Have you seen the prices of new cars lately?

It's like getting a second mortgage.

Even used cars are selling for more than they cost new a few years ago.


That's why I'm obsessed with making my current vehicle last as long as humanly possible.


Most people think "maintenance" just means changing the oil every 5,000 miles. Haha That's a joke. I am talking like rebuilding the engine, transmissions, and drive train. Replacing rusted body panels, and welding up and reinforcing rotted out frames.

At the farm we have made vehicles last past 50 years and over a million miles

Why make payments on new, buy junk and rebuild it at a 3rd of the cost of new. You got a bent frame! Fixable! You have a Rotten rusted out frame! Fixable! Blown engine or transmissions! Same Fixable!

Nothing is it fixable unless it looks like this


When it looks like this. Then it's too far gone to save

If you can create a new engine for your car you might as well buy a car

it only cost you to do it yourself at worst 500 dollars and for a shop to profess. redo an engine is like 2 grand to 5 grand when a new car is like 15 to 30 grand
