Newyears Resolutions

Michelle Page · 01-01-2001, 04:46 PM

Has anyone made any newyears resolutions yet?
I was thinking about making some this year. Whether I will actually succeed in keeping them, probably not! But anyway, here they are:

1. Actually finish one of the many projects I've started.

2. Try not to abuse the credit cards so much.

3. Find a better job.

4. don't let resolution #1 get in the way of res. #2.

5. Sell some of the junk in the yard.

Anyone else have any?

1) Try not to get discouraged on my 66 resto.

2) Try to build up my 96 the right way... first (cheaper)

3) Try to figure out what the h*ll the right way is for #2.

4) Learn all that I can about my cars so I can be more self sufficient.

5) Get the courage to have a (safe) little street race or to just to see how I fare.

6) Drink more Guinness.

1. Start reading instructions

3. Move parts in garage away from growing lake on floor or seal roof (ugh)
4. Stop to wash hands before eating while working on car. ("Damn sandwich tastes like brake fluid!!")

I think I'll have to make a few myself just to see if I can stick with them...

1. Build a deck, patio, and a shed.

2. Try not to spend so much money on my Stang so I can afford to do #1

3. Repeat #2 (it's going to be tough to do, so I have to include this one twice)

4. Port my stock heads and get my GT-40 intake installed.

5. Work a bunch more overtime so I can buy my TB, MAS, and Injectors. (I told you #2 was going to be hard to do).

MercDude · 01-02-2001, 12:52 PM

My new years has indeed been sad... girl breaks heart... guy looses hope and all sight of life...

My resolution is to

1: Gather heart back together and find a girl who is beautiful on the inside and outside and will love me and my mistakes - i mean, what else is college for right?
2: Stop making REALLY stupid mistakes with wonderful women... i'm sure others can relate
3: Keep family from self destructing into oblivion
4: Stop thinking about crashing Merc into a pole
5: Stop consentrating on the obvious f*cked up life i have and worry about my future
6: Pray to God more for help and guidance

Think these are realistic??
