Honestly anon, I'm not sure that it is. This isn't something that I've ever heard of.

Op you've lived under a rock for the last 5 years? Millennials don't give a fuck to cars or driving whatsoever.

>>17711756

My goals are simple.
1. Establish a following of 25k a month.
2. Make my way to $2000 a month in profits.
3. Re-invest the money gained in OC content, likely locally to start, and trips eventually. I'd like to start working on an actual show I would like to produce/direct.
4. Work my way to $10k a month in profit and whatever it may take to achieve this goal. I know this is more wishful thinking, but I hear so many success stories but nobody ever says how they got there. I can't help but feel like they were spoon fed their success. But again, I'm inexperienced, so I very well could be missing something.

I am new to this, but not to cars or filming. Just looking at getting the momentum going so I can come out with some great content that I have yet to see on any blog or car show so far. Can I get some advice?

give up while you're ahead

you have no clue how hard it is to make a living off of automotive journalism/blogging. do something more reasonable and productive with your time

Nah, I enjoy it. So I will keep at it. Feel free to leave some real advice, though.

you're going to blow $2k in the first two months on the engine/electronics. Don't touch an old m-car unless you buy the thing outright

>2 grand saved
easily have repairs that cost half that for minor shit. Don't be an idiot, buy something you can afford and is practical.

Put them in and see. It's really hard to fuck anything up that bad with spark plugs.

This is an NB miata. interior is fully customized.

Lotus (exige or elise?) seats, Personal steering wheel and a bunch of other goodies. this car is def under $40k

>>17708147
People could but since its subjective you can just blow em off.

>>17708147
this is how you do interior tech
the German model of bolting iPads to the dash and having blue lines running all over the place is fucking shit

Why is it always americans that have these problems?

There's something more to this story. This guy looks like he's hiding something.

Also this >>17704478

Engine was hydrolocked by some splashing water, and a new engine is around 70 fucking grand
Which is literally the same price as the car

Sorry to hear your parents didn't love you enough, OP

Instrument Apprentice Internship at John Deere
>Income
$14/hr
If I intern for 2 years and my performance stays in the 90% on their "grading scale" - when I finish my degree I can automatically be brought on as an Instrument Tech which last I knew starts at 28-30/hr so thats my goal.
>Education
working on my BA
>Living Situation
in crappy typical college duplex with my sister and cousin
>What you drive
06 Grand Prix GT and 91 300zx that needs a new clutch currently.
>Automotive related plans
have a $80 used but good clutch I got off ebay for my 300zx. Going to put it in a few weeks so I can just drive the car again. I graduate next Summer and will hopefully start full time at John Deere and around then I want to sell the car and buy a BRZ/FRS to set up for road race/autocross

Look for a stock IS300 or GS300. It might be pushing the 3k limit but they're right around there in price.

Location?

No shit. They're also stupid enough to run 220v to every socket.
