I spent almost two years of my life living, literally, on Peachtree Street and Buford Hwy. Sleeping in bushes, abandoned, broken-into buildings, under awnings and just wherever I got too tired to walk from. Talk about rough. And all for not wanting to better myself to afford my life and a hobby. Or just my life alone. I finally wised up and got myself on track, got a damn good paying job to where not only can I afford restoring an old car, but I have a wife that hasn't worked in 10 years.

Think about it, man. Your life is so much more important than any car. Get your life on track the days of working on cars will be that much more enjoyable. Later, QD.
Listen to this man. I have been in the same boat. I lived out of a Mercury Sable with my mom and two brothers for a year. It's not fun and isn't a joke. My dad was in jail for countless charges, so my mom was the only one working. She couldn't even keep a $600/month rent and food for us with $10/hr. When I was 16 I was a little over 6 feet tall and weighed 130lbs. My two brothers and I ate one Totino's pizza a day. Split between the three of us, not each. I tried to find a job all the time but no one would hire me. Maybe me being closer to your age helps. I know how us young guys don't take heed on advice from our elders....lolol, QD. It sucks going from having anything you could ask for to absolutely nothing but a car for shelter.
