needless to say, i destroyed the clutch on the trip down, got stuck in the middle of nowhere for a couple days, and then continued the trip 😳
I love driving stick 😏
Can't make it over the Oregon Trail without breaking a spoke.
I want a Miata so bad.
So fun
Why does it say "you haul" if the car supposedly drives? 🤔
because it needs a battery & ECM
will probably run with just the battery
holy shit guys
I just got a brilliant idea
> buy one of these crappy $500 cars
> use it for 1 trip
> sell it
Not having a battery is code word for "yo this thing is so much junk we had to scrap the battery for $8.75"
yeah I would take a battery with you & take it for a spin before buying it
It's not like a 20 year old car is gonna depreciate in one month, is it?
it has 208k miles on it & its 30 years old
worst comes to worst you can scrap it to probably break even
eh I kinda don't wanna lug a battery around if I might not end up needing it
how much work is it to scrap a car if I will no longer have a car to haul the scraps?
Worst comes to worse, keep it in your backyard and slowly turn it into you War Rig
take it from a guy whos had way too many painful car experiences
okay what's the minimum I should spend on a car to use a few times and flip it?
I don't actually need a car, I'm just trying to avoid the Greyhound
you cant really flip a car tbh thats very difficult work
I don't mean flip as in try to make money
look for biohazard cars that people killed themselves in & clean them out: those are probably your best bet for money makers
oh
I mean use it a few times and sell it on Craigslist
eh thats not really how a car works man
better to have a reliable vehicle you use for 10 years
wait, like clean out the brains? 😳
ya but I'm a poor college student
yeah most biohazard cars are garbage because theyre from accidents
The greyhound is a great way to build character
just dont get a car then man
but how am I gonna get to the Northwest Forum?
@Valaska It was a proto-redPill for me.
cars are only money sinks. at the very least youre putting money into it in the form of gas, oil, tires, etc
I did NOT enjoy the two-hour loiters in the stations... But was not honest why
The cost to get a rental seems like it's gonna be just as much as the cost to buy a shitty used car and use it until it breaks
