I'm testing out a new investment theory and I have no idea if it'll work.

I just bought a '63 Thunderbird for $6k. Pretty good condition, good enough to take some whore out on a date with.

My theory is the car is better than cash, since the dollar isn't worth dick right now. I can dump about $4500-$5k in to it and it'll be worth about $15k. I'm going on the advice of a coworker who buys, fixes up, and sells cars as a side project. He's been doing this for 30+ years and he recommended that I start doing it. He owns about 12 automobiles the last time I counted.

I wish I could find some "normal" investments like stocks that hold my interest. Oh well, buying and selling strange shit is more fun

Probably dumb to say, but just make sure you do a good job and keep it close to original if you want to make a profit off of it.

let's see some pics of it!

I'll be going on the advice of my friend until I get a better feel of what the hell I'm doing. At least I'm really good with doing my own work and installing stuff myself with domestic cars. Foreign cars, not so much. I bought an Alfa Romeo (the car in The Graduate, of you've never heard of it) from my friend's dad for $600 after my senior year of HS. Realized real quick I didn't know how to install shit, and ended up with a $1k loss the next year when I sold it.

I'll take some pictures of it when my roommate and I can run out to Leander to pick it up. It'll piss my other roommate off big time. That car isn't leaving the driveway for the entire weekend, and I know he'll throw a hissy fit because he'll have to park in the street and walk an extra 15 feet to the house. Whiny bitch
