Topic: Have we screwed ourselves?
So we were pretty convinced we were on the right track, bought a fairly solid (wrecked) car for cheapish, figured we could straighten it out the old fashioned way, throw some u-pull it parts on to get it running, and sell off all the pretty body pieces and interior for a couple hundred and call it good. Unfortunately, from what I've read here in the last couple days, it sounds like as soon as they see us coming they will rain down on us with the fist of an angry god for having something ONLY 10 years old, and a "performance" car (despite the fact that it's an automatic anemic v6 high school girls car...with a chassis from 1979).
So here's what I mean:
Bought for $779 (all the cash we had in our pockets, less some change) from two Iranian guys in a sketchy Latino neighborhood!
Straightened out the old fashioned way
Are we destined for a billion (with a b) penalty laps our first time out? We're guaranteed to have a good theme and some bribes.
