This week on Money Pit, we take a look at answering the age-old question: Is buying someone else’s project car a good idea? It seems like a good way to save some money on aftermarket parts that you would end up buying anyway, but it can definitely be a huge can of worms. Come along as we inspect James’ new project car to see if he made a good move or just flushed his cash down the ol’ money pit!

We have a new channel!

    Sold my old truck, junk, after buying a newer one. When my neighbors asked how much I was selling it for, I told them that I refuse to sell it to anyone. I’m wreckless with my life but have a good enough heart to not trust my work with another’s life. I don’t understand how some mechanics are able to do shoddy work and call themselves professionals.
