what an ******. another reason that i haven't finish my F-150(other than loss of motivation on the project) is that i'm now all of a sudden helping all my friends with loads of projects that they decided to set in on. I HOPE that when i do decide to hit the F-150 project again that they come out to help drop the engine, tranny, tcase, and gas tank in it.. haha. i'm sure i can count on at least 3 of my buddies to help me get it done. In my mind actual friends can seldom be counted on 1 hand, but i'm lucky to KNOW i can count them on 2 hands, but if you count out my brother and my stepdad then i'm down to probably 1 hand again. lol. i am fortunate to know which friends i can count on whenever i need them though and the ones to not even call when i'm in a bind. good friends are far and few between so when it comes to my friends i make sure to help them any way i can b/c i KNOW i will need them sometime and they have come through for me in the past. i'm sorry that this has happened to you Kris, but at least now you know not to count on him for much. it just sucks for it to be that way though.
You count your friends on one hand, the rest of the people you know are "buddies" or "Acquaintances"
Hell. I could still count my friends on one hand if i lost 2 fingers.
These young guys make me feel old too. haha.
HAHAHAHA.

Wow! Now I feel old..... I've got to respect a guy who works for the things he's got. I count myself very blessed that I've gotten to where I am. I see people getting things for nothing all the time. What satisfaction can they possible get from that??? There are still those that are at least very thankful for what they've been given, but that's not the norm. There have been a few times I've had to tell a buddy no. Man, I hate that. I'd rather take a hit and help a guy out.

I hate to jump in but i feel the same way too. Im 18 and in college and some of these guys i hang out with dont ever wanna drive their vehicles cuz they dont got gas money cuz daddy hasn't put money in their account or they spent it on the latest pair of vans shoes. I feel where you guys are coming from. But hey look at it this way. People respect you guys for buying your own and earning your own. I sure do. The person i respect the most is my dad for making me look at life this way. He wasn't ever going to buy me my first car or anything like that. I did all that by myself and im still doing it. Paying college and PMSing all over the place. not the girly one. the truck one. haha and thats why i hang out here. you guys are all in the same boat so its nice to be able to come here and ask questions and just talk to guys who earn their way.

hahaha ya exactly. I like to watch em bend, and if a cougars getting all contorted and chit they might break..... and I don't want to see that lol. Only benefit I see is that you don't have as much drama, it's still there but not as bad, and that alone may be worth the loss of flexibility haha.
