"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.
Your thoughts on modifying cars or your own.

"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.

Sport bikes are a horrible idea. Vipers do the same thing sports bikes do...only they do it to your wallet.bigjohnson said:If you want to go fast for less than $120,000 just get a sport-bike. OR you can pick up a used but not used up Viper for $50K. Most of the rest of this crap is just schoolboy foolishness.
Some people have very inexpensively turbocharged the small block chevy to 800hp streetable and the big block Chevy to over a 1100hp. I think the cheapest and easiest way to make power is with nitrous oxide. You use to be able to get kits for 300-500 extra hp for around $500. To make the big nitrous numbers you need to build the motor like a supercharged/turbo with lower compression, a different cam, stout engine parts, dedicated nitrous fuel supply and ignition retard.Bible_Belt said:The gtr is highly respected, but the guy I bought the Stealth from had one and ended up selling it out of frustration at the high cost of getting high hp out of one compared to his friends with Mustangs and Camaros. It is a lot cheaper to get a high hp number in a large-displacement engine.
“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Who are you callin' a retard?
Making big HP is the easy part, making it reliable and usable takes a lot more work. Even pro tuners with deep into six digit budgets struggle with this. Watch the boys on Top Gear try to get a lot of those beasts around their test track to understand. My favorite was a tuner built v-12 M-B with 850 HP that just. wouldn't. stay. on. the. track.
Hmmm, well I've been on bikes for 35 years and I'm still OK, but then a used Viper wouldn't hurt my wallet much either, so ....PRMoon said:Sport bikes are a horrible idea. Vipers do the same thing sports bikes do...only they do it to your wallet.
I didn't know I was calling anyone a retard? I disagree that it is any harder to make an engine reliable as it is to make HP if you have the money and know what you are doing, it's just an extra consideration in part choices. I agree it's always a challenge to get a car to handle well with high HP, but the high HP is for the straightaway.bigjohnson said:Who are you callin' a retard?

No, I mean the vehicle as an entity. Any time you start adding huge HP gains that echos around every part of the vehicle, finding every weak or cheap link. In the end it's a huge project and often expensive.ketostix said:I disagree that it is any harder to make an engine reliable as it is to make HP if you have the money and know what you are doing,....

Yeah I totally agree. That's why you're ahead to just buy a factory made performance car that's been thoroughly engineered and then maybe tweak it a little. It's kind of silly not to mention expensive turbocharging an econo-car like the Civic all the way to 300hp+ when the rest of the car's mechanicals were never designed for that kind of power. The OP should've just got a supercharged or the later model turbocharged Cobalt SS. It's diffcult enough just keeping a stock car in perfect maintenace and everything in perfect working order.
