    Easy. Just buy two of them and wreck one and keep the other in a glass case.

    Nah.

    Current MX5/Miatas are still in the 2300s.

    Man... While I'm not sure if its because I'm older and "wiser" now, or maybe I'm just a little more lazy.. However, 10 years ago I would have definitely agreed with you on buying crashed supercars and putting elbow grease into them if I had fuck you money. Now though... No fucking way.. the last thing I want to do anymore is work on cars/bikes I ONLY want to drive/ride them on race tracks. If I fell into a jackpot I'd be buying all sorts of shit and beating the living snot out of it. When it has issues, it goes to someone that is NOT me for repair. lol

    When I switched from cars to bikes in 2019 I was in love with how easy these things are to work on in comparison. However, even now after having a bunch of really stupid annoying issues this year, I'm really considering having a shop build my next race bike if I continue with this sport. I'm done buying used shit, and I'm tired of working on my bike at the race track because my job/personal life eats up a lot of garage time now. lol

    I think I'd rather have a Singer 911 over that Cobra thing... But.. I don't like cars that have their roof missing. My wife bought a Miata a few years ago and I wouldn't work on it until she first bought a hardtop. lol

    Dude. Talking my language. Had a guy I know comment this exact thing last week about me. I had stopped by his shop with my 69 Camaro while trying to tune in the Holley Sniper fuel injection I just installed just to say Hi. When I left I hammered on it pretty good and banged through the gears. Few days later I was at another friends place and he tells me that the other guy commented to him about how it I don't baby my car. Told him nope, I drive it for fun, and if it's not putting a smile on my face, and I have to worry about breaking something, then I better find something else. Because dropping the clutch and smoking tires is fun. Stone chips be damned.

    That thing is so beautiful. Hard to imagine it being what it really is, a 2+2 coupe made for the task of being driven like it was stolen.
    Send it!

    well working on them is what I do for a living… so my end game goal is to buy wrecked super cars, work on them in my garage, drive them for a while while fixing the next one and slang em off online. There’s hella money in it because I won’t have the overhead of a shop and employees and have the skills do literally all of it myself. Of course this is all assuming the economy stays afloat and there are people to actually buy them haha

    I don't understand these.

    You could buy a used one and have it restored how you want it for a third of the price?

    That man is a case study in "great idea for content, questionable real life outcome". I'm entertained, mostly, by him. But, I don't want to throw money down bottomless holes like him.
