"
4. Don't be a pushover and take $h!t from anyone!  Stand up for yourself.

I don't want to play this game. It almost hurts to think of the missed opportunities.

I will add one thing, though, that's relevant to this site. Never buy a Charger out of Mattoon, Illinois.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I don't think a site called 'CooterBook' would be too popular.   Well at least not for Social Media anyway.

1. Even though you're tired of school, go on to college to be a doctor like you intended to in the first place, it pays more than a mechanic.  :slap:
2. Treat that angel you married out of high school like the angel she is, and not like she's one of the boys.  :slap:
3. Don't spend every dime you make partying.  :slap:
4. Don't marry that one.    :eek2:
5. You need to patent and make all those ideas you think might sell because they will be made by someone else and they will make money on them.  :scratchchin:
6. Don't marry that one either.   :slap:
7. Don't trade that sweet 72 SE Brougham for a that Lebaron convertible just because wife #3 wants it, I told you once not to marry her.  :slap:
8. Don't sell that Duster you hardly drive so cheap. He really doesn't want it, he only wants to flip it.  :slap:

Here too.  I started when I was 18, partied for three years and never finished. Started back up when I was also 36.

1. Don't waste your time in a hard rock cover band.
2. Don't listen to Dad when he says-don't buy that rusty 440-6, 4sd. Superbird for $2.5, buy a new car instead.
3. On your first date at 16, and you find out your dates nickname is "swallow", she probably has a reputation.
4. Four years of college or the Air Force. Pick one and do it.
5. When the IRS calls and says you transposed some TIN numbers, don't reply to f*cking bad.
6. Don't fall in love with Mopars, Mustangs are a lot cheaper (like your first date).

Don't worry about what friends are doing after HS,   worry about yourself.  Enlist or go to school asap...  don't wait.   Pick something and do it.

Tell the HAL guy no thanks,  I don't want to relocate that far away from my family. 

Listen to your inner voice saying there's something really wrong with her and you can't fix her either.

Tell the guy well thanks it was nice that I found my old car but you really want too much for it.  I'll pass.
