I not saying “Make Money” like for a living money, I am saying its not that hard to find a platform you want to play with, find good deals on the car and the parts, and DIY or pay people to do it for ya. MK4 gti, stock, clean enough, higher kmi roller ($2000 on cl, $500 on a set of used coilovers, $1200 on a set of nice wheels and decent tires, $100 in shit to detail it inside, buff it outside. $3800 into it. You cant tell me that you cant sell a simple clean car like that for $3800, or more.

its all about not going over the top and being smart. Jse, Wayne, Love4… the top 3 guys IMO here that seem to do very well at playing the car game.

> It’s not about making money on interest. It’s about separating funds into an account that isn’t a walk up bank you can just withdraw from. This isn’t a how to make money thread, it’s about saving.

I dont even follow your concept here. If people need to spearate their money in 30 places in order to save it, thats not solving the problem… saving money shouldnt have to come down to hiding it from reach.
