"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

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.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

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!
