There is zero sense. It can be a hobby passion but no efficiency no feasibility. Hence a waste of hard earned money scarce time that could be put to great use with anything else
@ShawnzeyRacingКүн бұрын
That logic might make sense for you but everyone has different goals in life ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I had the money to spend on a car so I did. I have the time to fix the car so I do. If you always think about life in a efficiency mind set then your doomed to only do what you think is the smartest thing. And if that's how you enjoy life then that's great! But I'm trying to experience cars and my new found love of KZbin! So I'm going to do that :)
@VanguardklКүн бұрын
@@ShawnzeyRacing sure just efficiency and doing the smart thing leads to better outcomes. One thing leads to another and gives you greater success. For instance, very simple, if you'd work on a car with long term value retention and scarcity value you'd be making a great decision and potentially set you up to do even more cars in the future.

Normally the cost of repair is 3-4 times the cost of a complete good used model, when your buying new original parts, starting with a new body shell.
@ShawnzeyRacingКүн бұрын
Idk where you heard that but it's not true In this case... These cars clean title low mileage go for 50k - 60k. So I imagine mine will sell for 40k or so. Your rule would mean that the repair would cost nearly 200,000 dollars... Which it does not. Your rule may make more sense for cheaper 1000 dollar cars.

@garagehemmelergmbh7934Күн бұрын
@ShawnzeyRacing I think most car ppl focus on the content more than on music. In my opinion it only distracts. Look at the vids from M539. The way he cuts his vids is similar to yours. But without music. I find it more appealing. Very snappy. And please do us all a favor and keep buying cars we as normal ppl can afford or at least can relate to. Small channels get big, and they end up buying lambos, Ferraris, McLarens and so on. Not as interesting as affordable cars. Keep up the great work and good luck growing your channel. And be transparent with your budget. It's always interesting to see if a project made sense from a financial perspective. And how many views are necessary to justify a build like this. When do you break even, when are you able to make profit... I'm always happy to see a good youtuber make profit and is able to earn a decent income. We are here to support good channels, but don't forget us along the way as you grow. 😉

Great progress was looking at supras to buy one but ended up with a 230i.
