lol Ill probably have the "not tryin" part down pretty well for a while. Ive also noticed...when you dont have a gf that girls dont usually notice you as much as when you do have a gf. Its like when you do get a gf you start findin out the girl who sits next to you in class likes you and stuff like that, and they start flirtin with you more when you're taken. Has any one else noticed this lol.

I did ck your gallery,thats how I knew you liked muddin,and the tune up,here goes.

First remove aircleaner and with airhose(turn pressure down or dont get airnozzle too close)blow from inside toward out to clean it,if after cleaning if you can put it up to light and see light through it Then its clean.
Second,remove the pcv valve,clean it real good,it has to rattle when you shake it.
third remove plug wires and inspect real good for any signs of bad areas or cracked boots(note put a piece of tape on each wire with a # on it to remind you where it goes back on later,also do this with a magic marker on cap)If you find a bad spot tape it up real good,this is only a temp fix but should last until you can afford wires later.
Next,remove cap and rotor,inspect both real good for cracks or burned areas.Gently clean contact areas on underside of cap and both the top and tip of rotor.
Next comes plugs,and with new heads I always use new plugs,but if you cant make sure you clean the electrode area with sandpaper and then regap your plugs.
there you go the basic no money tune up,but just make sure to make a list of the stuff that is going bad.so you can buy them later.
You will have to change your oil when you do your heads,I dont know if your runnin antifreeze or water down there in texas but either way,coolant will get in your oil as soon as you split the headgasket seal area,even if you drain the rad first,coolant gets stuck in pockets in the head areas.If when you get ready to do this and you run into a problem just shout.I am proudly a Ford Service Technican,I HAVE A BIG HAMMER,AND I KNOW HOW TO USE IT!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dating Tip #1 > Don't treat a female 'Like a Princess'.

I suggest you treat Them like your Equal

Treat them..... how you would like to be treated.

Woman like to be treated special but that doesn't mean like a princess. Princesses just sit back and receive things and have things constantly done for them.

Unless they are selfish,Most people feel better when they give of themselves.

Once you find her, show her respect .....Try doing everything equally.

I wouldn't worry too much about finding a new girlfriend right away. Sure, rebounding is fun, and can be rewarding. But that isn't what you want right now. Just concentrate on you. Be yourself. Before you know it, girls will be hounding YOU instead of you trying to get them.

Girls can smell fear. If you go out on the prowl, they'll play your game, but twist the rules to fit them. The best way to not let that happen is to get out of the game. Once that happens, there is no fear for the girls to smell. And they'll be breaking down your door.

Wezol--

Don't get too worked up about not having a g/f. You are 17, enjoy it. You won't be 17 again. Go to college, have fun, spend time and money on your truck. Won't be long before you won't be able to.

don't get too excited about Brittany cheating on you. You're 17, she's 16, and you ain't married. Play the field, see other girls. If you like Brittany, see her too. Repeat: you aren't married! Don't make too much of a point of having fun in front of her, don't make a point of ignoring her. It's not worth the trouble, will just make her, or you, or both, feel worse. Act like you always act. Do not make babies yet but enjoy yourself.

Go to church. Just going doesn't really mean anything, but the fact that you get out of bed on Sunday morning instead of sleepig in, drive to church, listen to the sermon, shows you are willing to make a sacrifice for what you believe, and an hour or two a week isn't much of a sacrifice. But--go for the right reason. Girls are not the right reason. Find a church she doesn't go to, and go there.

I know I'm kinda late to this thread, but FWIW, here's my $.02 .

seems like good advice.

You know, I don't think I was that lucky. Maybe I'm not a nice guy, how the heck am I supposed to know. In case you aren't sure, its with two girls, one that I love, and one that loves me, both are easily worthy of any man.

hey man.... been outta town for a week.... obviously I missed alot, lol

Dude, like it has been mentioned earlier, YOU ARENT MARRIED TO HER! So what is cheating?? I mean... I know my ex-chick thought "cheating" was talking to another chic (with whom I have been friends w/ since 10 yrs old, long before I met the X). All in all, man, just dont worry about her. Just be YOURSELF. Anything other than that, and she'll see that she has affected you. Your just 17 man, heck, I'm just 19 too (and I've been through EVERYTHING that you have posted, literally almost word for word), now I'm in college man, and there is so many girls, I cant ever decide which one I wanna ask out (course the only problem now is I've found a REALLY NICE ONE<---yes... they do exist, anyways... thats a whole nother thread). If your a senior... than college life is just a few months away for you. And besides, I'm sure you dont go to as small of a high school as I graduated from, you should be able to date 2 different girls a week for the rest of the school year and never have to repeat one. hehe... see what I'm saying?? I graduated w/ 60 people, lol, my main problem was that most of the chicks I went to school w/ were "best friends" w/ the X.

Haha thanks guys. Ya Im just gonna move on, as of right now I really dont care if I have a gf or not and Im not gonna be looking. If the right one comes along Ill go for it, if not I wont fret. Thanks triton for the tips on the free tune up lol. Ya I was wonderin where you went Traxxis. You did miss alot lol. Well she made out and did "other stuff" (wont mention) with another guy while she was my gf, if we were only dating I prob wouldnt care, but she was my gf at the time. To me thats cheating.I dont put up with being cheated on and lied to. Told her that from the start, when I told her that she said "I think your too nice not to give second chances." I wonder what shes thinkin now? Im only a junior, I dunno if I even want a gf in college or not cause the parties are awesome but can get outta hand (been to a few) and I dont want to have to worry about doing somethin Id regret if I had a gf. But thats a few years off so I aint gonna worry bout it.

sorry there dylan but after reading this whole saga i am so glad that im out of school and dont have to deal with all the BS of dating a chick that young each and every one of em hasnt got a clue about life, and sorry to say youre still kinda green too. At your age i would worry more about getting an education so when you get mature and meet a woman who is mature ( not to say you arent mature for your age, but at your age most males and females are far from real maturity) you can fall in love and have a real relationship hopefully with a woman deserving of a guy who seems to have a decent head on his shoulders, and a good career ahead of him. Dont sweat the girls now just date em anddont worry about being serious or relationships... trust me after youre married ten years lol youll wish you was still single LOL

I let a woman tick me off one time. I ended up rolling my truck for it. Don't let it get to you. All these guys are right. You are young. Enjoy this time because it will never come again.

Remember what a wise man once said...
"Worring is about as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum."

Let it go my freind, and you will look back and be able to use this as a learning experiance.

The worthwhile leasons are always the hardest to learn.

I got a letter from her today confessing everything she did, along with a picture of her. I wonder what made her think I wanted a pic of her after all this. Well I just wrote a letter back but I cant repeat it on here, I refrained her any names to be the bigger person but I just used some adjectives to help get my point across easier. So I mailed that along with her pic, along with the letter she wrote torn in half. And also my best girl friend who Ive known since first grade and her bf found out who are both kinda protective of me. Well needless to say I almost feel sorry for her on wednesday night at church when they see her. This is the end of it I HOPE SO MUCH. Oh and she send me so many freaking text messages and since my phone charges for sending and recieving I had to use half the money I worked my rear end for my heads, to pay for my phone bill. But I did probably send a 1/4 of the total messages though.
