@MoneyJrod I have bought a number of smashed vehicles and have had years of low cost reliable transportation.
I bought this non running, smashed FJR for $500. I had it running well within 30 minutes. A few bolt on parts and it's a killer bike

Depreciation of a car doesn’t matter when you pay the car off and drive it till the wheels fall off

@GenXRevolt @ZacksJerryRig Because Canada does a better job at some things at 75 cents on the dollar.

Whatever, you said you worked i a support industry, in CANADA. Not the U.S. again, dont care. Like we couldnt make the exact same shit here and just embargo them from Canada....
In fact we DO make all the same shit here. Why the hell are we buying shit from Canada that we make here already? This is why Democrats shouldnt be allowed to vote.

@billsmachine @ZacksJerryRig Are you shitting me? Right to reapir is non existent in America. Your industry is why it costs an American farmer $13,000 for a "Tech" to come and push a fucking button, because a "Sensor" told them they needed to.

@GeorgeRoush I work at a skilled trades school in Ontario. This is such a great story. It looks like they did a solid job on your car. Well done.

Oh this blew up.
Little more about this car and why I have it:
The Car:
This is a 1971 Lincoln Mark III. It was the final and highest of the 1960s Lincoln continental coupes. Designed by Lee Iacoca, it is a 1930s throwback and set the standard for american luxury. It has a Ford 460 V8 at 365hp with 500lbft of torque. It seats 5 with two doors. It is black with a brown interior, and notably has anti-lock brakes and a power sunroof.
This car was purchased new from a dealer in Troy Michigan by a World War II (Europe) veteran in early 1971. He used it to take his wife to church and to the gentleman's club he owned.
He passed in 2018, and this car was slated to be scrapped if not sold. It sold at minimum bid to a Ford enthusiast who didn't have anywhere to store it, so he put it in his back yard.
In 2021, the city of Pontiac allegedly declared the car a nuisance and ordered it removed or destroyed.
I bought the car, previously non running, got it running, and drove it to Ohio through a snow storm.
That was December 2021.
About me and why I bought it:
My grandfather bought a Mark III in the 1990s, and he ultimately gave it to me when I was 15. The car was a wreck, and I couldn't afford to keep it. I sold his car when I was a teenager and deeply regretted it.
I promised my grandpa that I would buy it back, and when I found out I couldn't, I promised to buy a *similar* car. I bought this one while I was a cadet at USAFA and showed it to my grandfather.
I promised him that I would restore it and that he would ride in it to my wedding. He agreed that he would stay healthy until my wedding. I loaned it to the school so that students could have the same opportunity I did.
Unfortunately I am still unmarried, and my grandfather died before the car was finished.
I will bring it home next week and continue restoring it so that someday I can do for my grandkids what my grandfather did for me.
The school that restored this car was Toledo Public Schools, Waite Highschool Auto Body Program.
Didn't they do an incredible job?

@TheTyronus @CTVAtlantic The government has always been in the affordable housing business except for the last couple of decades. Maybe we would be in better shape if they would have maintained the policy

@CTVAtlantic Why is the government getting into the housing business?

@NoFrankingWay I always thought that Mueller just did a report. I didn't realize that he charged and/or prosecuted Trump.
English

@billsmachine Yeah. They wanted to lock him in jail for the rest of his life. I don’t really care. They’re all bad people.
English

@GenXRevolt @ZacksJerryRig Except for the parts and components that we sell you.
Cheers to figuring it out

@billsmachine @ZacksJerryRig Not our problem. CANADA, not America. DONT CARE.
