Living in a town of car nuts I've noticed that there's two schools of thought on car passion projects:
- "I've looked forever for this car and I've finally found it in a restorable condition so I'm gonna spend thousands of dollars and several years of my life painstakingly restoring it to a point where it looks like it's brand new"
- "I just picked up this shitty old beater in a junkyard for $50 and I'm gonna do the stupidest shit imaginable to it and laugh as I drive it around and see people cringe as I pass"
And both are very valid
Like the first one will give you something like this:
Beautifully restored to a perfect condition and it looks like it just rolled out of the factory despite it being decades old. The owner will kill you and your family if you scratch the paint at all
And the latter will give you shit like this:
This dude just said "can I put a boat engine in a car" and went and did it and it's glorious. Probably doesn't drive fast but it drives and that's all that matters
the car in the second pic has an immaculate aura
