The great debate... fun car vs real world

[DrYeRLiNt]

I keep going back and forth on my 1967 mustang. It needs a lot of work but could be such an amazing car if I dumped my money into it. Here's the dilemma...


I can dump money into this car and pray to god gas doesn't hit $8 a gallon...


or


I can save my money and have a good start for a down payment on a house when I get out of college.



Which would you do and why?

Save for a House!

 

[CAMELEON]

Definitely save up for a house. Even if gas does not go up, it is not going to come down much either. If gas stays the same, in a couple of years you can still make the changes or buy a different car.

Build the car you never no when your time is up!

 

[ford_racer]

Both. It's feasible, but will take longer for both. Figure out a budget, then figure out what percentage you want to allocate towards a house, and what you want to go towards the Mustang. I would do 75% house, 25% Mustang.

I say go into the buisness of selling the know how of getting a 67 Mustang down to 1800 pounds.:rollseyes :dw:

How do you do that anyway?:shrug:

Save for the House, then do hot rods. :bored:

 

[DrYeRLiNt]

It's easy for it to weigh 1800 pounds with no motor, no fenders, no transmission, no suspension, no rear axle, etc etc etc

House first, then mustang. Or both as Kyle suggested. Either way, a house would be more important imo.

 

[Lightning Steve]

Get a house with a garage, then you'll have the space and time for the Stang.

 

[NoFive0]

Get a house, it's a buyers market now an it will appreciate in value.

 

[canibus]

house, then refinance later and build the car then

 

[iCEMANSGCCC]

Save for a horse.



...yes, a horse.

 

[Shangsta]

House for sure

 

[blueovalfan]

If you finish that mustang are you gonna let it sit out in the weather at an apartment? Buy the house, you will have a garage and alot more possibilities.

House > Cars

 

[Hawkdriver23]

Save that shit! It's hard to put off the things that excite you, but you'll be glad u did later. Do the car when u can actualy "afford" to enjoy it, and not just "paying" for it.

 

[DaleM]

Do both, it may just take a lot longer to get the car to the dream state.

 

[97WHITEVENOM]

The price of gas has nothing to do with it..... Save for a house

 

[NO-BlkLightning2K]

house.

 

[BigCat]

save some build some
