I always look at cars as business decisions. When I started I couldn't afford anything so I hustled. I did own hondas cause I liked them and I was drawn to crxs. But as I got older it was always about "how much money will I lose or make if I sold this car today"
that's always kept me from spending a ton of money and I've always kept my projects from getting away from me money wise. I usually barter , steal legally, trade etc to get parts for my cars. Or I happen to know people that give me good deals like skunk2. Or I have people like Charles and James and mainstream just do really good work for a reasonable price.
The only car that ever cost me money was my 2jz 240. I had $15000 in it and I think when it was all said and done I made $9000 back after the motor blew up. Any other car I've always at least broken even on.
I won't ever buy a supra or something like that it's just not my style. I dot even really want to put that kinda money in a $20000-30000 car it's just not a wise investment. I try not to spend or go over $10000 in Any car I build or invest in cause the last time I did that I lost my ass.
I would rather own a jrsc crx as a play toy than a 700whp supra . I'd drive Roxie car as a daily but not my fast car lol
I justbought a bike so thaw my focus for now. Maybe an ls1 s15 in the future or something with a v8
