I don't know why it doesn't add up. I took 3 AP courses (faculty wanted me to take a fourth but I drew the line), was on the school rifle team, computer and other clubs, Scouts, acolyte at church. I didn't restore a Mustang but I probably had time to do so if my father had dumped an opportunity and support in my lap like that. It's the part-time work for spending money that killed you -- I had dropped my paper route before I got use of the family car so no longer had that chewing through my time (or supplementing my bank account).
