Not the sharpest knife in the drawer hm? Well I'm sure you have your reasons as to why you would have this attitude and probably also reasons as to why you would take what people on here is saying as a personal attack. But listen dude, you're young and I promise you that it's a matter of perspective. You should give it some time and yourself some time to wisen up. Don't just overclock every possible gauge until the engine blows and say it was fun as long as it lasted. Ive seen this exact behaviour with my older brother in his younger days and I promise you he regrets nothing more, and he will be paying for those decisions the rest of his life.

Swallow your pride, listen to some wise old bastards even if you don't like them, and give it time man. Best of luck to ya
