I think it's so cool that young, and older alike,of course,still like this old iron.
Maybe the auto enthusiast crowd can keep the old iron around for many more years.
One of these days a young kid may ask... what is that noise? my electric vehicle doesnt make all that wild noise, something wrong with it? Lol. Or my favorite, a kid asking what a carb is.

It's really fun when they ask what the third pedal is for.

See above quote to @SirRobyn0. This is fun lol
Does this mean I went over too, or not high enough? While knowledgeable and having a large collection, I always got the impression he is younger. SirRobyn said 25-35 (I would've guessed 25-26 or so myself but you said no dice so I guessed lower). The way I figure, dude can't be too too old, he seems youthful and makes a lot of mention of being around his folks, but also if he was like 16-18 he wouldn't have the money to be bringing multiple vehicles home from auction at a time. When I was 17 years old I owned 2 vehicles, both were valued at about $500 each, and I could barely afford to put gas in them and pay for liability, I made like $120/week. Unless he's a rich kid, I just can't see how he could possibly be younger than early 20s. But SirRobyn already said 25-35, so if that is too YOUNG, I don't imagine a resourceful intelligent guy like that is still living at home with his folks while being older than myself. Heck, my parents are lucky if I give them the time of day twice a month lol.

Close but no Cigar. Good guesses though. By The Price is Right rules, I guess Justin won, haha.
I'm 20.

Thanks for your compliments. I try to act a little older, and be more professional when selling parts and helping people. I'm not rich by any means. Everything I own and have ever bought, I've bought with my own money. Never had an allowance or any hand outs, I just work hard and save every penny.
Been working pretty regularly since I was 15, and I dont have video games or a computer or anything like that, so I dont throw money away like most of my friends my age. I invest in my cars and trucks.
Out in the country it's good to have bartering stock, because someday the concept of money wont exist, so all you'll have are items and skills, and I have plenty, haha.
Now because of acquiring skills working on my old trucks, people come to me for advise and help. I have a few people that I work on their cars for, now.

Very impressive, young man! I'm just catching up on this, and felt compelled to compliment you.

I remember seeing a picture of your vehicle collection and never would have guessed a guy under 30 could accumulate that sort of "wealth". You should be very proud of yourself.

I like to think that someday I'll have a cool collection of 10+ vehicles myself, but living in town really cramps my style in that department.

Well thank you.
I just sorta happened. In 2018 I started with my 84 Blazer, and they just kept multiplying, haha. I have 26 currently.
