Future Plans for Driving for Broke - $5k Show Car?!

I want to make an announcement today but first I want to say a couple things. The car and this website especially led me down this road where it's becoming a career. I think I have $10 now from the ads on here! Jokes aside, this is a fledgling website and I write for free anyway. I enjoy it. Writing that is - not being broke. But if I wasn't... there would be no DFB!

That's one of the nicest Celsiors I've seen. (Opinion!)

I wanted to announce that I am writing a book that should be out. I didn't leave anything out of that sentence. My manager said I should tell you guys we have no idea. No but really, if all goes according to plan, there might be a book as early as July of 2019 or something like that.

Did you guys expect something like that?
I've excelled in language reading and writing from first grade. Taking my GED because I dropped out of school, I got a 12.9 on both English portions (one reading, one writing). What that means is that I was at least college level at that point (the score doesn't go higher) and I wrote a book by the time I was 18 years old. When I started writing it, that became my goal. To finish before I turned 19, that is.

Where is the book? I have it in electronic form. I self published and sold some. But why did I stop? Because I had certain problems at that age. The book was a completely referenced scientific book called On Accessible Narcotics. Basically, it was about 40 different things that are widely available, get you high, and a lot of these things are sold in supermarkets for other uses. I compiled the data over a long time.

But one day it hit me. I don't want to be responsible for anybody becoming addicted to drugs. I have to share this so you know my background as a writer and I will send you a pdf if you don't believe me. Just email me at norgin@gmail.com and I will send you the electronic copy. It's about 140 pages. Check if out if you want and delete it!


My writer's block after that stuck with me for 7 years or so. So that's what's going on with me. What's up with the book? It's going to be kind of like this website as far as the content except it's going to be a system to have you able to build a show car for $5,000 or less. This is my goal and I know my strength. I can hit that mark. If me and my associates don't all agree that the book is perfect, it won't come out until we all agree it's ready.

There's another side to the book. I don't like low quality garbage. If I buy a technical book meaning it's not like a fiction novel, every page should be packed with info. Well not only will it have all of the info you need but the book is being written in a way to teach YOU to work on cars. And not just a mechanic.

We will be going through how to do everything yourself so you can put your time into learning anything from upholstery to painting cars cheap but at a professional level to flipping cars. What that mean is that you can either start your own business or work for somebody. You should always try to have two sources of income (at least) so for example, you can hold down that job while doing side work like welding.





It's China, just leave them alone... *sigh*


On a personal note, I wish I would have taken welding at a technical school. It's okay because I will learn by myself when I can afford a MIG welder. They're cheap but other things are in the way right now. Just being able to do my own exhaust - which I would do today if I had a welder! For a muffler delete or a straight pipe, you will pay S250-400 minimum and for the higher price for the latter. With a S130 MIG welder, $12 grinder, and probably $40-60 worth of pipes, you can make your own exhaust in a day and keep the tools.

I used all of my intuition for this and honestly, I thought I would never ask. However, this car thing has become my whole life. I'm also putting everything I have into it. My wife agrees so she works all the time to keep us afloat. It's time. Now that I'm writing this book and have been trying to get disability for months, and especially for my wife, I ask, if you could, donate S1. S5. $0.25. If you enjoy this website at all, please help keep it going.

PayPal: chariotcarsfl@gmail.com
Patreon; Will set up soon.

Any significant donation (to me, $15 is significant) will land you a free book when it comes out!

Wait, what are you using this money for? I see your beady little eyes...
First of all, I don't have beady little eyes. This money is going to be used strictly for the website. What does that entail? I have to pay to get it to the top of Google and maybe use some for advertising. Right now the amount of people that come here daily seems to be on a slow increase. We would like a higher base of people to contribute to this increase.

One of the possibilities is having the website designed in a way where I don't have to run it like a blog. Although that is not very big issue right now. Truly, I would like to start including not only better quality photos but video as well. I would personally contribute out of my bread budget. I would like to buy a nice camera which you can get at a paw shop for $89.99 easily.

We (there's people in the background) would be able to create much better scenes. As a reader, instead of pictures, you would be able to hear the engine, get walk-around videos, and all that. This is for feature cars and the site build (Lexi II!).

Whether you donate or not, I appreciate that you even read this far. Thank you for visiting the website. Listen, we are all human. Humans sometimes get themselves into situations where they need help. Like I said, I wasn't going to do anything like this but something is telling me to ask for help. I need help but please don't send me YOUR last $10. We will succeed and bring some great content to you. In the meantime, drive safe!

PS: Today my phone broke. Yeah, on top of everything else, so I'm trying to get a new one tonight.

I Call it Blackhorse - My New Project Car

When I first got this Focus, if you have read the other articles, I hated it. The headlights looked weird and it was making tons of noises. ...
