Folks and cars
I wanna ask why folks seem to hate the fact that im building a car.
Even my friends hate me for building it, why? My car dont affect your life. The amout I chose to spend dont affect you. Im not better than you, im just a normal guy with a normal job. The only difference is I eat top ramen and buy nice stuff for my car...
Yeah I look forward to the day I pull out of the shop with huge slicks and that Harwood scoop. That is what makes each day at work worth it.. (I look over that scoop in my head every day in traffic on my way home while driving my normal car back from work)
Dam it all, Its my car and I think they all just jealous that they cant make their own dreams come true....
Cheers to making dreams come true and thanks for all the help along the way...
Vent over..
I get the same ration of crap from my mom and girlfriend about my 68 fastback.
1) A two door isn't practical with a 3 1/2 year old.
Bullshit! He can climb back to his kiddieseat. I can fit his balance bike in the back, or the trunk as needed. It's something my son and I can work on together. So what if he only has little toy tools and pretends to take out invisible screws. We are having fun together.
2) An old car isn't reliable, "Why did you buy that piece of ****?"
Bullshit! When something breaks I can fix it. CHEAPLY! I paid what? $300 for a nice radiator for my mopar. When I had to replace some chickenshit stuff on my 2001 540i (a thermostat and water pump) I had to have a shop do it and it cost upwards of $1000, PLUS the radiators on those kick the bucket every 100,000 miles or so ($800 or so). :finga: to BMW. My mom still has her 98 528i and her maintenance bills are THE SUCK!
3) You're wasting money on that car when you could be buying me jewelry.
Well honey, if you weren't making monthly payments of $383 (nifty eh?) plus $93 a month on insurance (I pay $41 a month), plus $150+ a month on your dumbass iPhone, you'd be able to buy yourself all kinds of crap. I spend less every month fixing my car up the way I want than a new car costs, and at the end of it, I'll have something to show for it PLUS good memories for my son for the time we spend together on it.
4) It's not safe, no airbags et cetera...
So I should live my life in fear? I prefer to ENJOY life and accept the risks involved in doing so, whether it's in my mopar, or on my motorcycle. Motorcycles don't have airbags either, OR SEATBELTS!!! OH NO!
5) ***** ***** ***** *****...
I've stopped listening to the women in my life because they very judgmental and aren't supportive of my choices.
