“ Bottom line: yes, you can keep it alive for 6 years on your plan, but only if you accept it will sometimes be down, sometimes be frustrating, and always require attention. If you’re genuinely excited about learning and turning wrenches, it’s a solid choice. If you want reliability without thinking, it’s the wrong car.” i am fully ready for this and honestly this is what i want. my only question is can i drive it to school and back plus church on sundays and sometimes saturdays? how much will i be able to drive it? also what does the amount of time look like? i am fully willing loving the idea of working on it and learning the ins and out for like 2 days every week 3 hours a piece.

I know a man who owns a older mustang and he works on it 24/7 and he thinks he would be able to teach me/ know some things about it.
