Building my dream project car from nothing but consistency, questionable decisions, and WiFi.

Day 82 of tagging @elonmusk until he gives me $14,700 for my dream project car.

What's the best-sounding four-cylinder engine you've ever heard?

Asking for completely reasonable financial reasons.

Day 81 of tagging @elonmusk until he gives me $14,700 for my dream project car.

Confession:

I don't even own the Datsun yet...and somehow I already have a mental list of modifications.

My wallet is nervous.

[Rookie_Builder @rookie_builder]

@Thecargi01 They are all good, but I'll take the Chiron will me😊

[Rookie_Builder @rookie_builder]

I'm turning 26 by midnight, and before I age up I'll just ask...what the hell is wrong with the car industry?

Where did the era of Lamborghini Vs Ferrari go?

Designers are out here messing up cars it's no longer "Gas Vs EV", it's now something else!

Happy Birthday to Me 🎉

@TheCleanCarClub Putting your iPod while you play music???

I put the car keys there when driving

Day 80 of tagging @elonmusk until he gives me $14,700 for my dream project car.

80 days in.

I've gone from knowing absolutely nothing, to knowing just enough to realize I still know almost nothing.

Progress is weird.

Day 79 of tagging @elonmusk until he gives me $14,700 for my dream project car.

Question for the mechanics reading this:

What's the one job that looks easy on YouTube...until you actually try it yourself?

I'm trying to avoid becoming tomorrow's cautionary tale.

[Rookie_Builder @rookie_builder]

@Matt_Pinner 1 and 2
1 was driving reverse and braked.
2 was driving forward and braked.

[Rookie_Builder @rookie_builder]

@Thecargi01 I can't choose between the AMG Black Series and the SLR McLaren

[Rookie_Builder @rookie_builder]

Day 78 of tagging @elonmusk until he gives me $14,800 for my dream project car.

Another $100 added
Project fund: $300

Three months ago this was just an idea, now there's real money behind it.

Elon can still save me the remaining $14,700, but either way, we're building the car.

[Rookie_Builder @rookie_builder]

@Thecargi01 More cylinders=More fun

Day 77 of tagging @elonmusk until he gives me $14,800 for my dream project car.

Let's settle this:

If you could own ONE classic Japanese car forever, what are you picking?

I'm taking notes.

And probably developing expensive tastes.

Day 76 of tagging @elonmusk until he gives me $14,800 for my dream project car.

I've been saying things like:

"when I get the Datsun..." instead of "if I get the Datsun."

That's either confidence...or delusion with good marketing.

[Rookie_Builder @rookie_builder]

@TheCleanCarClub I trust Japanese car manufacturers

[Rookie_Builder @rookie_builder]

Day 75 of tagging @elonmusk until he gives me $14,800 for my dream project car.

75 days.

No followers worth bragging about.
No car.
No viral moment.

Still here though.
That's gotta count for something.

[Rookie_Builder @rookie_builder]

@awkwardgoogle Ts all fun and games until that thing hits a T-Pose💀

[CLEAN CAR CLUB @TheCleanCarClub]

What does “M” mean?

[Rookie_Builder @rookie_builder]

@TheCleanCarClub Aaah shit...this is a 2014-2016 Toyota Harrier Gear Shift.

Yep, the "M" means "Manual Mode", meaning you can now change gears yourself from 1-6.

But it's a hassle coz I have never seen a Harrier come with paddle shifters; you shift gears on the gear stick.
