"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Guess whose baby got new ceramic brakepads today?!

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Rice rockets....man....losers.

I smoke ricers with my 1989 Chevy Beretta all the fvcking time, and that's not even tricked out at all. Little fags pull up next to me wanting to go, and I just crack the throttle and well..damn...I'm ahead. Next thing you know, I cut them off or they get behind someone being normal...damn!

-_-, its disappointing to see a stock car smoke civics and other ugly ricers all the time.

Actually I've had morons who wanted to race me before. Usually I would agree, then I would let them go ZOOM while I drive slowly, waiting for the little traffic camera to snap a photo of their speeding car and send them a $500 fine.

So far, I've racked up 3 kills. I'm hoping to make 5 by the end of 2007 :D

I drive a Ford F150, V8. The new pads ran me sixty dollars (front axle), and are pretty easy to put on. You just need two C-clamps - but can use one - and a tire iron and a ratchet set to undo the calipers, and new brakepads and maybe grease if you're ambitious enough to put it on the pads, between them and the pistons. The grease helps the two pads to wear down more evenly. It takes about maybe 45 minutes for both wheels.
