"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

They are in thousands on auctions and so long as interior is okey, dash insn't flooded, and engine isn't locked up, fixable. We talking about problems like water in oil pan, transmission, rear end. Corroded sensor connectors. Eaten up positive connections where salt water hit positive and it was under power. So long as inside modules, they are weather proved and components are coated in gue, water prove. It's just the connectors that get messed up, maybe onboard fuses because of shorts, maybe power mosfets.

If you could get such a car for around 5 to 10 thousand, it could be a deal of a life time.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Several years back I bought a rebuilder truck that was pulled from the ocean. Unplugged and cleaned everything electrical. Lots of corrosion on electrical corrosions. Replaced several control modules. Dealt with an engine light that stayed on all the time and never could figure out, but other than that it was good. I'd rather fix a wrecked car than do another flood project. Replacing body panels is more black/white and less trouble shooting and time invested. But definitely some deals out there.

Hi Duke,
I had a similar experience with Friends Car,that he had buried on the beach trying to launch his boat...After cleaning,went well,but it was pre-computer and had a manual gearbox,put flushing Oils through everything several times,went well but sand had got into the fuel tank and after a year or so the Oil Pressure started dropping,an Auto-smart friend diagnosed impacted sand in the Main Bearings...End of story,he got rid of it!
