Since then, my dad started a used car dealer, and I detail all the cars there. So yeah, I have more than enough experience.

 

That's not really 10 years of car detailing experience... So instead of building two shitty cars, why not just do one nice car?

I never understood why broke ass kids try to build two cars.

 

I'm more than happy with how my white one is now. It's nice to have a really clean car, but it's also nice to have a car that you can screw around in and not worry about shit. If something breaks or it gets totaled, it's not a big deal. But if my white car were totaled I would be heart broken.

And if I sold the black one, I would only get a couple hundred out of it. I can buy, what, lowering springs and maybe a few other things? I would rather have another car.

 

How much did you pay for this black shitheap?

 

$500. And I paid half, so $250.

 

So you could have bought some springs and struts for the white car and made it more fun to drive and look better at the same time.

Instead you have a second car to pour money into that looks like absolute shit.

 

Yes that just about sums it up. But I don't really ever drive the white car hard enough to warrant a true need for lowering springs.

 

Dude leave this kid alone, he's doing what most of us dreamed of doing at 14-15, and that's working on cars. That's all I thought about when I was that age, but I didn't have the opportunity to do so. He's 15, and I think it's safe to assume he has alot more than you did when you were 15.

Good job OP, keep up the hard work.

 

Thank you. +rep

 

He's already got one that he can barely afford, why get a second one?

What's to make you think it's safe to assume that I wasn't working on cars when I was 15? Just because you were sitting around dreaming cars with your thumb up your ass? How is that even relevant? Does it matter either way? (for what it's worth I had a pretty sweet SW20 MR2 when I was 15... just like he used to have).

I'm just trying to figure out why he's wasting his time "building" a second car when his first car isn't built? I'm not trying to discourage him, I just don't understand the logic. If he just focused on ONE car and saved up for parts for it, eventually he'd have a sweet car. But no one has patience these days... it's all about building shitty "drift missles" covered with zip ties and primer.
