The answer is yes to every one of those questions. I've had the privilege of learning from the mistakes of others. my friend bought a 1994 Buick Roadmaster sedan for $1000, (you know the ones with the LT1 engine, and that are pretty much just an Impala SS with cushy suspension, rear drums, and an old man face

) and he claimed that he was gonna make it a "nice sleeper" 2 years and about 10k later it's still a rusty pile. A really FUN rusty pile, but a rusty pile none the less

.
He wants to get rid of it and sell it, but since it looks like crap and it's a car nobody wants he won't get a dime for it no matter what. So that taught me not to waste my money on worthless cars. My brother thought he could restore a 1971 Chevelle SS but he got only as far as tearing the front off and pulling the drive train out, and now it's been sitting for the past 10 years, taking up 1 bay of our garage. So that's taught me that if I want a nice car, buy a nice one in the first place because restoration projects never work out if you're the average person who has a job and other things to do. And my dad has a 1995 Mustang GT convertable that he bought as his Mid-life crisis car haha. And it was really slick and clean when he bought it. But since our garage was taken up by garbage and clutter and unmovable cars, (that didn't get cleaned out until I was 18 and I cleaned it myself) he didn't bother garage keeping it. Now the paint peels and the top is ruined.... plus our cats climb all over the cars and I HATE it

. So that taught me that if I have a nice car, you should have a place to put it.
