hypothetical $6,000

if my brother was hanging out with his friends, playing around, and
If my brother had got hit by a drunk driver in a haistings parking lot,
and if the driver had been found guilty, and if my brother sued for $17,000,
and if he was sooo ******* cool as to give his older brother $6,000

what should i get?

Rebuild (large street)?
5 lug conversion and rims?
coilovers?
standalone?
big brakes for four lug set up (i have 17'' falken hanabis already)


not too concerned with the paint so much

is there anything else i might wanna get IF this was the situation

I think if he were to get 17K he needs to put it away, but if you were top get 6k & you felt like dumping it in the car I would do engine & stand alone.

I was in 2 Crotch Rocket Accidents. First One Nearly killed me. Was rear ended. I was at a dead stop and the car was doing 45mph.

I was not riding in the snow.. Started snowing after the accident.
this was just over 2 years ago.





I was stopped on the side of the road, parked and the moron didnt see me. The bike and I hit the ground and slid for like 30 feet.

Was not fun!

Dont waste all 6k on your car. Spend 2k on the car, and use the other 4k to do other things you enjoy. Cars are very poor investments, and it would be stupid to waste the one time in your life soneone hands you 6k on a car.

Go on vacation, buy some stuff you need, spend the money on yourself.
