I suppose I'll hold onto this thing for a bit. I have my sunburst which is more luxurious, but this one has AWD, so maybe I'll use it in winter.
I've decided that I'm gonna flip the Kashira. Hopefully I can actually sell it. --- Post updated --- In other news, I think i'm going to get new wheels for my daily, because the off brand hubcaps aren't doing it for me. --- Post updated --- Before: After: I got some Hirochi Sunsport S wheels on the wagon and I think it looks a lot better.
New Character (Old one was getting boring ngl, but I'll be using the same house.) Name: Jonathan Oaks Age: 18 Location: Firwood, MI Car: 1991 D15 extended cab, HD version ( first car ) Misc.: I live with my dad out in the countryside and work as a residential / light commercial property maintenance guy along side school, first started when I was 16 and worked part-time with my dad. I mostly re-surface gravel and dirt driveways or tow various equipment that I need for a job.
My Kashira hasn’t sold yet, but hopefully it will soon. The new rims on my Sunburst are nice looking, and I like them a lot. Hopefully it will be able to handle the winter roads.
So while the shitbox Roamer sold rather quickly, the 200BX did not and led me to impatiently cutting off all of the good tubing from the roll cage and sending the car to the scrapyard. My yard looks so much better without all of the junk cars laying around anymore. With nothing else to do for the rest of the day, I didn't want to waste one of the last warm fall days for the year and decided to take the daily driver Hopper for some spirited driving on some of the seasonal roads.
I just finished hauling away and selling some scrap metal to the junkyard ( worth about 300$ USD ) When I remembered I was due for a vehicle inspection, when I showed up I did the usual and gave my keys to the inspector. But It wasn't even 5 minutes and he came out and told me that my car was no longer road worthy, he showed me extensive rust damage on the bottom of the frame, cab and bed. I called my dad and told him the situation, he then drove over with his truck to tow my truck and trailer back home. TL;DR: My truck's very rusty and it's no longer deemed road worthy.
So it’s beam Friday today so everything is on sale. I’ve headed to a few of the local stores and they are swamped.
After searching for a while on BeamBook market place, I found a pretty good combo deal on a 1994 D25 4WD, HD package, and a roll-over 2000 Ibishu Hopper ZXT-6 all for 4 grand ( basically all of my money but I need a new truck badly. ) I walked over to the house where the truck and car were at and I got the keys, titles, and quickly got my trailer with my new truck to come get this Hopper. I also went to the local pick-n pull yard and got all of the parts that I need to fix this thing up in the same color. Update: I'm selling my old D15 without the rims for 900$
So if I'm being honest, business hasn't been going too good at my shop. While this time of year is statistically slower for what I do, this is drastically worse than every past year. I've decided to hunt for an actual job in town somewhere but haven't had any real luck. If anyone has any leads on a potential job, please let me know.
I was sitting in my car on my phone and some idiot backed into me. We were able to swap insurance and now I have to find a body shop to repair my sunburst and get a rental. Moonhawk idiot is paying for it.

*Restarting because I ran out of ideas with my previous character and @Tuner from America 's new character gave me a good idea for one* Name: Cory Cook Age: 18.5 Location: Firwood, Maine Info: I live with my parents in Firwood, having just graduated high school this past summer. I'm in the process of saving up in order to move west and pursue my dream, all while maintaining my expensive hobbies with a $15 an hour job at the hardware store. Cars: 1994 Ibishu Hopper XT-6 This is my first car and one that I will probably keep forever. My parents bought it for me when I was 13. From then on, me and my dad worked on it to get it where it is today. It's been low maintenance and reliable, but I have major plans for it this winter if I can afford them. 1969 Gavril Barstow 423 V8 I bought this car when I was 16 for a relatively cheap price. At the time, it was mostly stock, but it wasn't long before I "ruined" it by beefing up the engine with a forged rotating assembly, solid roller boomstick, aluminum heads, stainless headers, an 850 CFM carb, high stall converter, and a locker out back. This car is what makes our neighbors, well, and pretty much everyone in the neighborhood hate me. 1996 Gavril Grand Marshal This 200K mile, $1000 hunk of shit is my winter beater for this year. Great idea, give an 18 year old a 4000+ lb. car with a V8 and rear wheel drive. To gain my parents' acceptance of this death trap, I mounted some all-terrains on it.
I decided not to get a rental and just get a new car and this is it. An Ibishu Hopper, top of the line model. It has special edition wheels and paint, and I was able to get it pretty cheap. Its probably going to be my winter car and I might even ditch the Sunburst. Although the sunburst has better seating, luxury, and space so probably not. I might even host an offroad tournament somewhere. I don't really want to customize it since its in such great condition, and I'm sure its fine offroad as is. The upcoming snow will have nothing on it. --- Post updated --- Even though its in great condition, I'm still going to offroad in it just because that's what Hoppers are made for.
Business has been good! I've gotten a lot of calls about re-surfacing rural driveways and that's frankly the easiest thing for me to-do. Get some gravel, spill it all, and then spread it out with my skid steer. And boom, I make 700$! So far I've made 1600$, that should be enough to buy some more tools I think...
