Flipping Cars. - Topic

So you were furloughed? Damn son, that sucks.. But its good to take a break every once and awhile... The mentality that unemployment insurance is welfare is false.. Its temporary ground while waiting to find a job..

Yup lol... A break is in order. I cant just do nothing though. Ill go fucking nuts. I got another Corolla (Auto X racecar) that needs the engine put back. But its at my parents lol and its 50 miles a day... But i might just say fuck it and start on that. I also have a Civic i got for free at a friends house that needs flipped.. So i got some stuff lined up to wrench on.

Are you a mechanic? You can find cars parked which need simple things fixed to become reliable again.

Well, was lol. I was an Oil field mechanic for the past year. And before that i used to work at a Toyota Dealership.

If ya have all the tools necessary and the time, sure give it a try. I'd not rely on a full time career right off the bat but spare time, why not.

always go for more.

i never planned to sell my baja bug but when they told me they'd pay me 500$ over everything i put into it, i said TAKE IT lol

if i can make a profit i'll do it...

thats why everything i own is always for sale, for the right price
