Don't sell my 69 Charger(florida car)  ;)cause the girl I'm engaged too says it attracts too much attention(was 21). Ended up getting rid of her too....

It's funny to see how many of you lost a car because the girl/wife wanted it so.  When I had my 68 my then girlfriend hated the car and gave me an ultimatum:  her or the car.  I wonder how she's doing...

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.

Same here.  The 69 I have now is actually a gift from my wife.

Don't eat yellow snow (in fact, pay attention to much of what Frank Zappa has to say)
Do eat your vegetables
Upon discovering that women aren't men, don't waste the rest of your life repeating the experiment
Don't tell your father what kind of "off" he should perform
Never ever jerk off in public!  Especially on a bus in a foreign country with no passport and a pocket full of cocaine.  (I never actually did this one but its probably still good advice for just in case)

Cut up the credit cards.
Spend even more time with your grandparents, aunts and uncles.
Don't tell you best friend it's OK to date your recently ex girlfriend. It screws up friendship...for too long.
Find the $75 you need to make the last payment on a vintage Strat.
Never waste your time saying to a friend, "I want the first right to buy it back."
When two drunk co-oeds look at you with doe eyes and ask you to walk them back to their dorm room, WALK THEM BACK!

"Cut up the credit cards."  Learned that one the hard way.

"When two drunk co-oeds look at you with doe eyes and ask you to walk them back to their dorm room, WALK THEM BACK!"  If i had a nickle for everytime i played the "nice" guy back then.... oh would i be rich.. but, there was this one time....  she was a strawberry blonde...  :icon_smile_big:

Buy a used Jeep Wrangler and just keep fixing it when needed, instead of a new ride every 3 years the last 15 years or so.
See if she really does like you
Buy that 68 Charger for $300

Ghoste, you ever read Zappa's autobiography? 

It's a great book & some of it will have you in tears. Like the one story he called, "How I Almost Blew Off My Balls" where he tells about how he dumped out a ton of gunpowder from a bunch of old fireworks. He said he sat on the dirt floor of a garage & made a pile in front of him. He expected to see a mushroom cloud when he lit it, but instead, it blew him across the room & left a crater in the floor. I bet he'd go back & tell himself not to sit in front of it when you light it.    :smilielol:

You'd be surprized. One you might consider is not trying so hard to live up to your screen name.  :2thumbs: :cheers:

I have read it Bob.  How someone could combine so much humor with wisdom amazes me.

Play more sports while young and make routine physical fitness a part of daily life.

I would change one thing. I would go back and tell myself that I am NOT invincible and that my BACK depends on how I treat it. And somehow convince myself that I am lifting way too much..

THOUGHT I had alot of regrets but just had my 10 year hs reunion........ :hah: :hah: :hah: :nana: :nana: :nana: :smilielol: :smilielol: :smilielol: :lol: :lol:.
I did awsome. however ya theres a few things I would have changed.
Get those damn patents
Start that damn business
No the old ppl were right slow down your not superman.... I hurt..lots
Should have went to college after hs if i didnt start that business or get the patents...
Should never have sold my first charger but then again...it was hurtin
Never should have sold that javelin for what I did.... :brickwall: young and dumb and still might be
Stop my self from spending all the money I made when I first started working instead of pissing it away on friends and girls...
then again I am happy with my life thus far, wish my job wasnt so dangerous and far from home.. but other then that I am grateful for everything. and without those woops and regrets I never would have appreciated what life have giving and I have made for my self and wouldnt have had a clue how to get here.  :cheers:
