Only 1k, won't start. Others go for 4-6k.

Whenever you use forceful and overt verbal persuasion to try to convince others to see things your way, they're probably not listening to what you say, Instead they're looking for every error in you your logic and mistakes in your facts, all the while constructing counterarguments. Worse still, they don't merely believe you're wrong; they need you to be wrong in order to protect the status quo. And since the final judge exists in their own head, you lose every time. - The Influencer

I like it especially if Jeff can get it running. Kid might actually love it as a first car.

We get it, hopefully fix it, have some laughs, and then flip it.

Or...

We don't fix it, and then we literally flip it. Down a hill. Into a bonfire.

Either way, fun is had.

You beat Coop to it :lol:

Start your own thread. Don't degrade such an awesome build by tying it to this failed joke of a car.
