That’s because YT usually spends that money restoring the INSIDE: transmission, engine, drivetrain, &c.
Whatever remains, is used to make the car look decently presentable—a good shine, &c. Giving it that showroom look.

The Racial Wealth Gap: Why A Typical White Household Has 16 Times The Wealth Of A Black One The simplest answer:
D'OH!
Maybe because the White Household values education, thinks being a taxpayer-supported indolent pet is demeaning and have skills that allow them to get and hold a paying job outside of government?
Where performance counts?
Just maybe.

Or to the mechanic who has worked on our vehicles for the past twenty years. It's well known in our community that he's a millionaire. Or the plumber who said "it's $95 just to walk through my door" (ended up being $350 for about an hour's work) -- work I certainly didn't know how to do!

LOL, yes.
If I had a son, I would encourage him to consider trade school. He would come out with a skill that would earn him serious money, he wouldn’t have the crushing college debt load, and he wouldn’t have to go to work at Starbucks.

I live in the “burbs”...but every once in a while you will see somethin on the road that is so odd that you can’t help but notice it.
Those cars are it. An old car painted and wheeled up, and under the hood they are still a piece of junk. After all the bling and life there’s not enough money or expertise to get the mechanicals working properly.

I had wondered about that. I have seen them at car shows, but of course those people have real money and they spend years on those cars.

I heard the other day that jobs will be different. Kinda like how the industrial revolution changed jobs.

Your dad’s story IS exceptional. He put his life on the line when he joined the Navy and also worked hard to rise from the ranks. You had an exceptional father.

To: ncpatriot
You've heard the term creative destruction I'm sure. As old jobs are lost to new technology, many more new ones are created by the free market. No central gov. can plan effectively what millions of people in a free market economy can create.
It's like telephone operators. Back in the early seventies there were many thousands. Virtually all of them lost their jobs due to the new phone technology. They weren't needed. A socialist government/society would have kept them on. A free market says those workers had to learn new skills.
I don't know what happened to those unfortunate telephone workers, but what happened to them has happened to millions of other workers since the IR. Their jobs became obsolete.
But new technology created new jobs, and workers had to adapt. That is what is needed now. And institutions of learning should be focused on helping train students for the new jobs. Many of which haven't been invented yet. The protean worker is what we are looking for. Somebody able to adapt to new technology.

Rap music is a direct product of the Democrat’s Great Society. That entire genre wouldn’t exist, but for Democrat policies.
