MuuMuu101's 68 Dart, A Learning Process...

This has to be the most epic thread on here. Constant updates and learning.

....and just out of curiosity, Where'd the MooMoo101 screen name come from? You may have already said, but I am lazy and hat diggin. LOL

Well, the thread title does say it's a "Learning Process..." Honestly, ever since college and working on the SAE Baja Club, working on cars has given me a lot of anxiety with the fear that I will make a mistake or ruin something. It was a very negative environment and every time I messed up someone would either cuss me out or tell me how worthless I was despite the crazy hours I put in. That's why I left the club after 2-3 years despite how successful we were. My physical and mental health declined very quickly. It's pretty difficult for me to deal with even 5 years later. I'll watch car build on Youtube and think to myself, "I can do that! That's easy." Then when the opportunity for something small arises I freak out. I try to be as hands-on as possible and want to be the best engineer/person I can be (I have a Master's in Mechanical Engineering for crying out loud and may possibly pursue a PhD). But even when the small stuff breaks, they always seem like mountains to me and I tend to break down and get discouraged very easily. Confidence in my abilities is still something I'm working on. It always seems like everyone else thinks I can do it, but me. But with everything that happens, I always try to learn something and never want to stop learning. I just have to push myself.

MuuMuu101 was something I thought of in middle/high school. MuuMuu came from the Simpson's episode where Homer tries to be morbidly obese to work from home. He wears a MuuMuu (his dress). I just thought that was a funny episode as a kid and no, I do not wear MuuMuu's. 101 was just an addition to it. I guess a number I liked. Since I used it on one forum my first year of college, I just started using it on multiple forums.

It's funny taking my friends/family to Fall/Spring Fling. Often from a distance someone will be screaming, "Hey MuuMuu! How are you doing?!"
