Don't do this. A 1969 RR restored is about 100K +/- at auction, hence the 20k 'rust bucket' price. Worse so many were destroyed by the studios for Dukes of Hazard it rendered it artificially rare.

If you are really interested in classic cars get some classes on auto maintenance and start to really learn about the cars you are interested in. Otherwise you are a lamb to the slaughter on this.

yea im sure they are rare i've seen quite a lot of car auctions for classic cars just for fun on tv and all the RR's are fucking insane.. 60k-100k easy the 20k ones are nothing special though i mean they are BADLY damaged frame work alone needs a shit load of work done on um and i look at the same models from out of states in better condition and they are going for slightly less. i only know of 3 cars that are popular here in the category 1. mustangs 2. camaro's 3. usually nova's but tie between nova's and chevelle's

i was actually thinking of going into that because that is the career i actually wanted to get into but i got highly discouraged because i took my first auto mechanic class in highschool freshman year and the teacher was horrendous. he had no business being a teacher in general. it's still an option as well because i love working with my hands i love computers more but Hawaii doesn't have good jobs pertaining to what i want to do which is programming. i'd have to move to california for that.

what my plan was is if i did decide to get into cars and go to school for it then i'd eventually pick up a classic muscle car on the cheaper side fix it up myself. that is why i was thinking of getting the civic and modding it. i know i wont ever find a RR here though i'd have to buy one out of state and get it shipped. other one i was into were GTO's but yea both are highly prized

You don't have to move anywhere to write code for money. If you have the ability to write code do it.

Learn to take care of cars to save money and pay for your hobby but the money is in code, good luck.

not in really bad condition and i can still fix it up as i please. just car shopping though see my options for the future but yea i have a friend from culinary school her dad is all about muscle cars so if anything i can ask him to help me out fixing it up and stuff or ask my dad.

yea prolly not i mean idk much about coding tbh all i know is im really good with computers and if i were to get into it coding is something i think i'd be interested in. i tend to like fixing computer issues the one that pisses me off the most are all hardware (software not hardware lmfao hardware related issues is too easy for me) related stuff that i would say deals with coding in some sort of way but it feels really great when i spend like 5+ hours fixing something i have no idea how to fix.

Painted this sugar skull when my sister was here. thats the piggy bank i was gonna use for my car money. came out better then i expected. it's not perfect but to me the lack of blue on the skull makes a nice effect. makes it even better because it's something i personally painted as well as an artist imo nothing is perfect not even the food i create and that is the joy of it 20190601_202558.jpg 20190601_202605.jpg 20190601_202614.jpg

They've been drifting to the north and to the south of me ... but none made it here. I've been putting the mowing off and off; guess I have to murder the front meadow today.

The boy got the front lawn done about 45 minutes before the storm rolled in. I was taking pictures of the sunset, and saw a rain shaft off to our east but it didn't look like it was coming our way. I guess that one triggered all the instability. I need to download the pics still.

I managed to get my cukes and squash picked, {but not before most of them were too big}. Not near as good was the worms I picked off the tomato plants. Normal horned tobacco worms and a small brown worm too. I had to find my grow shit and mix up some BT. I got all the pepper and tomato plants sprayed.

got to check on the sunflowers today see where they are at because they are so close to opening up. i was thinking of moving them outside but i was just taking a smoke outside earlier and my grandpa's plants have Powdery mildew ( im thinking to myself how the fuck do you get PM it's SUMMER! ) then ontop of that i see black dots i know it's some sort of disease as well but not sure if PM and it turned black or what.

so still debating on taking them outside just to finish them off and start prepping my tent for another bud run. flower is likely going to open next week already. just checked on um it's half way open might be fully open by tomorrow at this rate
