Invested in myself by doing things that scare the shit out of me - Around junior year of HS I realized I had nothing to lose (I was pure white trash, still am, really.) so if something looked impossible, I went for it. I wound up in an ivy leagueish college, worked my ass off, I starved, went out with beautiful girls, photocopied text books because I couldn't afford them, I drove an old porsche I found in a junkyard, went on tour with my band, went to europe with $80 in my pocket. Made a lot of mistakes, but god damn it was fun.
- _Lemon_ 16y ago> I drove an old porsche I found in a junkyard This (along with a lot of other stuff you mentioned...) is interesting, what happened? Were you just looking around a junkyard and stumbled across it? What state did you get it in and how much did you know about cars when you got it? I found this on your site but it didn't give much background info: http://trickykegstands.com/porsches.html http://trickykegstands.com/porsches.html
- tricky 16y agoWait, What? Normal people don't know what kinds of cars are sitting in their local junk yards? heh... somehow we knew it was there. I grew up in a family of backyard mechanics and my brother had a 924 parts car in the driveway. He graciously let me pick and pull parts for free and helped a LOT. Believe it or not, as long as it isn't wrecked too badly, you can probably get almost any car back on the road with $100 craftsman tool set and a good sized hammer. Or, better yet, find tools for really cheap at garage sales.
