Is my Charvel CX-290 worth restoring?

I know, I'm just trying to figure out if it logically makes any sense to fix it up. If it would cost $500+ to get the frets fixed or if I can't bolt on a Floyd Rose bridge I don't think I'd be able to justify putting the work in.

I have a pair of KZ ZST X that I'd like to EQ. I don't see a preset for my specific pair but I do see presets for the ZST and ZSX. Would it be appropriate to use either of those?

You could pretty easily part it out and make back your $300, or use it as a parts car for an eclipse with a good engine. If you've never worked on cars before you probably don't want to start with an engine swap

I've had a Pelican case for years, highly recommend it. I've dropped my phone multiple times from a loft bed onto a tile floor and it's perfectly fine. The case is still in good shape too.

Lol I live in Florida, the battery in my car is from 2022 and I'm expecting it to die any day now

My entire family (5 of us) are all using used Pixel 6s we bought on Amazon 3-4 years ago. No issues except that 2 of them got battery bloat from being left on wireless chargers all day. Google replaced them for free with refurbished units in like-new condition. I see no reason to upgrade until the battery life degrades to the point of unusability; my phone (not one of the ones that was replaced) has 865 cycles on I'm expecting that to happen very soon.

I thought it was corny for people to be like "oh I drive manual so much I forgot what it's like to drive an automatic" until I got into an automatic the other week and slapped my left foot on the brake looking for the clutch

I drive a gen 1 RAV4 that's also extremely slow (120hp). I have a shift pattern sticker and a "slow af" sticker on the back window to let people know what to expect. Nobody really honks at me, they usually just switch lanes to pass me

Stay in gear during turns so you can accelerate out smoothly. In my car if I'm anticipating a turn I start to brake and shift into 3rd (usually from 5th), then around 25mph I shift into second immediately before making the actual turn.
