Think hard about what you want the car to do.

Think about resale.

Think hard about your budget.

People go out and spend a ton of money for little gain over "modified" OEM parts.

Don't be a sheep.

Research for at least 3 months prior to buying a thing.

What looks like a good thing today, may be a "dooh" later.

The first things to buy are good cleaning products, a floor jack, 4 car stands and a set of "usefull" metric tools.

Then get a oil pan and fumoto valve, and service your car.

Only use quality fluids and lubricants.

50% of things people recommend are not required.

Don't be fooled by marketing.

Let the car get to temp before thrashing it.

Shop smart

Buy a house

Ring your mother

Be nice to animals

Treat everyone equally

Don't be a self centered ****.

Don't eat yellow snow.
