take out the counter weight in the trunk lid.

Didn't know that existed. I'll look into it. Found that the bolts holding the rear speakers are still causing noise. I put hot glue around it, seemed to have deadened it for now. Still need to look in to getting my spoiler to stop rattling. But I haven't even looked at it, so I'll probably think of something.

At 19 don't try and figure out what you want in life. Just enjoy it. While your enjoying it think a little about it. Work at different places. Get a job. Doesn't matter if its fast food, restaurant server, or even a landscaper. Get a job. And do good at it. Don't just go the bare minimum. Go beyond. Make it to a manager position. Save money and do your job. That way you can enjoy being 19 and still be putting money away.

By the time you've got some saved up, credit right, and your a shift or store manager, you will have found out what you wanted to do as a career. And no it won't be fast food. Lol.

What did you go to school for? Your major?
I graduated hs not college. No clue on what I want to do or where I want to go in life. It's getting really old

yeah it's behind that grey plastic clip in piece in the middle of the trunk, on the under side of the lid, right behind the 3rd brake light. it's just a big chunk of steel bolted in. When I used to have two 12s and an 1100w amp i would just look for random things I could do to stop rattling, and taking that out helped a lot.

open the trunk lid. while standing there looking at it open, there should be a grey plastic rectangle shaped piece in the very middle on the bottom, one clip on the left and right side. Unclip it and there should be the counter weight behind it.

What are your hobbies? What do you enjoy doing in your free time? What could you see yourself waking up for every day for the rest of your life?

Most people start into college with no idea what they want to do, less people than you think know what they want to do with their life before college. Start shadowing some friends/relatives at their jobs for a day, or start taking some classes that sound interesting and see if something clicks with you.

This is all easier said than done, but the point is sometimes you have to try throwing yourself at a few things instead of letting it come to you.

This.

Honestly. to me. I wouldn't start college unless I knew what I was going there for. Why go to college and get a degree in something you just passed test on but don't really want to do? Its a waste of time and money. So not only do you go and waste all that time and money but you get out and can't even find a job in the field you got the degree for.

Like he said. Shadow your friends and family at their jobs. See if any of it looks interesting to you. At one point I wanted to go to school for art. Cartoons. Comics. Stuff like that. But later on after I got out of school I realized that I only like doing that in my free time. Not when I have a dead line to meet. But working on cars. Ill do that with or without a dead line and love every minute of it.
