I do not plan on attending college because I already have a well paying job lined up. However, it is my dream to restore classic cars and hot rods. What is the best way to go about learning how to do so?

Hey everyone, just wanted to share my heartbreaking story and hope I can get something positive back I could really use it right now.
I’ve been an emotional wreck for sometime now, every since last Thanksgiving Day. I’m 35 and had been dating this girl all last summer. We had a great time I fell deeply in love with her and for the first time in my life felt she was the one for me I wanted to share my life with and grow old with. She had a little boy that I grew to love as well just as if he was my own. Anyway she didn’t have a job or a car she was down on life and was living off the government. I wanted so bad to help pull her out of all that. Not to brag but I have a bit of money and am self employed. So I would buy her and her kid anything they wanted for the most part every weekend was a shopping spree for them I didn’t mind at all I loved doing things for them to make them happy. But I did tell her she needed to get a job even if it was at a grocery store would be something to get her out of her apartment and be more active. She said she can’t work because she don’t have a car. Well I’ve been into restoring and selling classic cars for 18 years I’m always buying, selling, fixing, and trading on used cars and motorcycles or anything I can make money on. Anyway I wanted to really do something nice for her and surprise her. I had just finished restoring a 1985 chevy C-10 pickup and had it up for sell. Ended up having someone wanting to trade me a 2005 toyota camry for it. Even though we was a bit off trade value I thought what the heck. It was a little 4 cylinder automatic car very clean in great shape and I thought this would be perfect for Courtney. So I traded with the man just for that reason, I wasn’t worried about making a profit or coming out ahead on this because I wasn’t thinking about myself. I took the car changed the oil, gave it a good detailing, checked it over and took it to her apartment. I handed her the keys and title saying here you go baby doll it’s paid for it’s my gift to you to show you how much I love you! And even gave her the money to have it registered and insured. All was good for a couple weeks until she started calling me all the time asking for gas money. I said that car gets 30 MPGs where you been going? She said just out with friends. Anyway come Thanksgiving Day she did not want me around not even to be calling her phone, again I was paying for. I find out from her neighbor she had been out running around with some guy for some time every since I gave her the car. When I ask about this she came clean and told me yeah I’ve found someone else. I feel apart and ask why baby? She explained to me how he was SOOO much better looking and how she just wasn’t at all attracted to me. I ask after everything I’ve done for you and your son your going to do me like this? She said it is what it is you can’t compete with him hes in a whole different league. I ask where dose he work? She said well hes not I’ve been out helping him look for a job. I said oh ok so he don’t have a job?? LONG PAUSE…. I said let me guess I’m going to say he don’t even have his own car either that’s why you been needing all this gas money so you could run him around in the car I gave to you? She said look it’s over I didn’t know how to tell you but your just not really my type and you best leave me alone and stop calling and texting me or Nick will beat your F—ing A-s and trust me he can no problem so you best back off I’m warning you!!!!
So I’m totally destroyed and heartbroken, and lost in life right now. I’ve not been out working, I’ve lost the drive to do anything, get out there and do my car deals I do. Find fix sell trade ect ect. I’ve been trying to get a engine in my Trans Am for 2 weeks I can’t stay focused on what I’m heck I’m doing for my mind always thinking of her and asking myself over and over and over just what did I do wrong! I get to emotional to work on stuff and sat alone in my house for weeks just wanting to give up. I sold a motorcycle I loved and had forever because I can’t even stand to look at it anymore sitting in the garage and not think of her and the good times we had riding it last summer.She loved to ride that bike with me. I have no one I can talk to I sit in my garage all day looking at stuff that needs to be done yet can’t find the strength or the drive to get up and do it. I feel dead inside the youthful likable guy I was is gone….
I really need help just don’t know where to turn….

My 73′ duster is one of my favorite cars because it’s the car my dad bought for me when I was 1st getting into buying and restoring classic cars. Back to my question, I wanted to check it’s oil earlier however the dipstick was broken of with well over half of it still in the car. How this happened I haven’t a clue. I’ll have no trouble getting out what’s left of the dipstick when I have more time, but I can’t find a replacement dipstick anywhere. Please point me to a site where I can order one.

i have a 1991 rover mini that im in the middle of restoring (im almost 16) the car is 21 years old now so doesn’t qualify as a classic (i believe) but i know that when it becomes a classic i can get insurance on it untill i’m 25 so i want to know that if my mother is listed as the primary driver can i be put on the insurance as a secondary driver (at the age of 20) ……………….or am i wrong, does the mini become a classic at a later age than 25?

So we have had classic cars for one generation, baseball cards for another. So I was watching my 14 year old nephew yesterday and wondered what he will be buying and saving for the future.

Also, what will all of the twenty somethings today be collecting when they get older and closer to 40?

There’s plenty more in my iTunes if I’d bother to go and look. I tend to like one song from an artist, but the artists I listed I pretty much like MOST songs of. I like ALL kinds of music, except the radio crap, and I like SOME J-pop but not very much of it. I’ll take rock/altern/metal if it’s good enough.

I dislike too much repetition. I dislike: A.F.I., Gorillas, My Morning Jacket, Aqualung (repetitive and stale, but could’ve been good), Boys Like Girls, Justin Bieber, AM Sixty, Arcade Fire, Six AM, She & Him, A Fine Frenzy, Angus & Julia Stone (except for one song), newschool Hikaru Utada, newschool Linkin Park, some Beyonce, Sara Bareilles, radio indie music, R&B music, top charts dance/pop music, most dubstep, Apocalyptica, H.I.M., newschool Usher, Jason Derulo, Gackt, newschool Jesse McCartney, Regina Spektor, Bob Dylan, Def Leppard, Scooter, most Basshunter, most Chairlift, most music from musicals (except for Mama Mia & Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera), most Bullet Fot My Valentine, Bootyluv, some Good Charlotte (I like some of his songs a lot actually, one of the first pop albums I owned was his first, but some songs of his are just horrible), Rascal Flatts, Jessie J, Panic! at the Disco, Bon Iver, Smile Empty Soul, Baby Bash and other boring rappers, most Tailor Swift (I LOVE two of her songs, and hate the rest), Nickie Minaj, Jose Gonzalez, most Adam Lambert, most Oasis, most Bjork, Bob Marley, Beck, most 3Oh!3, some Yo La Tango, most Brad Paisley, Alicia Keys, Owl City, Big and Rich, You & Me at Six, Cake, Big Time Rush, old boring crap like Anne Murray, Bruno Mars, bands where they’re pretending to be Country but are really boring pop with cowboy hats and Southern accents, newschool Black Eyed Peas, most Pink Floyd, pop/indie bands where you got one person with an acoustic guitar who thinks he/she is a poet or a romantic when in reality they’re just BORING.

Don’t love nor hate: Hikaru Utada, BoA, Arctic Monkeys, Benny Banassi, Jet, Joy Devision, Beastie Boys, Blood on the Dance Floor, Anya Marina, BrokeNcyde, Cheetah Girls, Cascada, Bitter:Sweet, Faithless, Cat Power, Jojo, Josh Groban, Fall Out Boy, Metallica, Alkoline Trio, Adelitas Way, Aaron Carter, Beat Company, Ashley Tisdale, We The Kings, Ke$ha, Black Sabbath, Gomez, Taio Cruz, Barenaked Ladies (I love 3 of their songs though), Clay Aiken, R.E.M, Baha Men, Lily Allen, Smiths/Morrisey, Sublime, Queen, Miranda Cosgrove, Beirut, The Click Five, and Royksopp are OKAY(I don’t hate nor love them) but I rarely if ever listen none-the-less. I dislike R&B, radio pop, pretty much all kinds of rap, and repetitiveness.

Don’t comment on my taste in music. Just give me as many musical artist recommendations as you can.

I’m 21, female, and like all kinds of music, so long as it’s fast or there’s a lot going on, or at least the lyrics are good. I am picky; usually I’ll only like one song from a band everybody says is a “classic.” I like trance, alternative, pop, some metal.

I pretty much dislike all acoustic, mainstream pop, rap. I’ve been stuck with pretty much the same music for five years now. I’ll now and then discover a new artist, only to figure out the last album made was several years ago.

I left out a bunch of artists.

RECOMMEND MUSIC TO ME NOW. I spent hours typing this up, so I’ll be displeased if nobody can recommend me some good stuff. Don’t comment on this post; don’t point out typos or
More music I already know about: Backstreet Boys(like), NSYNC(meh), Justin Timberlake(dislike).

I’m in the mood for downloading music but I haven’t heard any “great” songs lately. Everything seems so repetitive and overdone.

For instance I like hip hop but I’m really sick of all of the songs being about sex,drugs and money.

I like dubstep but I only like some dubstep such as Skrillex’s Scatta and I like Deadmau5 but only when the song includes vocals.

I also enjoy rock music but I hate whiny emo rock songs about the singers hating the world and crap. My favorite rock artists/bands are Within Temptation (but I hate Evanescence),Chevelle,Breaking Benjamin and Flyleaf.

In order for me to actually fully enjoy Kpop or Jpop the rythm has to be upbeat sort of like party music such as Big Bang or G-Dragon. I can’t stand K/Jpop love songs.

Don’t give me any screamo songs I hate those. Oh and if it’s not too hard please stay away from super popular songs like Adelle’s Set Fire to the Rain because I most likely already have it and if you give me Hip Hop songs don’t give me old crap like Tupac or BIG.

Thank you so much.
